Stuck on fresh ideas for those tricky relatives, high-maintenance best friend or significant other with left-field tastes? To help you decide, we’ve selected our favourite products featuring Bridgeman licensed images – but you may end up adding a few to your own Christmas list…
For: the house-proud home-maker
Lucy Innes Williams- Manager of Contemporary artists and Copyright; Art.com print. Peony Specimens, 2011, Rachel Pedder-Smith
‘This Christmas I will be buying my cousin, who has moved into her first London apartment, this giclee print from art.com. This composite of flower petals and seeds by Bridgeman Studio Artist Rachel Pedder-Smith is a classic watercolour with a contemporary, almost graphic twist. It will fit with her colour scheme beautifully and suits the vibe of a mid-20s city girl whose heart belongs in the country!’
For: the lady in your life
Georgina Angless- Account Manager, London; Crabtree & Evelyn fragrance
‘Fragrance is a distinctive and personal gift that often brings back memories of a person you are close to, long after they have left the room. As a heritage brand and a family run business, Crabtree and Evelyn are quintessentially British and tie all thoughts of home together. I think this is an ideal gift for my granny this Christmas.’
For: the history buff
John Moelwyn-Hughes- Account Manager, London; Napoleon after his Abdication by Hippolyte (Paul) Delaroche, Illustration within Bernard Cornwell’s book on Waterloo
‘With the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo in 2015 it is perhaps unsurprising that a plethora of new books on the battle have appeared ahead of its bicentenary year. Bernard Cornwell is the author of the successful Sharpe series and his book Waterloo: The History of Four Days, Three Armies and Three Battles is beautifully illustrated. It will be a wonderful present in hardback for my brother-in-law.’
For: the art loving cook
Wendy Zieger – Senior Account Manager, New York; Irises, 1889 round cheeseboard from Zazzle.com
‘I really like this cheese board. It’s a great size and who doesn’t love Van Gogh’s Irises?’
For: the ethical shopper
Leslie Wong, Junior Account Manager, New York; Christmas Robins Tote Bag from Bag Edge
‘For the eco-friendly holiday shopper, this tote from Bag Edge combines functionality with an adorable holiday theme!’
For: the technology and design geek
