Between the endless list of birthdays, baby showers, births, baptisms, naming days and confirmations there’s little wonder we sometimes find ourselves completely overwhelmed and under-inspired when it comes to choosing a unique and appropriate gift to mark that special occasion.

The celebration of an impending first birth, the arrival of a precious babe or a christening or confirmation service are all significant moments in the lives of those within our family and friendship groups and it is for that reason that our choice of gift is so important.  A gift from the paper miniature 3D art range at Love Paper Scissors is the perfect choice to beautifully commemorate such a special occasion.

Personalised designs complete with your choice of intricate paper cut art silhouettes, colour schemes, quotes and individual scribe make for the most exquisite gifts imaginable.
If it’s a unique baby shower gift you covet, and the sex of the child is not known, look no further than the divine new Fruit Art range, which embraces delightful apples, pears and strawberries that look good enough to eat!

Perhaps you’ve been searching aimlessly for a confirmation gift with a difference or maybe you’re a god parent in need of a meaningful, spiritual present for a christening?  A favorite poem or list of quotes encapsulated in a beautifully framed 3D art wall hanging is sure to impress.


Whether your preference is fairies, ballerinas, sail boats, butterflies, trains, owls or babushka dolls –your customised piece from the Love Paper Scissors range is guaranteed to become a symbolic keepsake for that special child in your life.

I was recently asked a few questions about Christening, Godparent and Naming Day Gifts by the fabulous Laura from Studio Bambini - have you seen the divine magazine?

* In your experience, are people these days looking for something more unique than
 the traditional christening gifts? Why do you think this is?

   

* Why do you think personalised christening/naming ceremony gifts are such a good choice?

The celebration of a christening or a naming day is such an important event for the family of the new baby.  It is a way of blessing the life of a unique child and welcoming them into the family and friendship circle.  For that reason, the gift needs to be just as unique and individual as the blessed child.  A gift from the paper miniature 3D art range at Love, Paper, Scissors is the perfect choice to beautifully commemorate such a special occasion.  My personalised designs will become a keepsake for the child - a lasting reminder in years to come of the importance of that day.

 


* Is it more important to go for something special/memorable or something practical that the child/parents will actually use?

Practicality shouldn’t enter the equation when it comes to marking an occasion that only happens once in a person’s lifetime.  A christening gift should be one that is symbolic, memorable and personal - one that holds a place of special significance as the child grows up. 

* What do you think makes a great christening/naming ceremony gift?

A heartfelt gift that will grow with the baby from infancy to adulthood.  A keepsake that is timeless and symbolic with a unique point of difference.  Paper miniature 3D design artworks from Love, Paper, Scissors are a gift for life.  They are exquisitely intricate and beautifully crafted with love.  They will never go out of style and as the years pass by, will make the perfect piece for a future family heirloom.

After a truely unique, personal and gorgeous baby keepsake?  Dig your precious baby invitations, announcement cards and photographs out of the cupboard and turn them into an amazing framed artwork to proudly display in your home - or perhaps give as wonderful christening or birthday gift.  The new Photograph and Invitation keepsakes will be treasured for years.  You can even choose to have a name and/or dob printed underneath.

It’s a little scary to think how quickly they grow up. In no time at all little bundles become little munchkins and soon they’re playing video games and surfing the Internet. With the whole emphasis today on having the latest and fastest technology and gadgets (even for young ones), it feels good sometimes to create beauty and joy with something as simple as paper. With this in mind, have a look at these 3D paper artworks, all based on classic boy toys. Whether you’re looking for something special for your son’s room, or a unique birthday gift for someone else’s son, you’re bound to find something that’s just ‘him’.


The fun Retro Robots frame is by inspired by retro sci fi images, with the robots crafted from vivid red, blue and green papers. The artwork features a white background and simple white frame to suit any colour scheme and to brighten up any little boy’s room. These works can even be personalised with a name, birthday or birth date added to the matt board under the image, and are available from $55.


If you’re boy is more of a train enthusiast (they all are at one stage or another!) the Toot Toot Train design is likely to be greeted with great enthusiasm. Toot Toot features cute cut outs of classic steam trains (engine and trailers) and you can choose from two or three trains per frame. They’ve been created from pale blue papers with checks or polka dots. One nice touch is to include the boy’s name and its meaning, and you’re able to do so with your choice of font and/or any other personal messages. The framed Toot Toot work is 27 x 22cm including the box frame, frame back stand and hook.
 

As the basis of theLittle Sailor, paper works are nautical inspired prints, which have been shaped into little sailing boats. The raised 3D effect gives the impression they are sailing away. Just close your eyes and picture the warm ocean breeze! You can order these works with a smooth or swirling ocean background in white or the colour of your choice.and even have names and birthdays printed within the artwork). They can be ordered in small, medium or large sizes (from 3 to 25 boats) and will look striking on any future yachtsman’s wall.


Whether your little boy is into planes, trains or sailing the high seas; dogs,dinosaurs or dump trucks; and whether he’s a fan of sci fi movies, or still a bouncing bub, we have artworks that will fascinate and inspire. Framed paper 3D art makes a truly special gift for birthdays, baby showers or naming days. Not only is your well thought out gift likely to be treasured, but the risk that anyone else will give a gift quite as beautiful is almost zero!
