Fear not, KeenART Media is here to help. A Giclée Canvas Print is an excellent option for a unique, personalized birthday present they're bound to love. Who doesn't like pictures?

The choice is entirely yours. Family photo, fun candid shot, a destination they love, a copy of a classic artwork they've always admired. You know them well enough to find a beautiful picture - yours, theirs, or borrowed - that they will cherish and be proud to display for decades!

Just remember to sing to them as they open it:

Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday Dear (insert name here)
Happy Birthday to You!

PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT

The image, the size, the display - these are all important things to consider when choosing wall decor as a gift. It should be something the recipient will love, not just something you'd like yourself! Here are some tips for selecting the best piece for that lucky birthday girl or boy:

• Snoop around their house. Not into drawers and closets, but try to get a feel for the decorating scheme. If they like simple wallpapers and light shades, go for a picture in this same vein. Are they more into bold colors and styles? Choose a photo that reflects this wilder version of their personalities.

• Bring up home decor-related conversations, and then listen. Do they mention an area they wish was better decorated? How about a color scheme in the planning stages? If a blank wall is a subject of despair, sneak a measurement so you can order an artwork of the perfect size.

• Concerned about picking the right thing? Consider ordering a small image. No less thoughtful or eye-catching, a little 10x10" or 15x20" print fits perfectly in the front hall, office, or stairwell, and won't take over. Or, if you really have no idea, you can always just ask! It might not be a complete surprise, but it won't be any less appreciated.

• Still stuck? Why not opt for something that suits the special day? A celebration of their upcoming age (best for children - some adults might take offence!), a fun image from their birthday party last year, or a sweet poem or song lyrics that speaks to how much they mean to you.

• Once you've settled on the image, consider the presentation. Do they already have a number of canvases hanging in the home? If so, you might choose to stick with that display, or pick out one of our beautiful canvas floater frame to accentuate the picture.

• 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!
