A Photo Christmas Gift for Your Wife She Can Build

Looking for a photo Christmas gift for your wife that feels personal, not predictable? Turn a photo of the two of you into a custom brick mosaic kit she can build, hang, and keep.

This guide helps you choose the photo, pick a size, and give it in a way that makes Christmas morning feel like yours.

Why a photo gift says more than another thing

Another sweater or candle is nice, and forgotten by spring. A photo of your wedding day, your first trip, or the morning you brought the baby home says something different: I remember this, and I still think about it.

A brick mosaic takes that photo off your phone and onto the wall. It is made from thousands of small 1×1 bricks. Up close it looks like a pattern of color. From across the room, it is the two of you.

Pick the right photo of the two of you

The best photo is the one with a story behind it. A few that work well:

The wedding photo

The obvious one is obvious for a reason. Pick a shot where both faces are clear and close to the camera, rather than a wide shot of the whole venue.

The trip you still talk about

The sunburned selfie on the boat, the two of you at the top of the trail. Bright daylight photos usually turn out better than dark restaurant shots.

The family photo with the kids or the dog

If your family is the story, put everyone in. Group photos need more room, so look at the larger sizes below.

Not sure which one? Upload two or three in our editor and compare the previews. You see your mosaic before you order.

How to give it on Christmas morning

Wrap the kit

The kit arrives with everything needed to build: the 1×1 bricks for your design (from a palette of 40+ colors), sorted into small labeled bags; white baseplates; personalized building instructions; and a building tool. Wrap it as it comes, with the photo you used tucked inside as a hint.

Build it together over the holidays

A mosaic is something to do together in that slow week after Christmas. Put on a movie, pour something warm, and fill it in row by row. A 20×20 has 4,096 pieces and takes about 4 hours. A 30×20 has 6,144 pieces and takes about 6 hours. Those are estimates, so split them over a few evenings.

Want her to choose the photo?

If she has a favorite you would never guess, give the Art Gift Kit. You buy it now with no photo and receive a personalisation link by email. She picks the photo and approves the design, and we make the kit and ship it to her. Write the link inside her card.

Choosing a size for your wall

Today's prices for popular couple sizes:

Size	Pieces	Build time (estimate)	Kit price
20×20	4,096	about 4 hours	$99.88
30×20	6,144	about 6 hours	$149.00
40×20 (fits 1 to 3 people)	8,192	about 8 hours	$189.99

A square 20×20 suits a close-up of two faces. A wide 30×20 or 40×20 suits a photo with more of the scene or a third family member. Frames are sold separately: $65.00 for a 20×20 and $79.00 for a 30×20 at the time of writing. For every size side by side, see our brick mosaic size guide.

Not sure how the photo will look?

The editor shows you the mosaic as soon as you upload, and you can adjust colors and try different sizes. If you would rather have help, Memobrick's designers can create the design for you and send a free proof before production. It is optional.
