This young man may not be interested or have a place to display any art in the near future, but for others on your list Christmas gift certificates are a great way of giving a gift for those on your list that would love a piece of art.

Even though everyone has heard the term ‘The long arm of the law’,  the reach of the police in Adelaide didn’t have to be very long to arrest the Australian teenager, who was nabbed breaking into the police station early Monday morning.

The police officers were busy in the back of the police station in a suburb of the southern city of Adelaide and heard the front door glass getting smashed. They found the young man, a 16-year old, in the front area of the station. He may be looking for a ‘get out of jail free’ card instead of a Christmas gift certificate or any sort of art at this point.

He certainly found out that the easiest way of getting arrested is to get caught breaking and entering at the police station. The 16 year old did about A$2,000 ($1,340) worth of damage and he was ultimately denied bail. Something like a Christmas gift certificate, that is usable at a later date, would seem to be in order for this youth, but are also good for those who are not incarcerated.

A spokesperson for the police stated that the youth didn’t give a reason for what he did, and that he may have had “a bit too much to drink.”

This young man may not be receiving any Christmas gifts this year unless his family purchases a Christmas gift certificate. However, if you have no one who has recently broken into a police station, a Christmas gift certificate is still a wonderful present especially for the art lovers on your buying list.

Christmas is right around the corner and you might be looking for business Christmas gifts. On top of shopping for your family you may need something for a member of staff, superior, co-worker, client, business partner or faithful costumer. Giving is part of the Christmas spirit; and if those on your list love art, then using art gift certificates for business Christmas gifts can be a very creative way to go.

Many businesses give greeting cards instead of gift certificates for Christmas. This can be a great way to let someone know that they are appreciated. However, if you are looking to add an extra special thank you along with the Christmas card, enclosing an art gift certificate, to put toward a family portrait perhaps, will certainly send the message.

It can be very difficult and time consuming for one to figure out what each one on your list could really use. If you know that you have art lovers on your list, you may prefer to give them gift certificates for Christmas instead. Giving gift certificates for business Christmas gifts will eliminate the risk of making mistakes in gift giving. It can also reduce the stress of shopping and gift wrapping. Art gift certificates for Christmas are very much appreciated by art lovers as the recipient has the freedom of choosing the type of art they want to put it towards.

Another way to give the art gift certificates for business Christmas gifts is to tuck it into a gift basket. There are chocolate gift baskets, gourmet gift baskets and wine gift baskets and this can be a great way to thank a client or a business partner.

If the art lover on your list is also a wine or liquor connoisseur, then presenting the art gift certificate for Christmas with their favorite elixir is another option. Christmas time means celebrating and some businessmen celebrate with their favorite drink. This makes wine or liquor a good corporate Christmas gift and coupled with a gift certificate it can be a well received holiday present.

The gift certificate can be for any amount…maybe it’s your husband’s or wife’s birthday, a mother or fathers..wedding anniversary or a graduation.

It can also be designated for a particular theme or category. For example, you may purchase a gift voucher for an anniversary present which allows the giftee ‘Any two person portrait 20 x 24 inch’. This would allow the receipient to redeem the portrait when they want, with any photo they choose.

If you are looking for a birthday gift idea then a voucher can be an ideal present for that hard to please family member. Simply email us a photograph….it may be your brother, sister, mother, father, grandfather (pop) or grandmother (nan); we will send back some suggestions. For example, your brother may be a keen motorbike rider. We can find a suitable background, add your brother on the motorcycle and send you a ‘mock-up’ of how the custom portrait may look. Or you may have a hard to please cousin, send them an open certificate with a special message on it…and the voucher.

Basically, you can use your imagination to it’s limits. Think of any situation involving people, pets, cars, boats, houses, motorbikes or landscapes….we can commission an artist to transform your idea into a memorable custom artwork on canvas. Just send us the photo!
