Gift Company “Butterfly Plate” Review – An Ideal Gift Item

Once again I am lucky enough to be working with Gift Company this Autumn to bring you a selection of items throughout November and December. All of these items would all make excellent gifts for people this Christmas. Check out my “Gifts” section of my blog for more examples of reviewed products.

Gift Company is a wonderful UK based and family run company that prides itself on providing unique and quality giftware, homeware and furniture, to the people of the United Kingdom.

They also have a huge range of Christmas related stock and a wide range of items that would make awesome gifts too. Available both in stores and on their website. But that is not all they do, and if you haven’t heard of them before today I think you should check out their information at the end of this review…

What Makes This A Great Gift

✩ A beautiful plate that stands out in any room.
✩ It’s well made and can be used as a decoration or carefully used for a serving plate.
✩ This set is a great gift for people who love butterflies as well as the colours used.

Things To Be Aware Of

✩ This plate is made of glass so needs to be handled carefully by adults.
✩ Keep the item away from children and pets due to its delicate nature.
✩ It’s hand painted so the plate needs to be handled with care, no dishwasher!

What Could You Use This Gift For? Who Is It Ideal To Give To?

This beautiful type of gift is ideal for adults who perhaps collect plates or glass, it is also ideal for those who love the theme of the plate. This one is of course a Butterfly, however Gift Company stock a large range of plates, some animal and bug related and some flowers.
Here is a link to the Gift Company page if you want to see all of the current plates they have available. PLATES
Remember there is still time to visit a Gift Company shop if you have one local to you! The list of areas for stores is below this final part of my review.

Overall Review Scores Elaborated

Overall I am happy with the scores I have given this plate. The 5/5 may seem a bit extravagant but it’s a hand painted item, for a great price. You’re getting a unique piece that is well made and has several uses. As a decorative piece you could lay it flat or purchase a plate stand (Gift Company also sell these). If you were using it to serve things on just remember that it is hand painted and therefore needs to be used with care. There are twenty layers of paint on this plate, it is built up to create the finished scene. It does have foam feet on the underside so it can be safely lain flat.

Plate Stand

If you require a plate stand for the item you’re buying then Gift Company also sells them. You can buy the small or large version depending on the dimensions of your plate. I was sent the Small version for my Butterfly plate.
Here are the dimensions and the image of the stand itself.
Small Plate Stand 19cm H by 14cm D and 14.5 W.
Price £3.00 (small) and £5.00 (large).

Thank you for reading this product review today, I hope that you have enjoyed reading about these great gifts. You can see more information about Gift Company stores and links to their online pages below. Have a great day and a wonderful Christmas!

 Gift Company approached me again this festive season after we collaborated last year, and I was more than happy to do some more product reviews for them. Every time we work together I am sent these items to review for free, in return for my honest opinions and photography. For this service I do get to keep the products. I personally use and test the items and through my own experience is how I write my review. I do not work for Gift Company, neither do I get paid any commission that is generated from any sales that may occur from my work.
