The right design is often the one that brings back a walk, a trip or a story you share. Think about what the recipient likes to remember from a journey: a recognisable view, an atmosphere, or something they can wear every day. A Paris image can evoke the city without showing everyone?s favourite neighbourhood, so choose for the recipient?s tastes rather than for a general idea of a Paris souvenir.

A place or memory that matters

The Eiffel Tower and 2CV in the Paris Eiffel Tower 2CV Travel collection make the travel theme easy to recognise. If Montmartre is the place that matters, look for a design devoted to that neighbourhood in the collections available; you do not need to choose another subject simply because it is Parisian.

See it on a wall or wear it

Start with how it will be used. For a wall, compare a poster, canvas and metal print with the available space and the room?s style in mind. For clothing, think about the recipient?s habits: would they prefer a T-shirt or a sweatshirt? The same design can suit different tastes without changing the memory it represents.

Here are the versions of this design to explore:

Choose the size

For a poster, measure the wall or the space available and picture how much room the image will take up. The guide Choosing a poster size for your wall offers pointers for finding a suitable proportion. Check the sizes on the product page for the poster you choose.

For a canvas or metal print, check the dimensions of that version. For clothing, consult the size information on the T-shirt or sweatshirt product page. If you are deciding between two uses, choose the one that best fits the recipient?s habits: a wall size and a clothing size meet different needs.

The detail that makes a gift personal

An image can bring back a trip without being a literal souvenir. A poster may suit someone who enjoys decorating their home; clothing may suit someone who prefers to wear their references. The Eiffel Tower 2CV design keeps the same motif while letting you choose what best fits the person.
