Instructions for collecting keepsake items

If the occasion has already passed, you will need to search your house/loft for items to include.  It is surprising the amount of things we keep for their sentimental value, but up until now have not had any real use for them.  Anything related to the occasion could potentially be included in a frame, but try to keep them colour coordinated.  If the occasion is yet to happen, the following information will give you an idea of the best items to collect.  Please also bear in mind that the maximum size of the frame is 16 x 12 inches, and the depth of the frame is approx 1.25 inches.


When packing items to be posted, please try to keep them as flat as possible, and protect any delicate items with tissue paper or bubble wrap, and we will endeavor to do the same when returning any unused items to you.

If you have any ideas of your own that are not listed below, please feel free to include them. 
Or if you have any queries about the suitability of a particular item, then please send an email to
tina.allen@keepitinaframe.co.uk, or telephone 07766877002 and we will be happy to assist you.
