With Mother’s Day just around the corner — and a calendar full of birthdays, weddings and other celebrations still to come — it’s the perfect moment to show your appreciation for the special people in your life.
While flowers and chocolates are always welcome, why not choose a gift that’s thoughtful, creative and long-lasting?
If you’re searching for something heartfelt and unique, Art Union offers a wonderful way to surprise someone special with the gift of art.
A creative gem in the heart of Regency Cheltenham
Located in the heart of Regency Cheltenham, Art Union is an independent, family-run art gallery and gift shop known for its inclusive, welcoming atmosphere.

Expertly run by a trained artist and designer, the shop offers a carefully curated selection of artwork and gifts, alongside warm, personalised guidance to help you choose something truly meaningful — whether for Mother’s Day, a birthday, a wedding, or simply a thoughtful gesture “just because.”
Unique gifts that spark joy
At Art Union, there’s something to suit every taste — whether you’re buying for mum, a partner, a friend, or treating yourself.
The gallery proudly showcases work from independent artisan designers across the UK, with a strong emphasis on supporting local talent. You’ll find:

Cheltenham themed art & souvenirs
Art Union also specialises in Cheltenham-themed art and souvenirs — perfect for visitors wanting to take home a piece of the town, or for locals who love celebrating where they live.
Their collection includes fridge magnets, tea towels, cushions, bags, framed prints, confectionery and jigsaws, all featuring distinctive Cheltenham imagery and artist-designed interpretations of the town. These make ideal keepsakes, housewarming gifts, graduation presents, or thoughtful mementos to send to loved ones further afield.
A destination for year-round gifting
While Mother’s Day is a wonderful reason to visit, Art Union is an all-year-round destination. With Father’s Day, wedding season, summer birthdays and new home celebrations ahead, it’s the perfect time to discover a local independent shop you can return to again and again.
The gallery regularly refreshes its displays, meaning every visit brings something new to explore — ideal for those who enjoy browsing creative spaces or discovering emerging artists.
