It is even quite enjoyable, having a frame made, as they are wiling to take the time to explain the process and offer helpful advice. They've changed with the times as well, having quite a few digital photography services, alongside the ever popular "make your photograph into a canvas" offer.

This wee shop in shawlands has been around for years and the owners are really lovely…read more Ive bought prints from them - they had some lovely pictures of "old" shawlands and the southside. You can either buy the print by itself or have them put into frames. Ive also used their photo onto a canvas service. I found the staff very helpful as the original picture i wanted to use would not have looked right once blown up. They gave me their email address and i could email in some alternatives and they would chose the best one. Fantastic service and i hope these guys are still here once the arcade is upgraded.

The name is somewhat misleading. Yes, this is a gift shop, and a nice one at that. Although, I…read morewould be severely struggling to describe the merchandise in here as 'unique'. The gift range includes fairly bog standard teddy bears, helium balloons and cards. These are nice, not badly priced and will probably be suitable for any birthday token gift. Meanwhile, there are some more unusual gifts that cannot be purchased elsewhere locally such as silver photography frames, figurines and - my favourite - brightly painted money pot banks. Superb. Thus, this is a sweet little shop ideal for small gifts at decent prices. However, don't let the name fool you into thinking this is some little boutique like shops.

The chances of uncovering a hidden gem in Art @ Home are the equivalent of finding a healthy,…read morenutritious snack in a Blue Lagoon. Alternative and quirky, this place is not. Instead, this is a place to get a Scarface or New York canvas print, with only a small collecton of painting prints available. However it is salvaged somewhat by its collection of picture frames which come in a range of shapes and styles. With helpful staff, it's a shop which deserves to survive during this difficult spell for the EK shopping centre.

This is one of the odd little shops that make up a rather tatty section of East Kilbride Shopping…read moreCentre. Art@Home sells a range of picture frames, none of which are particularly pretty in my opinion. It also sells framed prints of movie posters and Guinness adverts.

What a lovely gift shop! I am still mourning the loss of Pierrot et Coco from the South Side, and…read morethis lovely gem has popped up to rival its goodness. I actually thought it was more art gallery than gift shop so was very pleased when I realised they've managed to combine the two perfectly. The shop looks great from the outside, and if that isn't enough then the window display will definitely lure you in. It's bright, it's colourful and it's all a celebration of our beautiful city (Glasgow, der) which means it gets a whopping 5 stars from me. Stephen O'Neil is a digital artist with images from across Scotland. There's cards, small prints and then framed work so no matter what your budget, you'd be able to find a great gift. In addition to his own stuff there's a great selection of designers on display - Bonny Bling in the jewellery cabinet and Grafika notebooks, for example. Topped off with a welcoming vibe and reasonable prices, I'll can see that I'll be returning here regularly!

His trademark style heavily relies on black and red - if you don't like those colours, don't waste your time coming in here. Otherwise, consider it a classic colour combination, and just go with it! When I popped in a while back, we got chatting with Stephen himself - very friendly guy, knowledgeable and in no way pushy when it came to selling his work. Pricewise, you'll find postcards, coasters and small prints from a few quid, right up to big trifectas, costing hundreds. Most items were pretty affordable. I'll definitely be back soon.

Southside Art displays, as the name suggests, art works. It's a good sized shop and everything is…read moreneatly displayed, it doesn't feel cluttered and you can see all the pieces clearly. They have watercolours, prints, oil pastel pieces, little metal figures that you see in quirky gift shops and I also noticed Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne prints if that's something that you're looking for. When I popped in I noticed the shop assistant talking to other customers about a purchase they had made, it's nice to see that they're knowledgeable about the products that they sell and it's not just a case of wham, bam, thankyou mam when they take your money then you leave as in some other shops. I guess this added to the friendly atmosphere that the shop had. I often feel intimidated in art shops as if the staff are wondering if I know my Picasso from my Klimt but I didn't feel like that here. If you're looking for artworks to spruce up your house or as a gift for someone then they have some really nice pieces here.

The stuff in here is safe, welcoming, and suits the suburban location. You won't find anything too controversial, just nice pictures to stick above the fireplace. All the usual suspects are here, from famous artists' prints to that picture of the Glasgow tenement in the snow, and a quite comical sketch of John Wayne. There's also a few more unusual pieces for the chin strokers amongst us, but it all fits together nicely in a way that both Joe Public and art lovers can appreciate.
