Christmas Gift Ideas

Posted by Union Art 02/11/2011 0 Comment(s) Art News,

Finding that special Christmas gift can seem more and more difficult each year.

Art is a fantastic gift for Christmas and it may not be as expensive as you think. You can buy artwork from as little as £9! There is also a wide variety of choice of art out there from Open Edition Prints, Limited Edition Prints, Photography, Sculpture and Original pieces of art. You will normally find the biggest choice and the best prices online which has the added benefit of being able to shop from the comfort of your home.

A piece of art can make a really special gift for that special person! It's something that can be enjoyed for years to come, it can transform a room in seconds and could be an investment for the future!

Start by thinking about their style and favourite colours then consider their favourite holiday destination or hobby. Here are some further categories you could investigate:

For Him: Sport, Seascapes, Automobiles, Humour

For Her: Floral, Figurative, Contemporary

For Parents: Travel, Seascapes, Landscapes, Animals

For Brother: Contemporary, Photography, Urban

For Sister: Floral, Contemporary, Animals

For Grandparents: Seascapes, Landscapes, Humour, Traditional

Affordable Gift Ideas

Have a look at Pam Carter's fantastic Limited Edition Prints, gorgeous Scottish landscapes of beaches and the countryside provide a burst of colour at Christmas time and remain at affordable prices. John Lowrie Morrison or JoLoMo as he is also known is one of the UK's top selling artists and like Pam Carter is inspired by the Scottish countryside. If his Limited Edition Prints are over your budget then don't worry as he also has a range of Open Edition Prints at great prices. If you have a super cool relation or friend to buy for check out the uber contemporary artist Mark Allin. His work features the classic icons in a fresh and modern way, colourful and stylish these will be a winner!

Parents and Grandparents, I think, are always the hardest people to buy for, they normally have everything they need! Well why not look at the work of Peter Brook RBA, his traditional landscapes of the vast Yorkshire countryside reflect the history and beauty with the added touch of humour! A stunning photograph can also make an excellent gift. For breath taking imagery take a look at the photographers Marc Wilson and Alan Bedding.
