Why Art Prints & Tees Make the Perfect Christmas Present

Christmas sneaks up every single year, and somehow there’s always that one person we completely forget to buy for. If that’s you right now — don’t panic! You can still grab a meaningful, thoughtful, beautifully designed gift without the stress.


Everything on the PDCS site is created by me, with love poured into every piece. Our t-shirts are shipped manually from my little studio, and our prints are produced by a trusted supplier I work closely with to ensure quality and fast delivery.


Here’s why PDCS prints and tees make the perfect last-minute Christmas gifts (and how to make sure they arrive in time!).


Why Art Prints Make the BEST Last-Minute Christmas Gift

There’s something incredibly meaningful about gifting artwork. Most of my prints begin life with me curled up on the sofa, watching Christmas films with my iPad, sketching ideas as they come to me. They’re genuinely one-of-a-kind illustrations that you won’t find anywhere else.


Whether it’s my lemon trio, my seasonal holiday bows, or the iconic Duk fresh out the bath, each design has its own personality, charm, and story behind it. They’re thoughtful without being over-the-top — perfect for mums, partners, friends, or new homeowners looking to brighten up their space.


Art prints are the best of both worlds:


  • They look more premium than their price tag

  • They’re super easy to frame

  • They work as stocking fillers or a main present


Small budget, big impact.


Our final order date for prints is:📦 December 16th


Order before then and your print will be on its way in time to go under the tree.But if you’re reading this late… order anyway — often things move quicker than expected!


All PDCS tees are designed in-house, with a quirky, feel-good vibe that instantly stands out. They’re creative, bold, and full of personality — perfect for someone who loves something a little different.


Everyone loves a good tee. It’s a wearable, personal gift that fits so many different styles and personalities.


Here are your deadlines:

  • Tracked 48: order by 19 December

  • Tracked 24: order by 21 December


And if you’re a true last-minute legend:I’d recommend choosing Tracked 24 to be safe!


❤️ Support Small This Christmas

When you shop small, your gift does more than just make someone’s day — it supports an independent artist, fuels creativity, and genuinely helps a small business grow.

Every order, every message, every share… I feel all of it.Thank you for supporting PDCS this season. It means more than you know.
