Great Gift Ideas for Him

1. Canvas Art
   Convert his 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.
2. The Heirloom
   Surprise him with his 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.

3. The Art Lover
   There's a sensational tool in Print & Frame disguised as just another filter…but in fact, this specialty filter instantly converts an average photograph into what appears to be a true oil painting! This impression yields especially well to dreamy landscapes. Turn up the whisper with three different brush sizes.
4. The Keepsake Keeper
   It's difficult to part with a collection of special possessions. At first glance, these items may seem to have no value, but each man has his own reasons for hanging on to his coin collection, baseball cards and other memorabilia. Show him that you care about what he cares about; secure keepsakes in shadowboxes, a clever way to pull his collection out and show it off. Don't forget to order a colorful mat board to which you can attach his mementos.

5. Guestbook on Display
   His 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
   Some guys don't know that they have style...they've never visited the Mirror Shop! Trusted by designers and do-it-yourselfers, Mirror Shop lets you match our famous frames with almost any custom-size mirror that he desperately needs. The many styles will do wonders for his fireplace, hallway, or "throne room."

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 his favorite song, mat and frame it and give him 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. Office Makeover
   Forty hours a week in a dull office? We think not. Help him 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 he 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 his office. Checkout what Martha Stewart's Blueprint magazine did with our silver Studio frame!
10. Poster Art
    There's no doubt about it – a great mat and frame presentation can make even his Star Wars poster look like serious décor. Give his favorite poster the royal treatment for an unbelievable transformation and a great gift.
11. The Wall of Success
    You're so proud of his achievements and you're looking for a special way to recognize his hard work. Share the news of his success by putting his diplomas and certificates on display. Create displays in Personal Frame Shop; get personal with mats in school colors and frames that speak to the graduate’s fashion sense. Finally, present these impressive gifts to him to hang where he pleases.
12. Certified!
    By creating a custom collage mat, you can display his birth certificate, baptismal certificate and marriage certificate all in one frame. Draw the design yourself for the breathtaking custom-made gift.
13. Golden Memories
    He's reached a milestone, so celebrate by framing a wedding photo and anniversary photo in one frame. Create the perfect presentation with a custom collage mat.
14. Reel to Real
    The family once gathered around his projector to relive precious memories. Where are those amazing slides now? Many home scanners have a special compartment for slides so you can enlarge the images in Print & Frame, creating a unique gift he'll never see coming.
15. The Album Debut
    Did you know that you can get mats in all kinds of shapes? Order a round opening for the record and a square opening for the sleeve. What a striking presentation.
16. The Archives
    Most newspapers make it easy to order the cover page from a certain day. Remind him of his place in history by framing the New York Times or another paper from the day he was born.
17. Life is a Journey
    A life map is a gathering of symbolic images that represent the way one wants their life to 'feel.' If he has created a Life Map, frame it for him, lest he never forget.
18. Decorate with a Full Deck
    If he loves playing cards, think about enlarging and framing the design and lucky numbers in Print & Frame. If he is moved by the art of tarot cards, frame his best reading. Most decks of these mystical cards are tiny pieces of art.
19. "You Are Here"
    For the guy who has everything, 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.

20. 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 him alone. 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 he'll never forget.
21. Everyone's a Winner!
    Is there a Monopoly fan in the house? Here's a project that's sure to get rave results: carefully glue money, properties and game pieces to a board as if people are in the middle of a game creating a whimsical end result.

22. The Funny Guy
    A caricature will put a smile on his face. Frame it in a colorful metal frame, like one from our Carnival, Luscious Lacquers or Rainbow collections, for a fun presentation.
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… sheet music from your wedding day, a long-forgotten love letter, or an original poem that expresses your love for him. 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. "Stock" Up
    Here's a practical tip: instead of traditional necktie and cufflinks, buy stock in his favorite company and frame the certificate. Use your Personal Frame Shop to find a sophisticated frame and mat ensemble for your venture. If he's a pragmatic fellow, this will be a surprising and welcome gift and quite a "bond"-ing experience.
