A canvas print is the kind of Christmas gift which will be truly appreciated by one and all. Visually appealing, sumptuous and extravagant, it’s the kind of gift which says you’ve taken time and trouble in choosing it. How much more impact would such a gift have, however, if it’s a one off, especially made work of art?

Many people like to decorate the walls of their home with canvas prints as a means of expressing something of their personality as well as achieving an aesthetic and artistic impact. That’s why it makes such a fantastic gift idea, since it’s something which the recipient will look at every day of their life, and which will therefore bring pleasure for many years to come. Despite these positives, there are a few down sides to buying such a print as a gift and this lies mainly in the choice, which can be limited, and the fact that the print you’re giving will be a mass produced image which is also hanging on a thousand other walls. The alternative to this, of course, is to opt for a one off work of art but the price of this kind of art is prohibitive, placing it well outside the reach of most ordinary people. The answer to this conundrum lies in the world of photos on canvas, a major leap forward in digital photography and online photo manipulation which means that you can choose any images you like and have them turned into canvas photo prints.

The technology used to put your photo on canvas will ensure a professionally printed image of the highest possible quality, boasting the kind of rich colours and sharp imagery that you’d normally expect to see on the walls of a gallery or selling for many hundreds of pounds. The possibilities opened up by this technology are endless. You may opt to make a gift for someone using one of their own photos- perhaps a snap of their children which will replicate the quality of a standard studio portrait but with the added joy and spontaneity of as candid shot taken while they play at the park or chase each other round the garden. Photo canvas prints are mounted on well made, sturdy wooden frames and the image is printed to the very edge of the canvas which is then stretched behind the frame for that ‘wrap around’ effect so often seen in high class galleries and expensive top of the range art shops. The possibilities for a gift like this are as varied as the photos we take – from holiday snaps to dramatic landscape shots, you can turn any image of your choice into a one off, bespoke work of personal art which will touch the heart of anyone who receives it. Anyone with children will know the wonderful warm feeling of happiness crated when they make a gift for you such as a special picture painted at school, well this is a way of capturing that special feeling and allying it to something which is a prestige, luxury item of art which has clearly come from the heart.

When you want to give a gift which will continue to delight and surprise for many years to come, canvas photo prints are the perfect option for combining the personal with the artistically impressive in a way which will truly show how much you care.
