Looking for an original and unique confirmation present? Here are some beautifully crafted confirmation gifts to suit any age boy or girl. These boxed, framed and unframed crucifixes are the perfect confirmation gift for the special day. Complete with a personalised message these can be a religious but attractive keepsake of  a memorable event.
A similar Celtic cross to the one shown on driftwood would be £35.00 including first class UK postage. The corner tiles may vary on those I have in stock. I can produce them in any colour and design that you require. For orders outside of UK please ask for postage costs. You can buy a driftwood cross through the shopping cart and there are many other designs to see. Please email me if you would like to commission a cross set in a diorama box. A hand designed boxed cross in diorama frame is £55.00. These can be created in any colour scheme you require. One off designs such as sunset above start at £75.00.

When choosing your framed prayer, I  have written a truly original and unique Guardian Angel Prayer for the occasion which would be suitable for First Holy Communion, birth, baptism, confirmation or other event.

Choose one of the these three styles or ask me to design your own one off speciality.
I have a range of many colours of beads and jewels and can design you a unique cross with a painted design of your choice and can add a pin badge or item you require. Previous crosses have included diagonals in orange, white and green to represent the Ireland flag complete with Shamrock pin badge and another with a sky design with metal dove. Let me know what you would like, rainbow, sailing ship or any other item and I will design you your very own cross. As these crosses are slightly larger than the other ranges I suggest that you do not choose a long prayer.

Byzantine cross set on driftwood with corner tiles £35.00
