Christmas gift guide 2025
Is there anything better to give your friends and family this Christmas than the gift of creativity? Whether your loved ones are already Frenchic fans, or if you want to introduce them to our wonderful community, there’s something for everyone.
From their favourite paint colour to the tactile joy of Frenchic’s satisfying brushes to a sparkle of metallics that add a luminous layer to upcycles, you can unleash a world of imagination with our list of Christmas gift ideas.
For the renovators…
Here at Frenchic we cater for everyone, the colour curious, the colour confident and the neutrals lovers, with over 159 gorgeous shades in five different ranges, there’s one to suit every style and every project. Imagine gifting your loved one inspiration for their decorating project by picking their favourite shade of paint wrapped up under the tree.
From our award-winning ultra-matte Chalk Wall Paint to the subtle, satin finish on our Trim range, to our weatherproof Al Fresco range. Upcyclers will also love the Lazy Range and Original Artisan Range. Get your choice of paint range spot on with our full guide to the Frenchic ranges.
For the upcyclers…
There’s something absolutely joyful about gifting or unwrapping a fresh new paintbrush, and Frenchic’s are more tactile than most, with their satisfying smooth wooden handles, oval shape, and ultra-fine bristles. They really are a game changer when it comes to applying chalk paint for a smooth finish or decorative touches.
The oval brushes come in a choice of four sizes petite, small, medium and large. There’s our set of detailing brushes for smaller, decorative touches and wiggling into those hard-to-reach spots (plus they’re a great choice for motifs and detail). While the Flat Brushes come in 30mm and 50mm in width and are both vegan-friendly.
The right brush will work wonders – and if you’re not sure, why not treat them to a whole new set?
Waxes
Frenchic Waxes offer something a little bit different when it comes to getting creative with your paint projects. Easy to use, they can bring a unique look and finish and are just as fabulous for unpainted wood. If you’re buying, be sure to include a specially designed wax brush too – available in small or large.
For the crafters…
Metallic paints and powders
Add a touch of shimmer to any project with metallic paints and powders. From furniture to handles, drawer knobs and more – it’s a sure-fire way for embellishing, adding, or highlighting detail, especially around your decoupages. Mix Frensheen powders with Finishing Coat or Clear Wax or choose ready-mixed Frenshimmers. To add wow to larger areas, our Metallics range, featuring three fabulous metallic paints in gold, platinum and rose gold will
add a sumptuous finish. Choose an all-rounder wide blending brush for first coats, creative effects or easy blending.
Stencilling
Frenchic paint is absolutely perfect for stencilling. Dab the paint on with the neat Stencil Brush and add a layer of Finishing Coat on top for protection.
For the hackers…
Fans of Frenchic will know we love a hack and hot off the press our the new Frenchic hack bundles. If want to try the famous beam hack on high-traffic surfaces, snap up our new No Beam, Beam hack bundles in either the matte or satin finish.
For the fan club…
If your gift recipient is an avid Frenchic fan, you might want to add some Frenchic merchandise to their stocking this year to put a smile on their face. Try the Al Fresco Cool Beans themed thermos cup to keep their drinks hot while they’re upcycling. The Frenchic tin topper or the cosy Frenchic Pom Pom beanie.
For the last minute gifters…
If you really can’t decide what to get the crafter or creative on your list, then give them the gift of choice with a Frenchic gift voucher. Choose from £10, £25, £50, £100 or more with some fabulous new designs. Perfect for posting or slipping into a stocking.
