Grandparent's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. It's a day to make sure you call your grandma or grandpa - or any other special senior in your life - to let them know how much you love and appreciate them.
And while you're thinking about them, why not order a Giclée Canvas Print of a photograph or favorite image. Our high quality, long-lasting prints will grace their wall for decades, and be the perfect reminder of their favorite grandchild!
Big or small, painting or photograph, a canvas print is an excellent alternative to a framed print. By forgoing the heavy frame and breakable glass, you get a simple, modern artwork that will last for decades. The true texture of the canvas gives paintings an authentic look, and adds dimension and interest to photographs.
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.
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 a unique Grandparent's Day gift:
- 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 edgier version of their personality.
- 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.
- If you're unable to browse yourself, make use of your own knowledge or chat with other people who know them. What hobbies does the lucky person enjoy? A beautiful mountain vista may be the perfect choice for an avid hiker, while a bucolic country or forest scene will be appreciated by farmers, or people who just love to commune with nature.
- 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.

- 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!
Whatever your budget or relationship with the recipient, put some serious thought into the gift. Your efforts will be recognized and appreciated.
