Why ‘Favourite Things’ Art Makes the Perfect Personalised Gift

When it comes to gift-giving, we’re all searching for something that feels just right. Something that says: “I see you. I know you. I love the little things that make you you.” Enter: the Favourite Things Print – a whimsical, personalised piece of art designed to capture all the quirky, cosy, sweet, and special things someone loves most.

At The Little Things Company, we believe that personalised thoughtful gifts don’t have to be cheesy or cliché. They can be playful, stylish, and full of soul – just like the people they’re made for. So let’s dive into why favourite things art is the perfect present for birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, or just because.

It’s One-Of-A-Kind (Just Like Them)

Let’s be honest: the best gifts are the ones no one else could give. A Favourite Things Print is completely custom – every detail is chosen by you. Whether they’re obsessed with oat flat whites, adore Studio Ghibli films, or cry every time they rewatch Fleabag, their print becomes a mini gallery of their heart.

There’s something magical about seeing your favourite foods, hobbies, and hidden obsessions illustrated together on one beautiful print. It’s the kind of art that makes people stop, smile, and say, “That is so me.”

It’s Thoughtful Without Being Overwhelming

Sometimes, finding the perfect personalised gift can feel like a high-stakes game. Will they like it? Is it too much? Not enough? A Favourite Things Gift hits that sweet spot. It’s thoughtful and meaningful – but also light, joyful, and fun.

You don’t need to know their entire life story. Just choose a few of their favourite things – a book they reread every summer, the pasta dish they could eat forever, the vinyl they spin on rainy Sundays – and we’ll turn them into something beautifully curated.

It’s Versatile for All Occasions

What do you buy someone who has everything? Or someone you’ve only been dating for a few months? Or your sister who says she wants “nothing” every Christmas?

A Favourite Things Print is one of the most versatile personalised gift ideas out there.
It works for:

  • Birthdays (hello, milestone memories!)

  • Weddings (combine both partners’ favourite things – so cute!)

  • New Homes (a print that feels like them in their new space)

  • Mother’s Day / Father’s Day (cue the happy tears)

  • Graduation (mark the end of an era with their uni faves)

No matter the moment, this kind of art becomes a little time capsule – a snapshot of who they were, what they loved, and the joy they brought to your life.

It Supports a Small Creative Business

When you shop with The Little Things Company, you’re not just ordering a pretty print – you’re supporting an independent artist who puts love and intention into every single illustration.

Each design is carefully drawn, coloured and arranged to reflect your vision. You’re not dealing with a faceless mass-manufacturer – you’re working with someone who cares that it’s perfect. Because when you care enough to gift something this personal, we care enough to make it truly shine.

It Sparks Joy (and Compliments)

We’ve seen it time and time again: someone opens their Favourite Things Print, and suddenly everyone’s gathered around, pointing, laughing, asking questions.

“Is that the lasagne from your favourite restaurant?”
“Wait – you really added Taylor Swift, beekeeping, and your dog Barney?”
“I want one!”

It’s more than a gift – it’s a conversation starter, a burst of joy on a gallery wall, a daily reminder of all the things that make life sweet.

Custom Doesn’t Have to Mean Complicated
