Gifts for your wife she'll actually hang
The best gifts for a wife aren't the most expensive ones; they're the ones that show you know her. Art does that well, because you're choosing something for the home you share and saying something about the two of you.
Here's where to start, by the kind of story you want to tell.
By Marie, Kitsune Design Studio
Somewhere you went together
The honeymoon, the first trip, the weekend away where everything went wrong and you still laughed: a print of that place is a memory she can hang. Pick the city first, then a frame that suits the room it will live in.
Something a little romantic
Our matchbox prints are small love notes: "You're my flame", "Perfect match". They suit a bedroom, a dressing table or the wall by the coffee machine, and they're the kind of gift that makes her smile every morning.
For something bolder, a disco-ball rose or peony is romantic without being sweet.
Her dog, the other love of her life
If she has a dog, a portrait of the breed is a gift with no wrong answer. We have Samoyeds (each one carries a little of Yuki, Marie's own Samoyed), corgis, dachshunds, French bulldogs and more, some in sunglasses, some under a mirror ball.
Your story, painted
For a milestone anniversary, a commission is the one gift nobody else can give: the street where you met, the town where you married, the house you bought together, painted in this style.
Commissions take a few weeks, so plan ahead of the date.
How to give it
Framed and shipped is the easy option: choose a framed print, add a white mat for a gallery finish, and send it to your door or hers. For a surprise on the day, buy the download, print it at a local print shop and frame it yourself; it's ready the moment you pay.
Questions
- What is a meaningful gift for my wife?
- Something that shows you know her: art of a place you went together, a romantic print for the home you share, a portrait of her dog, or a custom piece of your story.
- What's a good anniversary gift that isn't jewellery?
- A framed print of the place you married or honeymooned, or a commissioned painting of a place from your story. It's for both of you and stays on the wall.
