Description
This little wooden heart decoration lifts away from its gold-coloured base to reveal a hidden hollow, so it is a keeper as well as something lovely to look at. The domed heart is painted all over in a multicoloured design, mainly soft blues with touches of orange, green, yellow and purple on white, with two patterned songbirds among flowers and leaves. At its centre, in a clean white panel, it reads "your FRIENDSHIP means the world to me", with the word friendship picked out in warm orange capitals. It is 8cm high, 6.5cm wide and 4cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of a hand.
We think of it first as a gift for a friend: the kind of small, heartfelt present that says what can be hard to say out loud. Tuck a folded note, a pair of earrings or a pressed flower inside before you hand it over, and the gift becomes a little surprise of its own. At home, it sits happily on a bedside table, a dressing table, a windowsill or a desk. There the bright birds and flowers add a cheerful spot of colour, and the hollow keeps small things together rather than lost in a drawer.
The heart forms the lid and sits on the shaped base, which follows the same heart outline with a raised inner rim, so the two line up neatly each time it closes. The painted design runs over the whole domed top. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, as you would any painted wooden piece. Because it needs no wall and no hook, it simply sits where you place it. Set it beside a framed photo of the two of you, or wrap it in tissue with a handwritten card for a friend who deserves to hear it.
