How to Create your Very Own Photo Gifts by Printing on Canvas

Need to find a gift for someone who seems to have everything? This type of person does not hesitate to run out and buy what he wants, so it is unlikely that you can get him something he does not already have. Instead, you should give a gift that he cannot buy. Giving a unique gift that you made yourself will show the receiver that you truly care. If you feel creatively challenged, consider photo gifts to make lasting and meaningful items for your loved ones.

There are hundreds of gift items to choose from on-line where you can use photo images to make special and lasting gifts. If your images are not yet in digital format, you will need to scan the photographs you want to use. There are many on-line services where you can mail your photographs or photo negatives for scanning. If you are uncomfortable letting go of your originals or cramped for time, you can have your local photo shop scan your images.

Picking the Right Photo for your Photo Gift

Choosing the right images for your photo gifts will make a big difference in the outcome. Try photographs of you and your partner as children or pictures of pets. Children, puppies and kittens at play make excellent subjects for heartwarming keepsakes that the recipient will treasure.

Better yet, use a large number of photographs, taken over the years, showing the stages of your lives as they developed. You can use photographs of you and the gift recipient, and then mix in some photos of events or people that create a special connection between the two of you. Have them arranged in a mosaic for a more interesting and unusual presentation.

Printing on Canvas

While special frames, lockets or coffee mugs make attractive photo gifts, these items might be over-used. After all, it seems that everyone has at least one photo mug in the kitchen cabinet. Instead, consider printing photos on a canvas bag, poster or t-shirt.

Another great way to make quick photo gifts is to get your images printing on canvas. Canvas prints create a lasting keepsake that will create a stunning focal point. The distinctive look of a photo on canvas brings a timeless, classy look to any room, especially when done with older or sepia tone photographs. Photos on canvas are typically done through the fine art giclee printing process.

Whatever items you choose, photo gifts will show your loved one that you cared enough to spend the time and effort of creating a gift as unique as the recipient.
