Give her a gift this Mother’s Day that truly reflects how much she is appreciated and loved. Flowers, candy and a fancy dinner out are all nice of course, and I am certain they would be appreciated. But why not make 2009 the year you give her something that really reflects how much she is honored, something creative that will remind her every day how much her family means to her?
I’m talking about a canvas print of one of her favorite photographs.
Imagine her unwrapping a customized canvas print enlargement of her favorite family photograph – that one she loves of her children laughing and playing with the dog.
Sound expensive? It’s not, in fact you can get a photo canvas print on-line for less than $70!
This article explains how you can get these personalized photo canvas prints created and how to pick a good company.
It starts with the right photograph. Digital images are the best but traditional photo prints can also be used. Select a photo that you know she will love, and one that will look good enlarged and hanging on the wall. Formal portraits work well as do high quality, candid snapshots that you have taken. Make sure the photo is in focus…most problems can be corrected by the photo canvas printing company but not out-of-focus pictures.
Find a high quality photo canvas printing company through your favorite search engine. Use search phrases like “photoart canvas” to locate a company. Choose a company that specializes in canvas printing and make sure they include photo enhancement services at no extra charge to correct minor photo problems such as red-eye removal, color correction, contrast improvement etc. These make a huge difference on the final canvas print, since you won’t want a large print of a marginal photo.
A good photo canvas print company should also be able to transform your photo into a painting-look, or into sepia tone, or conversion to black-and-white. The painting technique can be especially nice and is very unique – its like getting a custom painted portrait for a fraction of the cost of a real painting.
Confirm that the company uses museum quality canvas and ink, and applies a protective spray laminate to the printed image. The canvas should be stretched on heavy-duty 1 ¼” wooden stretcher bars, not thinner bars that will warp.
And finally, insist on a 100% money-back, no-questions asked guarantee.
Including shipping you should allow about 10 days for your canvas to arrive.
All that’s left to do now is watch her face when she unwraps your gift. She will appreciate your thoughtfulness and creativity. This is one Mother’s Day gift she will never forget.
