With the countdown to Christmas well underway, now is the time to make sure presents are bought, wrapped and placed under the tree for all your favourite people. If the friend or relative in question is an avid upcycler, crafter or Frenchic fanatic, you’re in luck!
We’ve put together a list of Christmas gift ideas, so you can put the red Frenchic heart into your loved one’s stocking this year.
1. Paint
The simplest go-to gift for anyone who enjoys upcycling, decorating or any kind of home makeover project. For the decorative furniture painter or creative upcycler, choose from the Original Artisan Range. Pop in a decorative wax and a brush or two and you’ve got the perfect set!
For the DIYer or decorator, choose from over 150 Chalk Wall Paint and Trim Paint colours – they’ll be spoilt for choice!
2. Decorative 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.
3. Metallic paints and powders
Add some glitz and glam 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. 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.
4. New brushes
The right brush will work wonders – and if you’re not sure, why not treat them to a whole new set?
Oval brushes are a game changer when it comes to applying chalk paint (or any paint for that matter) for a smooth finish or decorative touches. At Frenchic, we have oval brushes in a choice of four sizes – petite, small, medium and large. And there’s our set of detailing brushes for smaller, decorative touches and wiggling into those hard-to-reach spots. They’re a great choice for motifs and detail.
For the crafter on your gift list, stencils and a stencil brush are the perfect choice. Or choose an all-rounder wide blending brush for first coats, creative effects or easy blending.
Buying for a vegan painter? No problem – we have 100% synthetic bristle options in our collection of both oval and flat brushes.
5. Frenchic gear
For the Frenchic fan on your gift list, keep it simple with a hat, scarf or cap. Or keep them warm and mess-free with a polo, hoodie, gilet or apron – all with the iconic Frenchic heart.
Practical but useful, we’ve got perfect painting accessories from fabulous brushes to super-simple paint tin openers and heart-shaped sponges! Check out our brushes, merch and gifts.
6. Still not sure? Try vouchers!
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!
Stocking fillers for under £10
They say it’s the thought that counts, so to finish off our Christmas gift guide, here’s a selection of great goodies for under £10.
7. Paint Tin opener – A must-have for any painter, complete with the Frenchic logo.
8. Oval Petite brush – A super-versatile little brush that they can use on a wide range of projects.
9. Flat brushes – Choose from 30mm and 50mm in width, both vegan-friendly.
10. Stencil brush – A short, stubby brush with mixed bristles and a round shape, specially designed for stencilling to avoid applying too much paint.
11. Easy Crackle – Watch their surprise when the crackle effect develops in front of their eyes on their next painting project.
12. Sugar Soap – The essential prep potion for pretty much every project.
13. Heart sponge – Great for applying finishing coat, decoupaging and sugar soaping with the rough side.
Whatever you choose, you’ll be putting a bit of Frenchic passion under the tree for the upcycler or creative in your life.
