A witty and affectionate friendship poem. All about friends - the fabulous female ones, that is! This funny, heartfelt friend print makes the perfect gift for a best friend - whether it's her birthday, christmas, or a special occasion like being a bridesmaid.
Written by Bespoke Verse poet Joanna Miller, this poem began as a gift for her sister. It led to Bespoke Verse's range of 'What is a...?' poems that have featured in magazines such as VOGUE and Easy Living.
Whether she's a listening ear, a tireless shopper or a birthday surpriser, everyone will recognise the bond described in 'What is a Friend?'
The poem is printed on the highest quality card which measures H30 x W21cm (A4). It is unframed and presented smartly in cellophane with backing board behind. The background colour is taupe.
The text reads:
What is a Friend?
A winer, a diner, an outfit designer
A ringer, a bringer, a karaoke singer
A meeter, a greeter, a chocolate eater
A debater, relater, a smile reinstater.
A lift provider, an on-your-sider
A diva, a bopper, a tireless shopper
A lender, a sender, a book recommender
A snorter, a sniggerer, infectious giggler.
A baker, a caker, a mate mickey-taker
An ally, a sister, a gentle arm twister
A lip-gloss provider, a secret confider
A thinker, a winker, a latte drinker.
A texter, a writer, a party inviter
A colleague, a carer, a problem-sharer
A cocktail blender & cheeky rule bender
A gossipy chatterer, forgiver & flatterer.
A handbag borrower, a ring-tomorrower
A holiday planner, a poolside tanner (line 18)
A ‘stop for a cuppa’, a date fixer-upper
A free babysitter & fellow keep-fitter. (line 20)
A listening ear, a loyal volunteer
A welcome inquisitor, spare bed visitor
A misser, a kisser, a cinema hisser
A fellow fat-fighter, a stay late at nighter
A birthday surpriser & cherished adviser
A laugher, a kidder, anxiety ridder...
That’s what makes a friend!

Model kits make great presents - not just because they look great when they're finished but because they offer the recipient hours of enjoyment, the ability to learn new skills and the sense of achievement when the model's complete.
Our current range of precision laser-cut balsa kits hark back to an era of aeromodelling where "stick and tissue" planes were all the rage and a Sunday morning at the park would see dads and sons flying (and crashing!) rubber powered aircraft in every direction.
Free flight models hark back to the very dawn of aeronautics, when enthusiasts searched for the perfect balance of airframe design and trim settings to achieve the longest possible flight.
The essence of free flight is that once you launch your model, you have no further control over it.

These stunning large greeting cards have been designed by Gloucestershire based contemporary artist, Jane Lampard. It was originally painted in pastels.
They are blank inside and measure 15.5 x 15.5cm.
Each card is cello wrapped with a white envelope.
Statement by Jane Lampard
'I work in pastel or oil using subtle tones of paint to build up depth and atmosphere in my landscape paintings. I try to employ a sensitive approach, working directly from life whenever possible and drawing inspiration from the fleeting effects of the changes in the seasons, the weather and the light. There is so much that I want to record in the beauty of our landscape. I am particularly interested in the small farms which surround my home in south Gloucestershire, perhaps because I feel their traditional way of life is threatened. When working away from home I make frequent painting trips to Cornwall and also Tuscany and Venice where I have tutored small groups. For the past fifteen years I have had a yearly exhibition in my studio at home. My work has been exhibited with the Pastel Society, Royal West of England Academy, the Society of Women Artists as well as several leading provincial galleries. I am also a member of the Dobunni painters, a group of professional artists who paint in the Cotswolds'.
