Need it today? Every print can be a digital download that arrives instantly (from £9.99), so you can print it at home or at a local print shop the same day, with a free preview first. Framed and unframed prints are posted (3-5 working days in the UK), so they suit buyers with a little more time.
Digital gifts get a mixed reputation because many of them feel generic. Word art is different: the words are yours, so the finished piece says something only you could say. You can browse the full range in our hobbies and interests collection, with over 470 designs across the shop.

Why are digital gifts worth giving?
A digital gift removes the usual worries: no postage, no waiting, no missed deliveries. You design it, download it and it is ready. For a birthday you have remembered late, a surprise for someone far away, or a gift where you want to choose your own frame, it is hard to beat.
The key is making sure it does not feel like an afterthought. A word art print solves that, because it is built from the recipient’s own details. Print it on good paper, pop it in a frame, and it looks every bit as considered as something bought weeks ago. If you want a physical version, the same designs come as unframed prints from £9.99 and framed prints from £22.99 (A4) or £30.99 (A3).
What digital gift suits someone who loves wine?
For a wine drinker, the Personalised Wine Lover Word Art Print (£9.99) is a lovely fit. The design is shaped like a glass of wine, filled with words you choose. It suits a host who is always opening a bottle for friends, or a couple with a favourite vineyard story.
If you prefer a different style, the Word art print of a glass wine gift (£9.99) is another way to capture the same theme. Put in the grape varieties they love, the places you have visited together, or the names of the friends who gather round their table.
What is a good digital gift for a celebration?
The Personalised Champagne Word Art Print (£9.99) is made for toasts and milestones. It works well for an engagement, a wedding anniversary, a promotion or a big birthday. Fill it with the date, the names of the people involved and the words that sum up the occasion.
It also pairs neatly with a real bottle: hand over the printed gift alongside something to open, and the whole thing feels planned. For anniversary-specific ideas, see our guide to the anniversary word art print.
What can I give a gin lover?
The Personalised Gin Lover Word Art Print (£9.99) suits anyone with a drinks trolley and strong opinions about garnish. It is a fun gift for a home bar, a kitchen wall or a garden room. Add their favourite botanicals, the names of the friends they share a G&T with, and a joke or two that only your group will understand.
What digital gift works for a new home?
For a housewarming, the Personalised House Word Art Print (£9.99) is a thoughtful choice. The words fill the shape of a house, so you can include the names of everyone who lives there, the street, the year they moved in and the things that make it home. It is a gift that suits first-time buyers, a family move or a couple settling in together.
What is a meaningful digital gift for someone special?
The Personalised Star Word Art Print is not in our range, but the Personalised Star Word Art Print (£9.99) is, and it is a good fit for a “you are my star” message. It suits a teacher who has gone above and beyond, a child who has had a brilliant year, or a friend who has been a bright spot in a hard few months.
The Word art print of a Rose (£9.99) is a classic for a partner, a mum or a grandmother. For more on the emotional side of word art gifts, read how word art shows loved ones how important they are.
What if they have a hobby, a pet or a faith?
Personal interests make the best word art, because the words come easily. A few real options from the range:
- The Digital Camera word art print (£9.99) suits a keen photographer. Fill it with places they have shot, lens names and the moments they are proudest of.
- The Personalised Chinese Shar-Pei word art gift (£9.99) is for a devoted dog owner. Use their dog’s name, quirks and favourite walks. Our range covers 130+ dog breeds, so there is likely a match for their pet.
- The Personalised Camel Word Art Print (£9.99) suits a traveller, or anyone with fond memories of desert holidays.
- The Personalised Thistle Word Art Print (£9.99) is a lovely nod to Scottish heritage, family roots or a favourite Highland trip.
- The Religious Cross word art print (£9.99) can hold favourite verses, the names of family and words of blessing, which makes it a meaningful gift for a christening, confirmation or anniversary of faith.

What words should I put on a digital gift print?
This is where a personalised print earns its place. The best word art uses specific, real details rather than generic phrases. Aim for roughly 15 to 30 words and mix names, places, dates and qualities. Here are three example lists you can adapt.
For a housewarming
- Names of everyone who lives there
- The street or village
- The year they moved in
- “Home”, “welcome”, “family”, “laughter”
- The thing they were most excited about, such as “garden”, “kitchen” or “first dinner party”
For a wine or gin lover
- Their favourite drink and the places you first tried it
- The friends who join them for a glass
- A running joke from a shared night out
- “Cheers”, “friends”, “Friday”, “good company”
- The year you first met, or the date of their birthday
For someone special
- Their name and yours
- Three qualities you admire, such as “kind”, “funny”, “brave”
- A date that matters to you both
- A place you love going together
- One phrase they say all the time

Frequently asked questions
What are digital gifts?
Digital gifts are presents delivered as a file or link rather than a parcel. With a personalised word art print, you design it with your own words, then download it instantly and print it yourself or send the file on.
Can I see my word art before I buy?
Yes. Every print comes with a free preview, so you can check the words and layout before you commit. Nothing is bought until you are happy with how it looks.
How quickly will I receive a digital download?
The digital download is instant. Once you have designed your print you can download the file straight away, which makes it ideal if you have left a gift until the last minute.
How do I print a digital download?
You can print it at home or take the file to a local print shop, which can often print it the same day. Choosing a good-quality paper and a standard frame size makes it feel like a proper gift.
What if I want a physical gift instead?
The same designs are available as unframed prints from £9.99 and framed prints (A4 from £22.99, A3 from £30.99). Framed prints ship within 3-5 working days in the UK, so they suit buyers who have a little time.
What words should I put on a personalised print?
Use words that mean something to the person: names, dates, places, shared memories and the qualities you admire in them. A short list of 15 to 30 words usually looks best.
