40% OFF Bank Holiday Sale!
It’s that time of year again! The office buzzes with excitement, Christmas playlists sneak back into our ears, and the big question lands, what on earth do you get for your Secret Santa when the budget’s just £20?
Relax. You’ve got this. Let’s ditch the boring mugs and questionable chocolate selections. This year, let’s wow your giftee with a colourful, stylish, and genuinely thoughtful present … an art print!
At Happy Art Prints, there’s a treasure trove of fun and meaningful designs to suit just about anyone’s taste. From adorable kids’ prints to calming nature scenes and quirky pop culture designs, you’re sure to find something that screams “YOU nailed Secret Santa.”
Let’s unwrap five delightful gift ideas (complete with print suggestions), plus some cheeky tips and FAQs to make sure your gift game is strong.
Art prints are the ultimate win-win: they’re affordable and they look like you spent way more. With prices under £20, you can still give something that feels personal and stylish.
The right print can transform a space and show that you actually put thought into your gift. It’s the kind of present that stands out in a sea of novelty socks and scented candles.
You’re sticking to your budget like a pro, but that doesn’t mean your gift has to feel cheap. Art prints deliver big style for a little spend.
Whether your Secret Santa match is a plant parent, gamer, film buff, or quote collector, there’s an art print that fits their vibe.
With themed collections available, it’s easy to find something that speaks to their personality. A well-chosen print shows that you know them, or at least tried to. Plus, it’s way more memorable than a last-minute gift set.
Just think about what makes your giftee tick: are they into plants, cartoons, animals, gaming, or inspirational quotes? You’re covered.
Let’s be honest: some gifts are a pain to wrap.
Art prints? Not one of them.
They’re flat, lightweight, and slip into a festive envelope or gift bag with zero fuss. You can even get creative with your wrapping and make it look like something out of a Pinterest board. No awkward shapes or gift-wrapping gymnastics.
Slip into a nice envelope or pair it with a cute frame. Done.
The best gifts are the ones people actually keep and hang up.
Art prints have staying power, unlike some holiday presents that mysteriously end up ‘recycled’.
They add personality to any space and often become conversation starters. Your recipient will appreciate the upgrade to their wall, and you’ll earn top Secret Santa status.
No offence to bath bombs and socks, but an art print is actually something people want to hang up. It lasts way beyond the holidays.
Basically, you’re not just gifting art. You’re giving good vibes, a splash of personality, and a smile that goes on their wall.
Whether they’re into superheroes, lush landscapes, or motivational quotes, Happy Art Prints has a curated collection that speaks to them:
Is this going in a kid’s room, a chill home office, or maybe a shared flat? Pick something that fits the vibe. Neutral tones are safe. Bright colours? Go bold if they’re the artsy type.
Filter your search to stay under £20. Don’t forget to double-check shipping costs and whether the print comes framed or unframed. Sometimes these can help you stay in check.
We use high-quality paper and pigment inks, so your gift will look like it cost more than it did (wink).
Have a colleague or cousin with little ones? A print from the Kids collection is a sure win.
These are playful, colourful, and bring instant smiles. Also, adults who love gaming? They’ll secretly love this too.
Know someone who’s basically one with their houseplants? Give them peace and Pinterest aesthetics in print form.
Perfect for friends who meditate, journal, or just want to bring nature indoors without getting dirt everywhere.
For the giftee who still quotes movie lines or loves comic-book heroes, these prints are a nostalgic dream.
You can’t go wrong with fun and iconic.
Sometimes all someone needs is a little boost — on paper!
Ideal for workmates, students, or anyone who needs their walls to hype them up.
When you’re not quite sure what they like? Minimalist is the way to go.
These are clean, chic and go with pretty much any space. Your recipient will think you’re a design genius.
If you’re working with a tight budget, smaller prints can be just as impressive as larger ones.
A compact design can add charm and style to a shelf, desk, or gallery wall.
Plus, smaller sizes often come at a lower price point, allowing you to stay well within your £20 limit.
Consider pairing the print with a handwritten note or fun wrapping to make it feel extra special.
Unframed prints not only save money but also let your recipient personalise how they display it.
They can choose a frame that suits their taste or even use clips or washi tape for a more relaxed look.
If you’re feeling generous, you can add an inexpensive frame from a high street store and still stay under budget. Either way, the flexibility gives them room to get creative.
Presentation makes all the difference!
Even if you’re giving a small print, wrapping it beautifully will make it feel like a luxury gift. Try brown kraft paper, twine, or festive ribbons for a rustic vibe, or go colourful and quirky if your recipient loves bold design.
You can even decorate the package with stickers or a tag that says “Open me for instant joy!”
Shipping during the festive season can be a bit unpredictable, and the last thing you want is your Secret Santa gift arriving fashionably late.
Plan ahead and place your order as early as possible to give yourself a cushion. Keep an eye on the shop’s dispatch dates and consider faster shipping if you’re cutting it close.
Your future self (and your recipient) will thank you.
A heartfelt or humorous gift note can make all the difference.
It’s your chance to add a personal touch that makes the recipient feel seen and appreciated.
Whether you write something funny, thoughtful, or festive, that small message adds charm. If the website allows it, include it at checkout … if not, pop a handwritten card in with the print.

Hi, I’m artist Ben Cole and this is the story of Happy Art Prints. It started in 2019 when I decided to give away my paintings to help people who were suffering from the effects of being stuck in their homes in the Covid Lockdown. I painted a series of watercolour paintings featuring positivity quotes, and the response from that made me realise the power that art can have on people’s mental wellbeing.
