Personalised Handprint Frame

A handprint frame made personal for someone they love

Little hands grow quickly. This personalised handprint frame gives Mum, Dad or a grandparent a way to keep a small reminder of them. Choose the recipient and painted colour, add your engraved message, then let the children finish the blank wooden centre with their own colourful handprints.

The “Hands Down” design combines a raised wooden recipient word, a painted border and dark engraved details. Whether it says Best Mummy Ever, Best Grandad Ever or Best Grandma Ever, the finished gift carries the children's prints and the words you chose together.

Please note: your frame arrives with a blank centre for decorating at home. Handprints shown in the photographs are examples. Paints, brushes and ink pads are not included. One personalised wooden keepsake and its display stand are supplied.

What makes this keepsake special?

• A choice of recipients: Dad, Daddy, Mum, Mummy, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandad, Granny, Uncle, Auntie or Custom.
• Raised wooden wording: the chosen recipient stands out above the natural wood, with BEST and EVER completing the design.
• Your own engraved message: add a short sentiment, children's names, a sign-off and an optional date beneath HANDS DOWN.
• Seven painted colours: Black, Grey, White, Beige, Pink, Blue and Brown for the frame and matching raised word.
• A blank space for real handprints: create the finished gift with your child rather than sending a photograph of their hands.
• Display stand included: a freestanding wooden keepsake for a desk, shelf or mantelpiece.
• Layered wooden construction: made using 3 mm birch plywood components, with a natural wooden centre and a slim decorative border.

For Mum, Dad, grandparents and more

Create a Father's Day handprint gift for Dad or Daddy, a Mother's Day handprint keepsake for Mum or Mummy, or a birthday surprise for Grandma and Grandad. The same design can celebrate the uncle who always makes them laugh or the auntie who is there for every little adventure.

Select Custom for another short family name, such as Nana, Nanny or Papa. The wording should be the name the children actually use. For a longer recipient word or a different arrangement, contact us before ordering so we can check the available space.

You can include more than one child's name in the engraved message. If several children will add prints, plan their positions first: how many fit will depend on their hand sizes. You might choose different paint colours for each child or keep all the prints in one colour.

How to personalise your handprint frame

1. Choose who it is for. Select the recipient from the menu. This becomes the raised wooden word. For Custom, enter the exact recipient word in your personalisation details.
2. Choose the frame colour. This colours both the wooden border and raised recipient word. The centre stays natural wood; the engraving stays dark.
3. Enter the complete bottom wording. Include the short message, children's names and sign-off you want engraved. Add a date only if wanted. Separate the lines clearly.
4. Check your spelling. Check names, punctuation, kisses and dates before checkout. Names, sign-offs and dates are not added automatically.

Custom recipient example: choose Custom, then enter “Recipient: Nana” followed by your bottom message and names. The standard words BEST, EVER and HANDS DOWN remain part of the design. Contact us before ordering if you want to change them or request a precise layout. A wording preview is available on request.

Choose a colour that suits their home

Pick a classic Black, Grey or White finish, a warm Beige or Brown, or a soft Pink or Blue. The gallery includes a colour chart and finished examples so you can compare the options. Your selected colour applies to the frame and raised recipient word together; it does not select the handprint paint.

Pink and Blue have a gentle pastel appearance. Wood grain, painted texture, daylight and screen settings can cause slight differences between the photographs and the piece you receive.

Finish it with their little hands

Set aside a little time to make the gift together. Protect your table and practise a print on spare paper before using the wooden centre. Use a thin layer of paint suitable for children's handprint activities, press gently and lift the hand without sliding. Allow the first print to dry before adding another.

Choose decorating materials separately, following the manufacturer's instructions and age guidance. An adult should supervise the activity. Keep water to a minimum and let the finished design dry fully before placing it in the supplied stand.

What arrives in your order

You receive one personalised wooden handprint frame with its wooden display stand. The recipient, colour and engraved wording are prepared to your order; the central area is left blank for you to decorate. Paints, brushes, ink pads and photographic props are not included. This is a wooden craft keepsake with an open wooden surface, rather than a glass photo frame.
