I’m a strong believer in fate. When I was 18 I left home (a story for another day) and I needed somewhere to live pronto. Someone overheard my conversation and put me in touch with her friend who’d been let down on a house share. The next day I met the girl, who was to become the closest thing I’d ever have to a sister. We shared a house, ended up working together and spent pretty much all of our social time together. Over 30 years later and we are still the very best of friends. My friend A turns 50 at the end of the month, I still can’t quite comprehend how that’s possible, but it’s a fact. I turned to the personalised prints from EllieBeanPrints to come up with a little something to celebrate her birthday.
I wanted to send her something that would make my friend A smile, a memento of her half century, and yes she’s a year older than me, so I can shout out about her hitting the big 50, knowing I’ve still got a year to get used to the idea.
I decided on The Day You Were Born Personalised Birthday print as I remember her sending my son a newspaper and DVD that were out on the day he was born. I thought she’d appreciate the twist.
There are a number of different size options available for this print, I opted for the A4 Lustre print.You can also arrange for your print to be framed It is normally supplied on a Sage or Blue background, my friend has a likely for a particular shade of blue, so I added this in the notes section to see what could be done to make her print even more personal. Then it was a case of supplying her name, date and place of birth, along with any other special requests. You can even add a special message to your print. This particular print size is available for £12.50. You can also add gift wrapping for £3.50 if you want your print sent directly to someone.
A proof is then emailed to you to check the details before your order is processed. Delivery is also very prompt. I couldn’t wait to see the finish of the Personalised prints from EllieBeanPrints.
I know she’s going to love her birthday print from EllieBeanPrints. The paper is a high quality 280gsm weight and the overall finish is very good. It’s packaged well too. They cover a wide range of ideas, so if you’ve got a new baby arriving, a wedding coming up or even an idea to try something different for Mother’s Day, then it’s definitely worth looking at the range of prints available. I’m going to become a Great Auntie in September and I can see one of the personalised Nursery prints going down well with my niece.
