The Perfect Gift: Have It Framed Gift Cards

Hi everyone, Grahame here from the workshop.

As we approach the festive season, I can feel the excitement—and a touch of panic—setting in. Edinburgh is looking absolutely stunning with the twinkling lights, but if you’re anything like me, you might still have a name or two on your gift list causing a bit of a headache.

In our workshop, we see it all the time. You want to give someone the gift of art—perhaps restoring an old family photo, framing a cherished degree, or finally getting that limited edition print out of the tube and onto the wall. But framing is personal. Trying to guess whether your Auntie would prefer a sleek black aluminium frame or a classic oak moulding can be a tricky business!

That’s precisely why we have moved away from our own internal vouchers to support the Scotland Loves Local Edinburgh Gift Card.

The Gift of Choice (With a Local Heart)

We want to ensure you can give a thoughtful, personal gift while supporting the high street we all love. By choosing the Edinburgh Gift Card, you aren't just giving a monetary value; you are giving your loved one the "run of the city," including a bespoke session with us here at Have it Framed.

Why It’s a Brilliant Option This Christmas

• Total Flexibility: The card works like a Mastercard and can be used for any of our services. Whether they need to flatten a "curly" Giclée print , mount war medals in the correct Order of Precedence, or upgrade to our new standard Artglass UV 99 for 99% protection against fading, this card covers it all.

  
  

• Support for Edinburgh: When you use this card at an independent, family-run shop like ours, the money stays right here in the local economy, supporting real people and local craft.

• No "Robot" Processing: While you buy the card through the central Town & City Gift Cards website, when your recipient brings it to us, they get the human touch. We treat every customer like a person, not a number.

  
  

• Digital or Physical: You can have a physical card sent by post, or if you've left it to the very last minute, a digital version can be sent straight to a smartphone wallet.

Give the Magic of Art and Experience

When your recipient comes to redeem their Edinburgh Gift Card with us, they’ll sit down for a proper consultation. We’ll look at their artwork together and discuss how to keep it safe in "Normal Conditions"—away from direct sunlight and dampness. We’ll help them design something that looks stunning and preserves their memories for decades.

How to Buy

It couldn't be simpler to support local this year:

1. Visit the Official Site: Head over to the Edinburgh Gift Card page.

2. Pick Your Amount: Choose the value you’d like to gift.

3. Send it Away: Choose between a physical card or an instant digital download.

The Joy of Gifting Local

Art has a unique way of telling stories and holding emotions. By gifting an Edinburgh Gift Card, you’re offering someone the chance to create something beautiful and permanent for their home. Imagine the joy on their face when they finally see that treasured photo or heirloom beautifully framed and protected.

From all of us here at the workshop, we hope you have a wonderful, stress-free festive season. We’re excited to help you—and your loved ones—give the gift of art this year.

Best wishes,

Grahame Have it Framed, Edinburgh
