What do you do if you are looking for a gift for that special someone- be it a friend, parent or loved one who already has everything they need?
How do you make them feel special on their birthday or special occasion? Shopping for just the right birthday for friends, family and people you work with can be hard, but I’ve put together some possible ideas. I wrote a blog about this last year too, which also might help.
I’ve curated a list of some of the easiest and most thoughtful gifts that you might not have thought of.
Here is my list of the best ready-to-post gifts to send;
Personalised gifts
Personalised gifts are the best way to show thought and care, and each one is unique, which makes them even better. I have lots of pretty personalised gifts- from prints that can include the wording of your choice eg. names/song lyrics/dates etc to personalised recipe cards. Have a look by clicking on the pictures to see more.
Eco-friendly gifts
All of the products made by Mary’s House Designs AKA Angela are eco-friendly. It’s something that I really take pride in. Making sure that all of the items are sustainable, made from FSC paper and printed using eco-friendly inks means that the environmental impact of the products is minimal. You can see more here in my values if you would like to learn more.
Gifts for gardeners and flower lovers
There are so many gift ideas that would be suitable for a gardener or flower lover! You can see more in my collections including Patterned Pots, Floral Joy, Seasons, Daisy and Forget-me-not and my newest collections featuring Sunflowers and Bluebells. You can also click on the images below!
Gifts for nature lovers
Do you know someone who loves being out in nature? These images are filled with trees and patterns, and been made with mixed media and collage. These include images inspired by landscapes from imagination and memory, as well as places in the Peak District. This collection includes card sets and fine art prints. You can see more here.
Gifts for writers and stationery lovers
Since I started Mary’s House Designs, I knew I wanted to print on to beautiful card, so I have spent time selecting the most gorgeous card to print on. This makes these gifts ideal for lovers of stationery, cards and writing little notes! The card I use is gorgeously tactile, textured and really thick- it feels so luxurious and is great to write on. It’s made in the UK, in the Lake District too.
There are card packs, notecards, notebooks and correspondence sets amongst these gift ideas. Some of these can be personalised too, which makes them even more special!
Gifts for cooks
My teatowels make super gifts for a pretty kitchen and combined with these recipe cards (that can also be personalised) would be great for the cook in your life! See them all here!
Gifts for the home
I have a huge array of prints that are lovely for the home, and can be printed in a range of sizes, included mounted and unmounted ones. All of the prints are fine art prints, which mean they are archival quality- they are printed using pigmented inks and on high quality art paper. These won’t fade over time if they are framed and are signed and titled too.
As well as this you can purchase coasters ( I have limited colours left, but they’re still lovely), wash bags and teatowels too.
Sea related gifts
I have a beautiful collection of Seaweed inspired artwork, these designs were taken from watercolour paintings and include cards, prints, washbags and gift boxes, see more here.
Finally- I also have wrapping paper to make your gifts extra special!
