Yes, it really is that time of the year where we start hearing whispers of Christmas and preparing our presents. With time moving so fast these days, it’s a good idea to start organising your Christmas gift lists now to see where you can get ahead of yourself, spread out your budget and allow yourself some time to find that perfect gift.

When it comes to gift finding, it can all be a little overwhelming, that’s why a photo frame can make the best Christmas gift for anyone. With a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours to choose from, you’re sure to find something to suit everyone’s taste. To get you started, we’ve listed 5 simple steps on how to find the right photo frame gift for Christmas…

Know Your Secret Santa

Once you’ve figured out who you’re buying for, make a note of what you know about them:

what’s their favourite colours, the style of their home, where a photo frame could fit and what makes them smile. This will give you an idea of what type of photo frame to go for.

Do Your Research

Hampton Frames offers a huge variety in picture frames. Whether it’s a poster frame of your recipient’s favourite team, a photo box of a family holiday, or a multi-aperture frame for them to fill themselves. By getting to know who you’re buying for, you can pick the best photo gift.

Capture Their Interests

You’ve still got a little time, so start paying attention to the things they talk about such as the holidays they reminisce about, the quotes they live by, stories of happy memories or changes they want to make to their home. By picking up on these comments and choosing a photo frame that reflects their interests, you can really customise your photo gifts and show how much you care.

Snap Up Special Occasions

Perhaps you have some happy events like birthdays, weddings or christening before the festive season arrives. Plan to get a great photo which you can print and frame. Or head back in time and dig out an old photo of a family member or occasion you know will bring a smile to their face. It’s a cost-effective way to share something personal.

Think Inside the Frame

Once you’ve found the right photo frame, you don’t necessarily need to put a photo in it! Leave it empty for the recipient to fill themselves or pop in something unique such as a piece of art, a postcard, or a quote to create a funny photo gift.
