Finding a thoughtful present for someone who loves aircraft can be difficult. The best aviation gifts feel personal: they celebrate a favourite aircraft, a career in flying or a lifelong fascination with the story of flight.
At Libra Fine Arts, every design begins with original artwork by British artist Skip Khangurra. His detailed charcoal and graphite drawings are transformed into distinctive gifts for pilots, cabin crew, plane spotters, collectors and aviation enthusiasts.
1. Fine bone china aircraft mugs
A beautifully illustrated aircraft mug is a practical gift that can still feel special. Our aviation range includes designs featuring Concorde, the Boeing 747, Boeing 777, Airbus A320 and the Supermarine Spitfire. Each design is based on original hand-drawn artwork, making these mugs ideal for birthdays, retirement gifts or a new-job celebration in aviation.

2. Hand-drawn aviation greeting cards
Sometimes the card matters as much as the present. Our aircraft greeting cards include commercial and military aviation designs for birthdays, retirement, gaining your wings, bon voyage wishes and Christmas. They are printed in the UK on FSC-certified board, supplied with a coordinating envelope and left blank inside for a personal message.

3. Aviation art prints
For a lasting gift, an aircraft art print brings the character and engineering of an iconic aeroplane into the home or office. Choose from detailed studies of Concorde, Boeing and Airbus aircraft, classic military aviation and views inspired by the experience of flight. Mounted and framed options make these prints suitable for important birthdays, leaving gifts and retirement presentations.
4. The signed Concorde limited-edition print
For a serious Concorde collector, our limited-edition artwork is a particularly meaningful choice. The edition is limited to 250 and signed by former Concorde captain Jock Lowe and artist Skip Khangurra, with a certificate of authenticity. It celebrates one of the most recognisable aircraft ever created and makes a memorable piece of aviation history.

5. Aviation gifts for the home
Tea towels, coasters, chopping boards, candles and shopper bags offer an easy way to give aviation artwork that can be enjoyed every day. These gifts work well for Secret Santa, thank-you presents, Christmas stockings and smaller birthday gifts, while still feeling more individual than mass-produced aircraft merchandise.
How to choose the right aircraft gift
- Know their favourite aircraft: Concorde and the Boeing 747 are ideal for lovers of aviation history, while Airbus designs suit fans of modern commercial flying.
- Think about the occasion: a greeting card or coaster is perfect for a small gesture; a mug or tea towel makes a useful present; a framed print suits a milestone birthday or retirement.
- Choose original artwork: a hand-drawn design gives the gift a story and a personal connection to the artist.
- Consider where it will be displayed: framed aviation art works well in a home office, study, crew room or aviation-themed space.
