As we get further into December, Christmas is creeping closer and closer. But don’t panic, finding a personal and unique gift doesn’t need to be difficult.
Original art, whether fine art prints or original paintings on canvas, makes an incredible gift for a loved one.
Here are 4 reasons why printed art makes the most meaningful gift.
1. It’s a Keepsake
Fashion trends and seasonal items come and go, but an original fine art print is a gift someone would cherish for years to come.
Not only will the framed printed art hang proudly in their home, but being gifted such an exquisite piece would build a fond memory that would be forever appreciated and become a special talking point to whoever viewed the piece.
If you’re new to purchasing prints, read the beginners guide to collecting art prints for more information on the next steps.
2. The Potential for Value Growth
Fine art prints that are of the highest quality can last for eternity if cared for in the correct way. Over time, depending on the scarcity, an artist's fame and market influence, the print can increase in value.
Gifting a print like this isn’t just thoughtful; it can be seen as an investment in someone’s future, and that is a priceless gift!
For anyone considering a gift like this, our art experts would recommend viewing the Banksy print collection or our Signature collection.
3. It’s Seen as Personal
Limited edition fine art prints tell a different story from mass-mark reproductions. Artists like Delphine Lebourgeois and Daniel Remer, who both have fine art prints hanging in Hancock Gallery, tell a unique story that can’t be replicated from mass-produced prints.
The exclusivity of a personal fine art print reveals that you know the recipient on a deeper level. Gifting something so special can signify love or friendship - and that’s what Christmas is all about.

4. It Supports Local Community
If you or the art lover you’re gift shopping for is local to the North East, purchasing from artists like Mul Draws (Instagram: mul_draws) and Sam Wood (Instagram: samwoodartist) is a great way to support the local art community and give a personal gift.
By supporting the local creative ecosystem, you’re also paying tribute to the recipient’s own home roots—whether they live 10 minutes from Newcastle City Centre or 100 miles away.
A fine art print is one of the most unique gifts you can get for a loved one this Christmas.
