Frequently asked questions

What is a friendship sign?
A friendship sign is a personalised hanging plaque engraved with a quote or message that celebrates a friendship. They are typically given as gifts for birthdays, moving-away occasions, or significant milestones — a lasting keepsake that stays on a wall rather than being put in a drawer. Ours are laser-engraved on 4mm oak veneered MDF, hung with jute string, and personalised with whichever quote or message you choose.

What quotes are popular on friendship signs?
The most popular from our selection tend to be: "There are friends, there is family, and there are friends who become family" and "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." Both work well for long-standing friendships and for farewell or moving-away gifts.

Can I use completely different wording?
Yes — select option 11 and write your message in the personalisation box. The friendship motif stays at the top; any text beneath it is yours.

Which size works best as a gift?
Medium (155×115mm) is the most popular for most rooms. Large suits a more prominent wall display. Small works well alongside other items on a shelf or windowsill.

Is this suitable as a 5th wedding anniversary gift?
Wood is the traditional 5th anniversary material, so it works well for that occasion — particularly with a quote or message that reflects the couple's friendship as well as their relationship.
