Amanda you have had some great suggestions here and to have something framed is expensive also here  ...

Good Luck.

Oh dear, there are so many ways to finish your work, especially little ones, that I hated to hear this would be your first and last project!  I love little pincushions, and often just sew them into a little pillow.  They look charming in little baskets, or hanging off a hook with a little ribbon hanger.  Whenever I start a few project, the first thing I decide is how it will be finished, and make it to fit a standard size frame, if framing.  I also look at thrift stores for frames, as with a can of paint, they can be perfectly matched.  I have even painted mat board to match.  Yes, professional work is pricey, so it has to be considered when gift giving.
I have even made fabric covered frames which are just as nice. I have framed pieces without glass that are over 20 years old that only need occasional vacuuming.  They look as good as new.  I hope you show us the finished piece soon!

Great ideas in this post.  I never even thought of framing my pieces by myself.
