4.) Philip Colbert – Lobstars Collectable 02 - Spam Can
“The perfect Christmas gift if you have an art lover in your life, for me, would be Philip Colbert’s “Lobstars - Spam”. I mean what a present?! This sculpture is just stunning, I love everything about it. The colours are so vibrant and the artists attention to detail is incredible. Now I must admit, I’ve never tried spam but I do feel like I’m right in thinking that it would be a love it or a hate it situation, like marmite (which I happen to love). Well I’m sure there will be no haters here! It comes in the perfect sized box to fit underneath the tree - oh and the box it comes in is incredible in itself, as I said, his attention to detail is impeccable - and we all love an easy to wrap gift don’t we! Also if you have a loved one who always says they have no wall space left, look no further, no wall required with this present!” Katherine - Art Advisor

5.) Idles x Magda Archer - Brutalism: Illustrated Lyrics
“For me, it has to be the Idles and Magda Archer book. It's such an incredible collaboration – Magda's artwork contrasts the bands lyrics in such a striking way, such an unexpected project but it works so well, it's the perfect combination of two brilliant creatives work in one publication. The book isn't released until February so we're the only place you can get it for Christmas! I couldn't pick anything else...” Will - Gallery Manager

7.) Magda Archer – Poor Thing
A perfect example of Magda's work from the 2000's, Poor Thing features a solitary robin, resting on a snow-covered branch – a classic winter scene contrasted with Magda's typically dry sense of humour. A beautifully painted work on canvas, Poor Thing is an opportunity to gift an original work of art by one of the most exciting contemporary artists showing at Helm.

8.) David Gibson – The Street Photographers Manual
“Since I got my camera at the start of the year, I have been gravitating towards street photography and enjoying capturing people in a natural, authentic way. I have just been winging it myself but would like to learn a little more about lighting, composition and just look for inspiration in general. So would LOVE this as a gift (this is me hinting to my loved ones).” Ashleigh - Marketing Manager

Brighton native Poppy Faun has long had an established career creating beautiful, mid-century inspired works conveying feelings of lust, love and optimism that has seen her become widely collected and celebrated on a national scale.

10.) Andy Doig – I Hope We Fall In Love
“This Christmas, I want a warm pink glow...If I could have any one piece from Helm, it would have to be I Hope We Fall In Love. Now, I recognise the price point wouldn't work for Secret Santa, and it wouldn't fit into a stocking - but I would happily forgo all other presents for the foreseeable future to have this one. I love the hands-on expertise that goes into making a piece like this in neon, the character in the handwriting and the bubblegum pink colour – gorgeous.” India -Artist Liaison
