Why not use your camera to create a personal Valentine's Day gift for your sweetheart this year? Now is the time to plan your gift to ensure you have enough time to order it and have it delivered before the big day. Men are notoriously difficult to buy gifts for. A photo gift is a great option if you don't know what to buy your man. Women love to have photos of their sweethearts and children around them, making a photo gift a great gift for a woman as well as a man. Not only is a photo gift personal, but it demonstrates that you have really put a lot of thought into your gift, instead of rushing out at the last minute to buy a box of chocolates or flowers.
There are so many things you can apply photos to these days that it is worth spending some time reviewing what is available to you. Instead of buying a card at the store why not start with printing up a card yourself with a picture on it. This is virtually free if you have your own printer and something that you and your children can have fun creating together. You can take the same image and apply it to a mug, a key chain, or even a fleece blanket for a surprise matching gift.
If you wish to spend a little more money, you can order sterling silver jewelry with your choice of photo on it. What woman wouldn't love to receive a beautiful charm bracelet adorned with photos of her children? A photo of all her children on a necklace is also a good gift idea. If you are looking for something a little more substantial and you have a great quality image, you can have a large poster size canvas printed for your home. A favourite family photo in black and white would be great for this. Or do a series of photos for a room in your home, in either black and white or colour. These can be wrap around canvas posters to eliminate the need for frames. If you have the budget, though, why not get these beautiful photos framed?
Often the question that many people ask is what is the best type of photo for a photo gift? Depending on what gift you are ordering there are some important things to remember. The best quality photos will produce the best image on your gift. For instance, if you are putting the faces of your children on a charm bracelet or necklace you need to upload a clear photo with great lighting for the best results. A good digital camera [http://estore.canon.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/subCategory_12152_10102_-24_10594] should give you a quality image that you can use. A photo from your phone may not give you the results you are hoping for as these images can be grainy. If you are creating something with a very small image, like a piece of jewelry, choose a small image like a child's face as opposed to a large scenic shot to get the best result. Conversely, if you are having a blanket printed choose a large image for the best effect. When in doubt, use your inkjet printer [http://estore.canon.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/subCategory_12152_10102_-24_10669] to check the quality of the image before you make your final decision.
