A little something, chosen with love.

Welcome to my collection of illustrated gifts. I’m Iris Esther, an independent illustrator working from a small studio in the Netherlands, and here you’ll find pieces made for giving, keeping, and becoming part of someone’s everyday life.

I have always loved gifts that feel as though they were truly chosen for someone. Something beautiful tucked beneath the Christmas tree, a little surprise sent through the post, or a keepsake that quietly says I thought of you.

This collection brings together some of my favourite things to give: illustrated calendars to return to year after year, notebooks waiting for new thoughts and dreams, collections of postcards, art prints, little paper treasures and gifts inspired by fairytales, nature and the changing seasons.

Everything you find here began with an illustration at my drawing table and was made with the hope that it might be kept for a little longer. Not simply opened and forgotten, but written in, hung on a wall, brought out with the seasons or rediscovered years from now.

So whether you are looking for a Christmas gift, a birthday present, something small to send to a friend, or simply a little bit of wonder for someone you love, I hope you find something here that feels just right.

A small gift can hold a whole lot of love.
