I think most people can agree, there's too much plastic crap out there, especially when it comes to kids' toys. If you are like me and you really strive to give presents that won't eventually end up in a landfill or under a couch collecting dust, this is the perfect gift for kids and babies.
Whether you're shopping for your niece or nephew, your friends baby, your grandkids, you really can't go wrong giving a keepsake piece of art
My custom birth print features the child's names, birth place and birthdate and is fully customizable with over 15 centre designs to choose from, 4 different font options and 5 borders to choose from. And if you're having trouble deciding, I can choose for you!
I personally gave my niece and nephews each one and my sister said my niece says goodnight to the flowers every time she goes to bed.

Is your dad a nature lover? Does he love to spend time in the forest?
Or if not, is his presence as large as the mighty oak tree?
The oak tree is known as the Father of the Woods. So this obviously is a no-brainer gift for the father of your family wink wink.
Or is your dad an expert gardener who is always giving tours of his flowers?
You know where I’m going with this…

Raise your hand if you're continually thinking, what the heck do I get my mom? I will tell you. A beautiful print of flowers. Chances are, she doesn't have one and she will be touched.
Or what about giving your mom a birth flower print for each of her kids?
BTW let me plant the seed now for Mother’s Day because if you’re not into this idea for the holidays…this is an excellent gift for Mother’s Day.
GIVE YOUR MOM HER FLOWERS
You know those people who celebrate their birthday for like a whole month? Those people who always make sure you know it’s their birthday? Give them a birth flower print. Yes, this makes more sense as a birthday present BUT I also think it would be an awesome end of year gift, especially if this years birthday was a milestone one.

Ok, this one might be super niche but in the off chance you have someone on your list named Susan...here's the gift you'll want to give.
I have 4 different Black-eyed Susan prints in store.
Three are black and white and one is colour.
Black-eyed Susan's represent justice, encouragement and motivation. They are one of the first flowers to bloom after an area has been devastated by forest fires and they are one of the last flowers to remain before winter comes.

Again, this is niche...but did you know the cosmos flower is said to be a symbolic bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. It is believed to attract positive energy. Indigenous peoples saw the cosmos as a sacred bridge between the terrestrial and the divine. It was a conduit through which messages, blessings, and prayers could traverse and were often used for ceremonies which honour the dead.
Do you have a friend or loved one who is super into woo woo shit and you're like, what the heck do I get them?! Give them a cosmos print and in the card you can write the above symbolism.
You could even add a crystal to the gift...cosmos and crystals has a nice ring to it!

Let's chat about the home cook in your life. That person who loooooves to be in the kitchen. Who is always hosting and making delicious food. My herb prints make a great gift for this person.
There are 14 popular herb prints to choose from including my new Herbes de Provence botanical print, as seen in Elle Canada!
You could even pair the print with a cute tea towel.
Oh! What about wrapping the gift in a tea towel???

Do you have a person in your life who loves colour? Loves home decor and art? Is a bit of a maximalist-more-is-better type of person? My floral prints are the thing for them. Do you know their favourite colour?

Do you have a person in your life who loves simple design? Less is more?
Are they also an art collector?
My prints fall under the modern minimalist simple category, especially if you frame them with a white mat and simple frame.
