The season of giving has a wall-shaped answer. Art is the rare gift that is personal without being presumptuous — ten people on your list, solved in ten frames.

1. The one who is always mid-chapter
The Tea and Books linocut — “brew tea, read on” — is the reading corner they already live in, framed. More in gifts for book lovers.
For the reader: the book nook wall, ready to gift print by print.
2. The cat person
The art nouveau Black Cat and Iris is elegant enough for the living room and feline enough to be understood. The whole cat lovers collection purrs behind it.
For the cat person: the cat lover’s wall.
3. The dog person
A dachshund in couture — the fashion dog series is the rare dog gift that is also good art. See gifts for dog lovers.
For the dog person: couture on four legs.
4. The home cook
The La Dolce Vita lemon print hangs sunshine over the stove; the Italian kitchen wall is the full-course version.
For the home cook: la dolce vita, framed.
5. The one who counts down to the first snow report
The Ski Nº16 vintage poster — the first print this gallery ever sold, and still the one skiers recognise on sight. The ski & winter sports collection covers the whole mountain.
For the skier: the chalet wall, one poster at a time.
6. The tennis player
The retro Tennis Court illustration for the den or office — and the rest of the tennis collection for doubles.
For the tennis player: game, set, wall.
7. The music lover
The Vinyl Record Listener in art deco burgundy is for the friend whose records are alphabetised. More in gifts for music lovers.
8. The brand-new parents
Soft folk animals for the smallest wall in the house: the Otter and friends from the nursery animal wall arrive ready to be loved for years.
For the new parents: soft animals, hung low.
9. The traveller between trips
The Amalfi travel poster keeps the next holiday on the wall in the meantime; the travel poster collection has every other destination.
For the traveller: Amalfi until the next flight.
10. The one who has everything
They do not have a 70×100. One oversized statement — the Terracotta Reclining Woman, say — outgifts a dozen small things. Or go one better: compose them a whole wall in the Wall Designer and give the room, not the print.
For the one who has everything: go 70×100.
How to give art well
Two practical notes. Unframed is the safest gift: a print in a standard size (50×70 fits frames everywhere) rolls into a tube, travels well, and lets them choose the frame — or add one of our wooden frames and give it hang-ready. Order with the calendar in mind: production takes 2–5 business days at the studio nearest the recipient, so early December is the comfortable window for gifts that need to be under the tree.

Frequently asked questions
Is an art print a good gift?
Art is personal without being presumptuous: it says you know their taste, their rooms and their obsessions. An unframed print in a standard size is easy to wrap, easy to ship, and lets the recipient choose the frame — or add a wooden frame to give it hang-ready.
What size art print should I give as a gift?
50×70 cm is the sweet spot: large enough to feel generous, standard enough to fit off-the-shelf frames everywhere. For a statement gift, go 70×100; for stocking-scale, A4 or 30×40.
What sizes do these prints come in?
Every design comes in 12 sizes, from A4 up to 70×100 cm, in both centimetre and inch formats — and all designs share the same size system, so any combination hangs together as a coherent set.
Where are the prints produced?
Each order is printed at the studio closest to you — in the EU, the UK, the USA, Canada or Australia — on 200 gsm archival matte paper. Production typically takes 2–5 business days, and all orders come with 30-day returns.
NoirPixelGallery is an independent art print gallery. Museum-quality giclée prints on 200 gsm archival matte paper, optional wooden frames and passepartouts, printed locally in the EU, UK and USA.
