4" x 6" Bamboo Photo Frame and Clock*
The 4" x 6" Bamboo Photo Frame and Clock is an eco-friendly desk piece that looks at home on a desktop, a credenza, a bedside table or a bookshelf. The frame is completely natural bamboo, so the grain runs differently through every one, and a manual clock set into the face keeps time beside the photograph. At 7.25"W x 7.625"H x .5"D it takes up about as much room as a paperback standing on end.
What it holds is a single unique moment in time with a loved one, or simply a favorite photograph, and the warmth of the bamboo does something a metal or acrylic frame cannot. Natural wood next to a face makes the picture feel remembered rather than displayed. Because the clock is right there in the same frame, the piece earns a place where people actually look at it several times a day instead of a shelf they walk past.
Then there is the engraving, which is what separates this from a frame anyone could buy. Up to three lines of 18 characters each are engraved in-house by HansonEllis, so you can put a candid expression from the heart under the photograph and turn the gift into something only one person could have been given. Two names and a date. A line a grandfather always said. A company name and a year of service. A bride's and groom's names engraved on the bamboo make it an ideal wedding favor, and guests keep a favor they can put a photograph into.
It suits most eco-friendly events as a parting gift, and the list of them is long: wedding receptions, birthday parties, baby and bridal showers, anniversary dinners, retirements and general get-togethers. Guests are delighted to receive a favor that is this simple and still feels elaborate. Away from events it does the same work as a gift to one person, for a mother, a father, a graduate or a friend who has a desk and a photograph they have never framed.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give them the photograph and the time in one.

Which one should I choose
A frame given as a gift lives or dies on two questions: does it look like real material, and does it say something only you could have written.
| 4" x 6" Bamboo Photo Frame and Clock | Choose it when you want the eco-friendly option and a piece that does two jobs, with up to three engraved lines on completely natural bamboo. |
|---|---|
| A plain photo frame | Choose it when the photograph is the whole gift and nothing on the frame needs to say who it is for. |
| A desk clock on its own | Choose it when the recipient wants the time and nothing else, with no photograph to display beside it. |
For a wedding favor or a desk gift, the bamboo frame that keeps time and carries an engraved line is the one that stays out on view.
