Best Friend Picture Frames



I found the other day that I was after some best friends picture frames for my kids to give to their friends, who were moving away from the local area.  I found some really good options, which I will share with you further down this page, but before I do that, let's just talk about the reasons why these are important to buy and display.

As I said, my daughter's best friend was moving away from our town and school and we wanted something to give to them both so that they would be able to remember each other.

In this day and age of digital communications, Facebook, Skype and everything else (that seems to change way too quickly) having a picture frame that could be on display all the time was something that we thought was important.

We felt that digital photo frames or pictures viewed on mobile phones were way too "impersonal" compared to a picture frame stood up on your shelf or on the wall.

We were thinking of just getting hold of a normal picture frame, but then found that there were others specifically designed for people to display images of friends in - perfect for what we needed.

We did some research online and came up with these 3 items that most suited our needs for them both.

Unless you are an artist or good at sticking things on to photo frames, then getting a personalised frame is a great idea.

When you buy this frame online, you can choose from a choice of quotes that are laser etched across the top of the frame and then provide 2 lines of text that can be written underneath.

This was perfect for us as we could choose a quote that would be fitting for their friendship, but then put their names or something funny at the bottom - perfect memories for them both.

This particular best friends picture frame is also made from good quality wood.  We found that some of the other items we reviewed before buying looked quite cheap and nasty.  At least this one would look good on the wall as well as great standing on a desk or shelf.

The size was also a great selling point for us too - 8x10 inches is the perfect size.  We also opted to buy the additional gift box as we thought this added to the gift.

A great way of using multiple images of best friends is to make a collage featuring pictures from various different times and places.

We have access to pictures from when the girl were very young to their current ages, so putting them all together in a frame is a really great idea.

We found that there were frames available online that were designed to let you put different pictures in smaller frames to make the overall picture.

This frame features the word "Friends" and allows for 4 images to be put into 4x6 inch frames.  We though we could use each frame to show the girls together when they were younger and then move through the ages to now.  It would look really good!

The frame is plastic, which is good for hanging on the wall or putting on the desk.  At a total size of around 24 inches long, it would look really good where ever we put it in the house.  Perfect for hanging on the bedroom wall!

This cute frame fits the bill for a girls bedroom and we thought it would be the perfect gift as it ticks most of the boxes for a gift.

We could use multiple images as it holds a mixture of 10 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 inch pictures in a very elegant wooden picture frame shaped like hearts.

We also thought that the fact that the frame was black, that it would also fit well with most decor in their rooms.  Although it will not stand on a desk or shelf, the fact that it will be large enough to show many pictures of the friend together, would be a big selling point.

So, if you are looking for a cute picture frame (and what is cuter than hearts!) then this might be the best option for you to get.  The fact that you can put in multiple pictures is also a good selling point for us.

I hope that this list will be helpful to you if you are looking to get one of these frames for you or your family.

They really do make a great gift and look stunning where ever you put them in your house.  Of course, they provide you with great memories of your friends too, so they are never too far away from your thoughts, even if they are only a few key-presses away on your iPad or computer.
