Made for you

Made to your size. Every frame is cut, joined and glazed to order, which is why we can't accept returns on made-to-measure frames. Please check your size before ordering.

Arrives perfect, or we remake it. Every frame travels in specialised picture frame packaging. If anything reaches you less than perfect, send us a photo within 48 hours of delivery and we'll remake it free.

Caring for it. Peel any protective film from the glazing, then clean with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use glass cleaner.

A Christmas photo that says which Christmas

Every family has a camera roll full of Christmases that all look alike. Printing the name and the year on the mat turns one of them into the one you keep: the year the kids were small, the first Christmas in a new house, the one when everyone made it home.

The words sit in the border below the photo, printed in archival ink, so the photo itself is untouched. Pick a lettering style, from a classic serif to a flowing script, and an ink colour that suits the frame. Deep red and dark green frames lean festive; black, white and oak keep it year-round, so it can stay up long after the decorations come down.

Want it plain instead? Our Christmas picture frames page has the same frames with an optional plain mat, from a lower price.

FAQ

Common questions,
honest answers.

Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us via chat or email.

What can I have printed?
A first line, usually the family name, and a second line beneath it such as "Christmas 2026". Type your own words, choose the layout, lettering and ink, and the preview shows exactly what we print on the mat.
Is the text engraved?
No. The words are printed straight onto the mat in archival pigment ink, so they stay sharp at small sizes and work in every lettering style. People often search for an engraved frame; printing gives the same keepsake finish with far more choice of lettering.
Do I need to upload a photo?
You can upload the photo and we will print it, or choose frame only and slip in your own photo when it arrives. The words are printed on the mat either way.
Can I have it without the names?
Yes. For a plain mat or no mat at all, use our Christmas picture frames page, which has the same frames from a lower price.
Will it arrive in time for Christmas?
Every frame is printed, cut and framed to order in the UK and shipped from there. The banner at the top of this page shows the last order date for Christmas delivery to your country, and delivery times also show at checkout.
Can you send it straight to the person I am buying for?
Yes. Enter their address at checkout and we ship it directly to them. We never put prices or an invoice in the package, and you can add a gift message in your cart.
