The Symbolism of Colour in Glass Gifts: What Different Shades Mean & How to Choose

  Friendship Balls are one of our most loved gifts – timeless, colourful, and full of meaning. But with so many sizes and colours available, how do you choose the right one? Start by thinking about the occasion. For birthdays and celebrations, our 10cm Friendship Balls are perfect keepsakes that can be hung by a window to catch the light. If you’re marking a bigger milestone, the 15cm Friendship Balls make a statement and work beautifully as a display piece. Next, consider the colour. Each has its own symbolism. Blues and greens create a sense of calm and peace, making them ideal for housewarmings or as a “thinking of you” gift. Bright shades of red, orange, and yellow bring warmth and energy, perfect for birthdays or congratulations. Soft pastels are often chosen for weddings or new baby gifts. Finally, think about the recipient’s personality. Do they love bold, striking décor? Go for a vibrant design that will stand out. Prefer something subtle? A more delicate or neutral tone will blend seamlessly into their home. Every Friendship Ball is unique, hand-crafted with swirls and patterns that make no two alike. That individuality is part of the magic — just like the friendships they represent. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, new home, or simply showing someone you care, a Friendship Ball is a gift that will be cherished for years to come. 👉 Explore the full Friendship Ball collection to find the perfect match.
