Buying gifts for men is notoriously difficult. Once a man reaches a certain age, his gift intake seems to consist almost entirely of socks, whisky stones, and gadgets that end up forgotten in a drawer by Boxing Day. Whether you’re shopping for a partner, father, brother, or best friend, finding something truly meaningful can feel impossible.
We often overlook one of the most personal and lasting gift options: custom picture framing.
A bespoke frame doesn’t just display an item — it transforms a memory into a piece of art that takes pride of place on his wall for decades. It proves you’ve thought deeply about his passions, his history, and what really matters to him.
At Easyframe, we believe the best gifts tell a story. Here are five frame-worthy ideas guaranteed to impress even the hardest-to-buy-for man.
For many men, sport is more than a hobby — it’s a lifelong passion. There’s a world of difference between a replica shirt hidden in a drawer and a piece of sporting history proudly displayed on the wall.
The Idea: Hunt down something with real sentimental value — a match-day programme from his first ever game, a ticket from a famous victory, or (the ultimate) a signed or vintage jersey from a legendary season.
Easyframe Solution: We specialise in football/rugby shirt framing that lets the jersey hang naturally without creasing or crushing the fabric. Add UV-protective glass to keep signatures vivid for decades.
Vinyl is back — and so is the appreciation for stunning album artwork. Why leave iconic covers in a crate when they were designed to be seen?
The Idea: Frame his life-changing album (record + sleeve side-by-side), or create a collage of gig tickets, setlists, plectrums, and posters from concerts you’ve shared.
Easyframe Solution: Precision-cut mounts that perfectly circle the disc, plus multi-aperture designs to arrange smaller items into a curated gallery piece.
Certain places hold a piece of his heart — his childhood town, university city, or that perfect holiday destination.
The Idea: A vintage Ordnance Survey map of his hometown, or a marked-up route of a marathon, mountain climb, or epic road trip you took together.
Easyframe Solution: Made-to-measure frames (no cropping required) in classic woods that complement the beautiful sepia tones of old maps.
Every man has “that collection” gathering dust in a box — fishing lures, military medals, golf balls, vintage coins…
The Idea: Bring his passion into the light with a professional shadow box display.
Easyframe Solution: Deep box frames customised to the exact depth needed, keeping even bulky objects safe and dust-free behind glass.
Nothing moves a father or grandfather more than family history turned into art.
The Idea: Restore and frame an old black-and-white photo of his own dad or grandad, or elevate one of his child’s drawings into a proper gallery piece with a sleek modern frame and mount.
Easyframe Solution: Conservation-grade or Museum glass to prevent fading — ensuring the memories you frame today stay perfect for the next generation.
