An Indyra gift card

Gift card

Let them pick the wall.

Choosing art for a home you don't live in is harder than it looks, and rather more public than a candle. This hands the decision back.

Add £50 to basket

Or another amount

Sent by email, usually within the hour. Never expires.

You could just choose something.

People do, and sometimes it goes beautifully. But a piece of wall art is a decision about a room you haven't sat in, in a light you haven't seen, above a sofa you may not have met.

The one British survey we could find on housewarming gifts put decorative prints among the ten worst things to turn up with. Candles were on the list too, which rather narrows the field.

Nobody has ever been disappointed by being trusted to choose.

How it works

01

Pick an amount

Anything from £10 to £500. Add a message if you'd like one.

02

It arrives by email

To you or to them, on a date you choose. Print it if an email feels thin.

03

They choose the piece

The craft, the size and the frame finish. Made to order, about five weeks.

Together

Four of you, one proper present.

Our pieces run from £150 to £625. That is a great deal for one person and very little split between a few.

Everyone puts in what they'd have spent on a candle. They end up with something on the wall.

  1. One of you starts. Buy a card for whatever you're putting in, and send it to their email.
  2. Send everyone else this page. No pot to join, no deadline, no spreadsheet.
  3. Each person buys their own card for whatever they like, to the same email address.
  4. They use them together at checkout and put the lot towards one piece.

Works out neatly for a round number of people and just as well for an awkward one.

What each amount does

Worth being straight about this. Below £150 a card goes towards a piece rather than buying one outright, which is exactly the point if there are several of you.

£10A contribution. Sensible when ten of you are chipping in from an office.Add
£25Roughly what a good candle costs, pointed at something that lasts longer.Add
£50A generous single gift, and a third of a small piece if three of you go in.Add
£100Two of you together covers most of our smaller framed work.Add
£250Buys a piece outright, with room to choose rather than settle.Add
£500Most of the range, including the large panels people actually want.Add

The practical bits

Delivery

By email, usually within the hour. You can set a date if you're organised, which most of us aren't.

Expiry

None. Walls take time, and nobody should be hurried into a decision by a date on a voucher.

Any currency

Spendable wherever we sell, at the rate on the day. Nothing is lost in the conversion.

It ends up somewhere.

Which is more than can be said for most of what gets carried through the door on a housewarming.
