Framed Gifts

If you’re looking for something totally unique to give a loved one for a special occasion, then you may have just found what you are looking for. Whether for a birthday or anniversary or maybe a present for Christmas or Mother’s/Father’s Day, the process starts by me sending out a questionnaire asking all about the person/people the poem is for and your relationship with them. Questions such as your earliest memory of them, things you love most about them, times you’ve been there for another, etc. and through your answers I put them all into a touching and humorous poem. The poem will be totally unique to you as I work to no template, and I use only the answers you provide through the questionnaire. Once completed we will discuss and if any suggestions of tweaks or amendments are requested then that’s absolutely fine and all part of the service.

Also available are private commissions for occasions such as retirements and funeral eulogies.

Framing

I also offer a framing service which can incorporate a photo or two which makes for a lovely gift.

Option 1

Total size 65 x 26cm per frame
Materials: Composite wood with glass front
Price: £45 which includes the frame, printing and postage with extensive packaging

The example shown has 40 lines of poetry with 1 photo.
However, for my popular longer compositions, you can use 2 frames thus allowing for 4 extra verses and 1 extra photo at an added cost of just £20.

Option 2

Total size: 43 x 26cm per frame
Materials: Composite wood with glass front
Price: £30 includes the frame, printing, postage with extensive packaging

£15 for any additional frames required (inc.p+p)

(N.B. Example shown is a total cost of £60 for the frames inc.p+p)

Lots of flexibility with this option and ideal for adding multiple photos. Each frame can accommodate compositions of up to 30 lines (no photos). The example shown has 3 frames and would accommodate 60 lines of poetry with 3 photos (standard 15 x 10cm landscape). You can order as many frames as you want and add numerous pictures to make a fantastic display.

 

I just wanted to drop you a note to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for your help with my speech. It was a resounding success – I got belly laughs, happy tears and lots of ‘awws’! Honestly, everyone was very impressed with many of my friends and family coming up to me after saying it was the best speech of the night, which is high praise as the other speeches were also brilliant. Most importantly, Ian loved it and it made him very emotional! I have to admit, when I got to the part when I was thanking both sets of parents, I had to take a pause and hold back the tears as well!
Throughout the process you have been a dream to work with and the result was such a beautifully written, yet extremely personal poem that captured everything I wanted to say. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️

Kevin did an amazing job on a poem for my father’s funeral. He immediately understood exactly what I needed and got the tone exactly right. He fitted in all of the key features that meant so much to me. When reviewing the poem he really made sure I was completely happy with it and took into account any edits I had.

Kevin is a really empathetic and kind person, I felt completely assured he would do his upmost to do his best. Which he did. The poem itself was incredible and got some many compliments. He really has a talent.
