Personalised hand painted initial pictures for boys and girls –
Bespoke new baby gifts and luxury christening keepsakes in the UK, beautifully framed in 8 inch square or 6 x 8 inch white or natural wood frames.

Are these original paintings or prints?
Each initial painting is individually hand painted to order using watercolour and ink, making every piece completely unique.
Can I choose a theme or colours?
Yes — you can tell me your favourite colours or theme ideas like animals, flowers, vehicles or woodland friends, and I will paint them into the letter design.
Are these suitable as baby gifts?
Absolutely — they make perfectly personal keepsakes for new babies, christenings, naming days or first birthdays.
Can I add a name or date?
Yes — there’s space beneath the initial for a name and date if you’d like an extra personal touch.
Are these safe for a nursery?
The framed artwork uses lightweight acrylic safety ‘glass’, making it more secure and less fragile than traditional glass.
What occasions are these perfect for?
They are ideal for welcoming a new arrival, marking special milestones like christenings and birthdays, or simply adding classic personalised décor to a child’s room.
