The holidays are coming, and I'll be honest: art makes one of my favorite gifts. It doesn't get used up or tossed in a drawer. It hangs on a wall and reminds someone of a place they love every single day.
Here's my guide to Sheascapes gifts at every price, plus the dates you need to know.
Order-by dates for Christmas
Every giclée is made to order and takes 2–3 weeks before it ships, so timing matters.
- Giclée canvas prints: order by [November 23] for delivery by Christmas
- Matted prints and stickers: order by [December 10] for mainland shipping, [December 17] on Kauaʻi
- Custom commissions: reach out now. [Say whether you're taking holiday commissions, or offer a gift note promising a painting in the new year.]
[Add any Black Friday or Small Business Saturday (Nov 28) offer here.]
Under $50: stocking stuffers and small thank-yous
Perfect for teachers, coworkers, and anyone who's ever said "I miss Kauaʻi."
- Stickers [add price]. Slap a little aloha on a water bottle, cooler or laptop.
- Matted prints, from $22. Each comes in a white mat with a clear sleeve, ready to wrap. Try Hanalei Lights or Surrender.
- The Matted Print Bundle, from $47. Three prints in one gift: Hanalei Lights, Open Ceiling Cave and Where It Began. Split it up for three people, or give the set to one lucky person for a mini gallery wall.
$100–$250: a real piece of art for their wall
A small giclée feels like an original painting on canvas, and it arrives ready to hang.
- Hanalei Lights, 9x12 giclée, $130. A sweet size for a desk, shelf or bedside wall.
- Mrs., 12x12 giclée, $185. A cheerful square that fits almost anywhere.
- Sunset Lover, 8x24 giclée, $220. For the friend who never misses a sunset.
- Any giclée in 9x12, from $130, including Napali, Palms and Keyhole.
The splurge: statement pieces
For parents, partners, or a new homeowner who needs that one perfect piece over the couch.
- Kalo Heaven, 12x36 giclée, $386. A long, peaceful panorama made for above a bed or console.
- Hide Aways in 24x36, $624. My largest size and a true centerpiece.
- A Piece of Home, sizes up to 24x36. The name says it all.
Gift ideas by person
- For someone who moved away from the island: A Piece of Home. It's exactly what it sounds like.
- For the North Shore lover: Hanalei Lights or Napali.
- For the adventurer: Open Ceiling Cave or Tunnels.
- For the creative kid (or grown-up): an art lesson with me. Email me to set up a private lesson as a gift.
The most personal gift: a custom painting
Is there a place that means everything to someone you love? The beach where they got engaged, the view from their family home, the trail they hike every weekend?
I'd love to paint it. A commission turns a memory into something they can keep forever. Email me at sheascapess@gmail.com with the place, a few photos and the size you have in mind, and we'll talk it through together.
Shop small, shop local
Every purchase from Sheascapes supports a local Kauaʻi artist and mom. It helps me keep painting, teaching, and sharing this island with you. Mahalo for thinking of handmade art this season.
