For the holiday season, we asked our print-on-demand partners to share a few gift ideas inspired by products that feature Shutterstock images. Take a look and happy gifting!
The holidays are just around the corner, and that means gifts. At Shutterstock, our love for images and visuals knows no bounds, which is why we’ve put together a list of the most creative photo-inspired gifts you can buy from some of our print-on-demand partners around the world.
These innovative companies all offer direct access to eye-catching Shutterstock images right from inside their platforms. Powered by our API, this means that their customers can quickly find gift-worthy products — including jigsaw puzzles, mugs, t-shirts, canvas prints, posters, kitchen backsplashes and more — that appeal to anyone this holiday season.
We asked our partners to share a few gift ideas, many inspired by products you can buy featuring Shutterstock images. Note, these companies span across different global regions, so there may be shipping restrictions. Take a look:
Curated jigsaw puzzles with PuzzleYOU

Wall art that pops with Art Print Shop
Art Print Shop, an international online seller of curated wall art, offers an integration with Shutterstock’s content library that gives customers a wide range of beautiful, curated designs and images right from within their platform.
With so many potential gifts to find on Art Print Shop, one idea for the holiday season is this beautiful canvas trio that brings to life a bold bottle green marble design:
A piece like this adds a striking centerpiece to any wall space and makes an ideal gift for anyone wanting to give their home decor a boost.

Take your kitchen to the next level with Premier Range
Decorating a home with beautiful art can go far beyond filling empty walls. Take for example Premier Range, the UK’s leading provider of custom kitchen backsplashes. With Premier Range, customers can create and customize beautiful and unique backsplashes, chopping boards, radiator covers and more — all with direct access to Shutterstock images.
Need some inspiration on where to start this holiday season? Table Tops is one of Premier Range’s newest products, which supports almost all table layouts including rounds, squares, and rectangles.
Each piece is cut bespoke with all edges polished then toughened in 6mm heat resistant glass. Customers can easily select images and quickly edit on the website to fit the right size glass. Each image is then printed in high resolution by the team’s experienced print technicians to a perfect finish.
Bring your walls to life with Great Big Canvas
Any gift that brightens up a home is bound to be a hit. Great Big Canvas, offering high-quality canvas prints, framed art prints, poster prints and more, lets customers pick and choose images from the Shutterstock Collection to print on various canvas styles and sizes.

Need help deciding which image would make the perfect gift? Fine art photography, colorful floral photography prints, natural and man-made landmarks, beaches and coastlines or an animal print like this atmospheric print of a Red Deer are all great places to start.
