Nautical gifts for him
For a man who watches boats from the harbour wall, choose a boat with some character. Homeward Wake, a launch carving a white wake, and Under Sail, two classic yachts under full sail, are the bolder pieces. There's more on our sailing gifts for men page.
Nautical gifts for her
A calm scene suits a bedroom or a reading corner. At Anchor shows a white yacht on still water. In The Quiet Berth, a cruiser waits on a still estuary. Both come as posters, framed prints, canvas, metal and wood.
If she keeps a cottage or a beach hut, choose the print for that room. Calm water and soft colours suit a small space better than a busy scene.
Coastal and beach gifts for the home
Coastal homes suit soft greens and blues. Our coastal prints of coves, harbours and shingle beaches share a calm palette of greens, blues, ivory and ochre, so two or three hang well together. Our print sizes guide explains how to plan a pair or a small gallery wall.
A pair works well when the two pictures face each other. At Anchor and The Quiet Berth are both calm scenes with wide, still water. Under Sail and Homeward Wake have more movement, for a hallway or a stairwell.
Choose the format by the room. A framed poster suits a study or a bedroom. Canvas softens a large living-room wall. Metal gives crisp colour in a modern kitchen or an office.
Lighthouse gifts
Our eight lighthouse prints run from calm towers on a headland to a stone light in a storm. Harbour Light and Pier End suit a seaside home; Night Watch suits a darker wall.
For a lighthouse lover, a visit makes a memorable present too. Six lighthouses run by Trinity House are open to visitors, with guided tours. Portland Bill, South Stack and Southwold are among them.
Check opening times on the Trinity House page before you plan the trip. Pair the visit with a print of calm water for a gift that lasts after the day out.
