Printing Artwork On Canvas And 5 Other Ways To Personalise Gifts

The canvas print is the most popular of all photo gifts. It is a high quality item that offers truly breathtaking photo realism and reproduction levels that are vastly superior to the results generated when printing on paper at home. As well as the standard single canvas print, you can also have montage prints created incorporating many of your best pictures. Another alternative is converting colour photos to black and white or having a unique pop art print created. Montages and pop art conversions can also be added to these 5 photo gift ideas.

1 – Photo Books And Albums

The cover and presentation tin of the photo book and photo album can be customised with your design or photo. You can also add text to further personalise the cover and add a personalised greeting. While the photo album enables you or the recipient to add your own choice of photos, the photo book offers you the opportunity to pick the pictures and then have them printed directly onto the pages of the book.

2 – Photo Calendars

The photo calendar is a highly customisable item because you can design the cover as well as each of the monthly pages. Choose a photo and accompanying caption for each of the months of the year and design the cover by including another photo and a title. Pick the month in which the calendar should start and you can create a photo gift item that is perfect for Christmas, birthdays, and any other celebration.

3 – Photo Bags

Use a pop art conversion or a standard photo print and have it added to the front of a photo bag. The standard design layout of any bag, a range which includes handbags, makeup bags, and even laptop bags, is to choose a photo for one side of the bag. However, you may also opt to print a second picture on the other side of the bag to make it even more personal.

4 – Photo Cushions And Blankets

Many items of home furnishing or soft furnishing can be customised in a similar fashion. Cushions and blankets offer you the opportunity to add a photo on one side and pick a colour for the other; again, though, you can for a little extra choose to have the same or another picture printed on the back of the item.

5 – Photo Blocks And Digital Frames

Photo blocks and digital frames are modern versions of the traditional framed photo. Your photo is printed directly on to the self standing resin photo block making it lightweight, safe, and convenient. Alternatively, a digital photo frame can be used to store hundreds or even thousands of pictures. The recipient can choose display a single favourite photo or all of them in a timed slideshow.
