Christmas Gift Guide 2026: Vintage Art Prints Under £20 for Every Personality
A print is one of the few presents that says “I know exactly what you’re into” without costing a fortune. Below are 27 of our prints, sorted by the kind of person you’re buying for, from the friend who reads by candlelight to the one who talks to their houseplants.
We’ve been making these prints in Manchester since 2014. Every one is A4, costs £15.50 and is printed on vintage-style paper we make ourselves. Delivery is free anywhere in the UK, and when you buy two prints, the third is free.

Make it a set: buy 2, get a 3rd free
Three A4 prints make a small gallery wall, and the third one is on us, so a set of three costs £31 with free UK delivery. The discount comes off automatically at checkout and works on any three prints. A few sets that look good together:
- Norse set: Fenrir Wolf, Yggdrasil World Tree, Freya with Sword and Cats
- Dark academia set: Crow Reading a Book, Thinking Skeleton with Candle, Two Human Skulls
- Witchy set: Hecate, Winged Lilith, As Above, So Below
- Garden set: Tulip in an Urn, Hydrangea, Prickly Pear Cactus
How to frame an A4 print
Our prints are A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) and come unframed, so they fit any standard A4 frame. For more of a gallery look, use a 30 × 40 cm frame with a mount cut for A4. Warm wood and black frames both suit the aged look of the paper; we photograph ours in a dark wood frame. In the US, an 11 × 14 inch frame with a mount cut for A4 works well.
Not sure about their taste in frames? Give the print on its own. It arrives flat in a rigid mailer, so it’s easy to wrap, and they can choose a frame that suits their home.
