Plan your budget -
To begin, this is probably a good time to figure out who it is you are buying for? A good place to start would be browsing through pages like gifts for him and her or kids. It can be wise to think about your budget before you start looking for the perfect present. This helps you to give a basis to work from and make sure you don't break the bank. Consider looking at price ranges like £15 and under or if you're looking to spend a bit more why not check out our Editions.
Consider their space -
It's important to think about the space in which this print will be going, taking into consideration the existing decor. If this is going in their bedroom, think about what other artwork they may have or what colour furniture they have. If you are looking to gift a print for their kitchen think about how much space they have available to determine what size would work best.
Consider their colour palette and style -
After you have considered their space you can get in to personalising their gift, really thinking about their colour palette and preferred style. Maybe they like bold, pink abstract art or motivational typography, or maybe they like neutral, black and white photography. This is really the time for you to show how much you know this person ensuring you gift them as thoughtful of a gift as possible.
Consider their interests -
Similarly to their colour palette and style there are a lot of artworks centred around different interests and subject matters. It could be that the person you are buying for loves film and tv, in this case look for artworks centred around this. It could be that you bonded with this person over a favourite drink or a certain city; don't be afraid to really personalise this element.
Consider adding a frame -
One of the best ways to really solidify a present is by adding a frame - this can act as a further reflection of your care and consideration. It can also add to the personalisation of the print; considering the existing decor and colour schemes.
In conclusion, it can be very daunting when Christmas rolls in, especially when you want to get a gift for someone that truly reflects their importance to you. Taking the time to prepare and think deeply about your loved one should make the whole process easier for you.
