Holiday Gift Guide: Framed Gifts They’ll Treasure Forever

The best gifts don’t just fill a box; they fill the heart. This holiday season, skip the generic and give something with lasting meaning. Whether it’s a memory, a piece of art, or a one-of-a-kind moment, custom-framed gifts bring joy long after the wrapping paper is gone.

From sentimental keepsakes to stylish home updates, here are our favorite framing gift ideas to help you make the season extra special.

Frame the Moment

Photos are powerful and framing them turns everyday images into lasting treasures.

• Frame a favorite family photo, a vacation snapshot, or a milestone memory.

•Turn their Instagram-worthy moments into custom prints and pair them with a handcrafted frame.

•Choose a finish that fits the season, like gold, black, or warm natural wood.

•Add a personal touch by including a handwritten note or a story behind the photo. Select a mat color that complements their space for an extra thoughtful detail.

For the Sentimental Gift Giver:

For those who love to give gifts with their heart, framed keepsakes are perfect.

•Frame a child’s drawing, a handwritten recipe passed down through generations, or a piece of wedding stationery.

•Create a memory frame with mementos like concert tickets, pressed flowers, or travel postcards.

•Frame a beloved pet portrait or custom illustration.

•Make it even more meaningful by adding a heartfelt message on the back of the frame. It's a small touch that turns a thoughtful gift into a lasting keepsake.

For the Home Décor Lover

Looking for something stylish that elevates their space? Give the gift of beautiful design.

•Curate a gallery wall with multiple matching or coordinating frames.

•Choose trend-forward styles like rustic, sleek modern black, or antique gold finishes.

•Not sure what matches their style? Neutral tones and natural finishes are timeless. You can also mix frame sizes to create a dynamic display they’ll love.

Running out of time? These thoughtful gifts still feel personal without stress.

•Send a Pictureframes.com gift card and let them create their own custom frame or print.

•Use our Print & Frame service to upload a digital image and have it professionally printed and framed, all in one place.

Add the Finishing Touch
