Time Flies!

Well, at the moment time really does seem to fly by – one minute we were looking at stock for Christmas ideas, and then we were wrapping and posting like mad to keep up with the Christmas orders and then before we knew it Valentine’s day had come and gone and we are now looking at great new gift ideas for Mothers Day!

So I thought that I really should find some time to develop my idea of handmade personalised plaques and get them listed onto the website. I have been practising with different shapes of wood and colours and styles etc. and they have been selling very well on the stall, so now is the time to launch them onto Jaco’s Gifts online!

There are basically two types of plaques, the first are the ones that people request to be personalised with their own details, such as a baby plaque with the new baby name and weight and date of birth, or a wedding plaque with the happy couples name and date of wedding etc. and the second type are the ones that have slogans and sayings on “Sometimes I laugh so hard the tears run down my legs” type of thing!

You can choose the background colour, we have a few to choose from that work quite well and we will decorate the plaque to match the occasion, or if you have a specific request we will try and get that done for you.

I’m having great fun with these and it has been a nice break from working on the computer all of the time! My work table has taken a bit of a battering though, it is covered in bits of paint, but I don’t mind as eventually all the colours will meld into one and I will have a pretty colourful table top that is unique to Jaco’s!

So, next time you are looking for a unique gift why not pop by and have a look at our plaques, you never know what you might find!

Till the next time…….
