Blog Pick: The Baz Luhrmann “Wear Sunscreen” Print

The perfect gift for almost anyone

If I could offer you one gift recommendation for the future… it would be this.

The iconic “Wear Sunscreen” speech (popularised by Baz Luhrmann in the late 90s) has become one of those timeless pieces of advice that never feels outdated. And as a beautifully designed print or card? It’s the kind of present that works for so many occasions.

Why it makes such a perfect gift

🎓 Graduation

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

“Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life.”

It’s practically made for school or university leavers stepping into the unknown.

🎂 Milestone birthdays

30, 40, 50… the message hits differently at every age. It’s reflective, reassuring and gently motivating all at once.

🏡 New home

Framed on a wall, it’s a daily reminder to live well, take chances, and appreciate the moment.

💌 Just because

It’s thoughtful without being overly sentimental — ideal for friends, siblings, partners or even as a little gift to yourself.

Design details

What makes these versions especially lovely is the clean typography and bold colour choices — teal, grey, orange, purple, white — modern enough for contemporary homes, but classic enough to last.

Framed on a brick wall, clipped minimalist-style, or printed as a bright card with a simple SPF 50 illustration — they feel fresh while still carrying that nostalgic 90s warmth.

Why people still love it

The advice feels honest. It’s not preachy. It’s not complicated.

It’s human.

“Enjoy your body.”

“Travel.”

“Dance.”

“But trust me on the sunscreen.”

It’s funny, wise, comforting — and somehow always exactly what someone needs to hear.

If you’re stuck for a gift that feels meaningful but not overdone, this might just be it.
