8. Wall Displays

Has your loved one just moved into a new home, and they need to decorate? Bare walls are MADE for wall displays, so why not go all out? A wall display is essentially a collection of different prints grouped together as one single display.

Wall displays are one of the most thoughtful personalised Christmas gifts you could give, as they do require a little thought and coordination. However, by using our simple order template, you can see what your chosen images will look like placed together as a cohesive wall display. Forget having to measure individual prints, or having to check and re-check what you’ve ordered. With our template you can see the wall display configuration and know you’ve chosen correctly!

The best wall display images are chosen with a theme, colour scheme or style in mind to group them together. For instance, you might choose the beach as your theme and include a couple of family photos from the beach, a photo of your loved one’s dog at the beach and a seascape to set the scene. Alternatively, you could use different wedding photos. Or, you could use a variety of family photos tied together with a similar editing style or colour theme to maintain cohesiveness.

9. Collage Prints

The collage has been a popular art form for centuries. Get creative and create your own photo collage for a special gift! Your loved one will fully appreciate the effort that you put into creating this stand-alone art print. Hang collage prints in places where guests can examine both the up-close detail of a variety of smaller images while also appreciating the art piece from afar.

Like wall displays, collage prints are one of the most thoughtful personalised Christmas gifts but they do require some pre-planning. Use images that stick within a particular theme, or follow a visual style; like black and white images or images from the same setting or series.
