Holiday Gift Ideas

The holiday season has arrived and we are so excited to get festive. It’s fun to enjoy holiday parties, events, food, and more, but with the excitement of the season comes a growing list of friends and family to shop for. If you’re at a loss for gift ideas this year, we’ve got you covered with our top gift ideas so you can get inspired for all of your upcoming holiday shopping. Make sure to order your gifts by Monday, 12/5 to receive them before Christmas!

#1: Framed Photo

The thing about photos is that they’re taken frequently but a lot of the time are forgotten when it comes to actually printing them out and hanging them up. It’s one of those, “I’ll get around to it” tasks that a lot of the time don’t end up getting done. A sweet and sentimental gift idea is to get one of those photos framed! Give them a memory they won’t forget by creating a custom frame to showcase it. You can directly upload the photo into our Custom Frame Builder to see exactly what it will look like with different frame and mat combinations. It’s a gift that’s guaranteed to make them smile every time they see it. 

#2: Framed Memento

If you don’t want to frame a photo but still want to give them something special and sentimental, try framing a memento or another special item instead! This creates such a thoughtful gift that they’ll appreciate and enjoy. Here are a few of our favorite, unique items to frame:

• A map from a trip you took together or place that means something to you
• An album cover of their favorite band or singer
• Concert tickets from a special show
• Handwritten family recipes that are sentimental and filled with memories (this is especially great for the holidays!)

#3: Blank Frame

If you’re shopping for a home-decor lover, this is the way to go. Create a beautiful, unique frame that they’ll appreciate and use to their heart’s content throughout their home by gifting them a blank frame. This way, they are able to add whatever they’d like inside whether it be art, photos, different mementos, and more. You even can build a holiday-looking frame (don’t be afraid to use festive mat colors or a metallic frame!) that they are able to break out every time the season rolls around. Important to note: you are able to order a frame by itself or a frame with a mat, so depending on what you think your giftee will use can help you decide. 

#4: Framed and Matted Gift Card

If you’re not totally sure what they’d like, or if you just want to let them take the reins on this one, a Framed and Matted gift card is one of our favorite gift ideas! Our gift cards are digital making them a great last-minute gift if you’re in a pinch. They can use their gift cards at any time (they never expire) giving them the ability to shop with their gift card now or save it for a home project later down the road. Shop gift cards here!
