Mother's Day Canvas Print Gifts |
All our mothers are unique, and the gifts you give them on Mother's Day should be, too! Why not do away with traditional gifts of bubble bath and jewellry, and give her something special and unexpected this year. A gallery wrapped canvas print is something she'll treasure for years to come.
Create a masterpiece from an old family photograph, or present her with a collage of various memories encapsulated within a single frame. Prints are available in different sizes, on high-quality textured canvas, gallery wrapped or framed using our custom picture framing services.
PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT
It's always more fun to receive a creative, personal gift than a generic one. And it's usually just as much fun for the gift giver to pick out a really special, meaningful present.
There are plenty of ways you can figure out the best canvas print to give your mom or another special woman in your life. Just remember you want to give them something you know they'll like, not just something you'd want! Some tips:
- How is her home decorated? Is she a bold, color splash kind of person, with bright walls and eclectic art, or does she prefer calm pastels and traditional wall decor? Go for an image that suits the existing style.
- Is she planning any renovations soon, or mentioned a specific wall that's just too empty for her taste? Sneak in a measuring tape and record the size of the space you're planning to fill, so you can be sure you've got the dimensions right (it's harder to eyeball that than you might think)!
- If she has just moved or lives far away, and you have yet to see her home, talk to friends and family who have. Maybe that regular guest knows about upcoming renovations, an empty space above the couch just begging for a shot of the grandkids, or has heard mention of a skyline or nature shot she'd love to display. You can also casually ask for some pictures of the new place!
- Don't forget to think about the presentation. Does she tend to go with one big piece of art on each wall, or does she seem to prefer groupings of smaller images? You don't want to present someone who enjoys tasteful 18x24" images with a massive 4 foot by 6 foot canvas.
Does she already have a number of unframed canvases hanging in her home? If so, you might choose to stick with that crisp, modern style, or pick out one of our beautiful canvas floater frames to accompany the print.
- If you don't have access to the perfect image, or for any other reason you're unable to select a canvas print or frame, why not let them pick their own, on you! We offer Gift Certificates in custom denominations. We can send the recipient the code via email, or print a physical certificate and mail it straight to them!
Whatever your budget, or relationship with the recipient, when you put real thought into your gift, your efforts will be recognized and appreciated.

HISTORY OF MOTHER'S DAY
The origins of a day that celebrates mothers can be traced back to the Ancient Greek celebration of the maternal goddesses - primarily Rhea, mother of Zeus - and the spring festival of Hilaria, which honored Cybele.
The British celebration of Mothering Sunday is the more direct connection, however. Held shortly before Easter each year, beginning in the 1600s, Mothering Sunday culminated in children bringing forth flowers and gifts in honor of their mothers. Many other nations have also long recognized similar holidays.
Though Mothering Sunday was rarely practiced by the end of the 19th century, it grew popular again following World War II, primarily as a commercial holiday used to drive sales.
Regardless of the original intentions, it's hard to deny a day of giving thanks to the woman who birthed you, burped you, and taught you how to brush your teeth!
