Great Gift Ideas for Her

1. The Heirloom
   Surprise her with her favorite photo…renovated. Use the fun and easy editing tools in Print & Frame to apply a color wash (choose from Black & White, Sepia Tone, Red, Green or Blue) and an edgy brushstroke border. Add a wide mat and a contemporary style frame to complete the gift.
2. The Art Lover
   Have you ever wanted to give her an original oil painting for inspired by her favorite photo? Now you can! When editing your image in Print & Frame, it only takes one click to turn a snapshot into an oil painting. Choose between three different brush sizes. A grand golden frame, such as those from our Plein Air, Golden Treasures or Versailles collections, will polish the final piece.

3. Canvas Art
   Convert her photo into art on canvas with the hottest trend in modern décor today: Gallery Wrap. After you digitally upload the image, it is transferred to canvas and stretched around the edges to create a stand-alone work of art. Of course, Gallery Wrap images also look sleek and contemporary in our metal or wood Canvas Floater Frames.
4. The Keepsake Keeper
   If she has been storing her beloved collectables away, it’s time to pull them out and dust them off. Show her that you care about what she cares about. Secure her treasures in shadowbox frames that display the trinkets she can never part with. Don’t forget to order a colorful mat board to which you can attach her cherished items.

5. Guestbook on Display  Her party will last for years to come when you use an oversized mat as a guestbook. Order a lightly colored oversized mat that will hold a standard size picture and frame. Have guests use a ballpoint pen or thin marker to write personal messages on the mat and later put the presentation together with a photo from the event. To make it easy for you, order the perfect ensemble in the Personal Frame Shop.
6. Reflective Style
   Because each woman has an individual style all her own, Mirror Shop matches our famous frames with almost any custom size mirror that she’s looking for. These gifts come in almost any size and style, so you’re sure to find the ideal gift for the first time homeowner or the forever redecorator.

7. Melody on the Wall
   Songs have the ability to cast us back to incredible moments of life. Romantic moments, school fight songs and hymns have forever been immortalized by those perceptive and creative people who see the artistry in sheet music. Find the sheet music to her favorite song, mat and frame it and give her this intimate gift.
8. Red or White?
   Today, wine makers go to great lengths to make sure the label on the bottle justly represents the bold flavors that lie within. Personalized labels, beautiful artwork and fancy script are used to decorate and entice you to indulge. Soak off the pretty labels of bottles from a memorable celebration and then frame them with complementary earth toned mats.

9. 1,000 Words
   It has been said that a picture tells a thousand words, but sometimes, simple words are stronger. Frame diary entries, poetry, and hand written letters. A favorite prayer or meditation is sure to be treasured.
10. Office Makeover
    Forty hours a week in a dull office? We think not. Help her feel more at home by framing a basic cork or dry erase board. For a refined, professional look, go for a frame from the Studio collection. If she has a flare for elegance, try a style from the Windsor collection. Of course, a little browsing of our website will prove we have the perfect style for her office. Checkout what Martha Stewart’s Blueprint magazine did with our silver Studio frame!
11. Perfume Tray
    Are her lovely perfume bottles sitting directly on the vanity? Try setting them on a chic framed mirror for a look that is a true reflection of her personality.

12. Scrapbook on the Wall
    Scrapbooking has become an art unto itself; a special way to collect and display our memories for generations to enjoy. Sometimes, they're just too good to go into an album. Frame a scrap book page and give it to the person who inspired it.
13. The Wall of Success
    You're so proud of her achievements and you're looking for a special way to recognize her hard work. Share the news of her success by putting her diplomas and certificates on display.

20. "You Are Here"
    Try this gift that works well on so many levels: a framed map. Ancient maps are stunning when surrounded by an antiqued frame and new maps are great gifts for retracing a recent vacation, welcoming a friend to a new state or other celebrations.

21. Botanicals
    If she loves receiving flowers, give her some that will never wilt. Find great images of her favorite flowers from books in your personal collection, wall calendars, or other "free art." Then scan and upload them into Print & Frame. There, you’ll be able to play with cropping, the addition of colorful filters and artistic edges – all enhancing the finished image and enabling you to make a work of art just for her. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can try scanning actual flowers right on a flatbed scanner. Try popular ferns, flowers, and roots. Then, print and frame your final images separately and give them to her in "a bunch."
22. Decorate with a Full Deck
    If she loves playing cards, think about enlarging and framing the designs and lucky numbers in Print & Frame. If she is moved by the art of tarot cards, frame her best reading. Most decks of these mystical cards are tiny pieces of art.
23. Vintage Tea-Staining
    To make a special gift even more special, try your hand at tea-staining paper, which lends a romantic, vintage look, and present it in an elegant mat and frame ensemble from Personal Frame Shop. Great candidates for tea-staining include anything with significance to your relationship… a long-forgotten love letter, sheet music from your wedding day, or an original poem that expresses your love for her. This gift is all about the delicate details, so choose a frame that complements your handiwork. Play with double mats and fun frames in Personal Frame Shop. Save your favorite combinations to My Gallery and you’ll be able to compare presentations and prices. To Tea Stain: Simply steep black tea bags in boiling hot water, soak the paper in the solution for ½ hour, or brush the tea directly onto your document, and lay flat to dry.

24. The Love Letter
    If you do your own printing at home, visit Personal Frame Shop, and create a "canvas" for a love letter. Simply select an oversized mat (at least 5" wide on each side) to surround a beloved photo of the two of you together, or one of her alone, in a moment of bliss. Then, choose a frame that pulls the entire piece together. When your mat and frame arrive, you’ll be able write your own love letter on that oversized mat, pop your cherished image in the back and close it all up; creating a heartfelt gift she'll never forget.
25. Life is a Journey
    A life map is a gathering of symbolic images that represent the way one wants their life to "feel." If she has created a Life Map, frame it for her, lest she never forget.

    • Back in the Day

      Why not create a love-themed collage full of precious moments and special memories? Each bit and picture you add to your collage will bring back touching memories in a flash. For texture, add slender trinkets, letters, ticket stubs and other pieces that express things you love about her and experiences you've shared. Include a menu or business card from that restaurant where you had your first date, a leaf from the tree where you kissed, e-mails and love letters you exchanged, petals from the flowers you gave her (we're sure she's saved them!) and so much more.
    • Angelic Objects
