Christmas Gifts for Her: Art Prints She Will Love
The best Christmas gifts for her are chosen around what she loves, not what women are supposed to want. Think about her garden, her cat, her favourite cocktail or a place you share, then choose an art print that reflects it. A personalised print makes the most personal gift of all, and a gift card is there if you are unsure.
Below: how to choose for your mum, wife, sister or best friend, Christmas gift ideas for her grouped by interest, and which size to give.

How to choose a print she will love
Art is personal, so start with her, not with the gift.
- Look at her home. Is it full of plants and warm wood, or calm and pale? Are there colours she always comes back to? Choose a print that would sit happily alongside what is already there.
- Look at what she loves. Her garden, her pets, the books by her bed, the drink she orders on a night out. One clear interest is the easiest way into a gift.
- Think about who she is to you. For your mum, something that connects to her life or your family. For your wife or partner, something only the two of you would understand. For a sister or best friend, something fun that makes her smile.
If you know her taste well, choose a print. If you do not, choose a theme she has told you about, or give her the choice with a gift card.
For the flower and garden lover
Florals are the classic Christmas gift for mum, and for good reason: they suit almost any room and they feel warm in the middle of winter. Look beyond plain flower prints to vintage-style patterns with birds and blooms, hummingbirds among peonies, sunflowers, or a pheasant among orchard fruit. Mexican folk-art flowers bring brighter colour for someone who loves pattern.
Vintage pattern prints suit period homes, cottages and anyone with a well-loved garden. Clean, simple botanicals suit modern flats. Browse our botanical prints for more.
For cat lovers, readers and cocktail fans
- Cat lovers: a black cat resting among wildflowers, a cat sitting in a bed of white daisies, a cat reading a book or one curled up in striped bedding. A lucky cat waving for good fortune is a cheerful choice for a kitchen. See our gifts for cat lovers.
- Book lovers: quiet reading prints suit a bedroom or a reading corner, and they make a lovely pair with a new book under the tree. Browse gifts for book lovers.
- Cocktail fans: a spritz, negroni or espresso martini print for the kitchen or home bar. Choose her favourite drink and you cannot go wrong.
- Something different: a tarot card print for the friend who loves a little mystery, or a bold Japanese tiger or panther for someone who likes drama on her walls.
Personalised prints for someone special
For your wife, girlfriend or mum, a personalised print is hard to beat because she cannot already own it. A star map shows the night sky over a place and date you choose, such as the night you met or the day a child was born. Map prints can mark the town where you met or the street where you first lived. Anniversary date prints keep it simple, with your names and the date that matters.
Each one is made with the names, dates or places you choose. See all personalised prints.
Which size to give
For most gifts, an A4 or A3 print is the right size. It is easy to wrap and it fits a shelf, a bedside wall or a kitchen without her having to rearrange a room. A4 prints from our main range are £16. Our A sizes fit standard off-the-shelf frames.
Choose an A2 print or larger for a statement piece when you know the wall, such as above her sofa or bed. If you are not sure of her style or her space, a digital gift card lets her choose from about 2,800 prints.
Every print is made to order on museum-grade matte paper and delivered worldwide. Order early for Christmas.
