Block Shop Textiles
Block Shop Textiles’ gorgeous, graphic woodblock paper prints prints may not cure wanderlust, but they can provide a quick fix.

And the result is the epitome of multicultural cool.

We’ve long been fans of Hamish Robertson’s photographic prints and their fresh perspective on untouched natural beauty and small town scenes. His quiet observations have the power to make the viewer pause, reflect and appreciate what is truly beautiful around them.

If their style is chic and cinematic:
Kate Holstein
Celebrate a favorite place (from Panama to the Yukon) or pastime (especially if it’s in the water) with Kate Holstein’s stunning, limited edition prints. Kate is a bonafide globetrotter who splits her time between the snowcapped peaks of Aspen and the beaches of St. Barth, and her love of scenic splendor and soaring skylines shows in her work.

If their style is fun and irreverent:
CDR
Fine art doesn’t have to be serious, and no one proves that like illustrator Christopher David Ryan. Show your funniest friend how much you value their sense of humor with art designed to draw a smile.

If their style is minimalist and Cali-cool:
Max Wanger
Muted colors and negative space lend a hip, laidback vibe to Max Wanger’s West Coast-inspired prints. They’re perfect hung near an open window, or above a fireplace that never needs to be lit. Give one to someone whose casual, clean style you admire.

Consider Ashley Woodson Bailey’s lush, vibrant “floragraphy” prints the custom framed art equivalent of a fragrant bouquet—and what hostess doesn’t love to receive fresh-cut blooms?

If their style is colorful and sentimental:
Rifle Paper Co.
They’re pretty and colorful, sure—but what makes Rifle Paper Co. prints so great for gifting is how personal and specific they feel. Shop dozens of favorite cities, historical figures, popular sayings and quotes, and more until you find one that fits your lucky someone to a T.
