Republic of Happy Gift Guide: Happy Christmas Gifts for Colour Lovers

We all know that hunting for the perfect gift can feel a bit overwhelming. Especially when you want something unique and original that actually brings a real smile to that special someone’s face. Not another pair of socks or toiletries set!

So, I’ve put together this guide with a few ideas to help you choose joyful gifts for the colour lover in your life. Quickly and painlessly.

Every dopamine-boosting print I design in my little Cornish studio is full of personality and tropical sunshine. And every product is made in the UK, in small batches, and to perfection.

So whether your gift recipient loves bold patterns, quirky touches, or just a little bit of colour and joy in their home, there’s something here for them.

For the one obsessed with home styling: Cushion Covers

They love fluffing and moving cushions around as if it’s a sport. A bold cushion cover is an easy way to give their sofa, bed, or favourite chair a pop of colour and pattern that makes them smile every time they walk by.

• My pick: Bright, bold cushion covers that bring the room alive in a snap.
• Why it works: Adds colour, personality, and a joyful, playful touch to their home!

For the serious baker/cook who doesn’t take themselves too seriously: Kitchen Textiles Set

They can cook a fabulously yummy dinner while happily humming and dancing along to music in the kitchen. They love beautiful, practical kitchen textiles that brighten up every baking or cooking session.

• My pick: A coordinated kitchen textiles set (apron, oven glove, and tea towel) in bold, joyful prints.
• Why it works: Practical, full of personality, and makes cooking even more fun!

For the one that's always hard to buy for: Oven Glove Set

They seem to have everything. But the truth is, everyone could do with a new pair of oven gloves to replace those burnt, tatty ones hiding somewhere! These gloves are practical, bold, cheerful, and impossible not to love.

• My pick: Oven glove set (choose any two designs to create your bundle).
• Why it works: Bright, quirky, and genuinely handy in the kitchen!

For the new homeowner whose kitchen is still finding its personality: Tea Towel Set

They just moved in? A set of cheerful tea towels is an easy way to add colour, pattern, and joy to their kitchen. These brighten up a new home, give it instant personality, and make everyday chores a little happier.

• My pick: Tea towel set (choose any three designs to create your bundle).
• Why it works: Practical, playful, and makes a new house feel like home!

For the arty, design-y type: Giclée Art Prints

If they love making every wall feel special and unique, with bold, quirky, original art, a giclée art print is the perfect pick. It adds colour, personality, and that little spark of joy to any room.

• My pick: Vibrant A4 giclée art prints that can't be missed and bring some playfulness to their space.
• Why it works: Original prints that brighten any wall and catch the eye!

A little stocking filler for children, or the young at heart: Mini Art Prints

Perfect for anyone who loves a pop of joy in their space. Mini art prints are small but pack a big punch of happiness. A perfect little stocking filler for desks, shelves, or nooks that need some love.

• My pick: Little A5 art prints that spread happiness in small spaces.
• Why it works: Affordable, cheerful, and a perfect little surprise!

For when your Christmas brain can’t make one more choice: e-Gift Card

Sometimes, you just can’t pick the right thing. An e-gift card lets your recipient choose their favourite print or textile themselves... and it still comes with all the colour and joy of a Republic of Happy gift. It’s also a perfect little stocking filler for last-minute gifting!

• My pick: e-Gift cards in various amounts, perfect for indecisive or last-minute shoppers.
• Why it works: Flexible, stress-free, and guaranteed to make them smile!

Tips for choosing the perfect gift

3. Keep things easy. My gift sets do all the hard work for you!

Psst... On every product page, you can add gift wrapping with my original Republic of Happy wrapping paper (pick from several designs). I’ll pop in a gift tag too, and you can even have it sent straight to the lucky recipient! The perfect way to finish off a delightful gift that will be remembered, for real.
