Momma Told Me: Give gifts with meaning.
In today's digital world, sometimes the best gift to give the person who 'has everything' is a personal gift with a custom touch. Thanks to modern technology everyone seems to take thousands of pictures a year without ever thinking twice. They store them on memory cards, desktop folders, and even the cloud- but how often do those cherished photos get fished out of the masses and put to use where guests, friends, and family can admire them? Yes, it's easier than ever to take and view a picture, but an alarmingly large percent of the population is doing little more than hoarding those priceless memories. Just think, it's now more affordable then ever to give a high quality photo gift that well exceeds the traditional 4 x 6" format and lasts a lifetime as a tangible piece of personal art.
I've ordered from a lot of canvas print companies, and they can seem hard to differentiate after a while. When Canvas N' Decor offered me a chance to sample their service with a standard 20 x 24" custom photo print I was hesitant. If you've ordered from one online canvas company before, you might be partial to sticking with what you know. And, granted, if you are working on a theme or set of pieces, you will likely want to get them all printed from the same source, for the sake of integrity. However, I know all too well that not all canvas printing services are equal. Some are very expensive but fast to process, others have an overwhelmingly complicated processing system that causes anxiety simply uploading a picture. And they all have a 'hook.' For Canvas N' Decor it's their everyday low (they really are quite competitive) canvas print prices, and a 200 year no-fade guarantee.
Using the Canvas N' Decor online ordering system I could easily upload my image and view it on the canvas. That is that I could switch between sizes and alter the cropping of my photo with a few simple swipes. I did seem to have trouble figuring out how to turn the canvas so I could see it's natural finish (my vertical picture was horizontal while processing). What I liked most, however, was that I wasn't bombarded will 'extra' options. There were tabs for personalization and photo effects, but they were not in the forefront unless I desired them, keeping the photo processing process simple and efficient for basic canvas prints. After submitting our order we received a shipping update and had our mirror-wrapped canvas in hand in a little less than a week. The piece was protectively packaged with foam corners and a plastic shrink wrap, nestled within bubble wrap in a sturdy box.

Our
Canvas N' Decor print was ready to mount right our of the packaging, with a mounting wire already installed; taking the guesswork out of home decor projects and photo gifts. I love that I can send a custom canvas directly to my grandparents, across the country, and they can place it on their wall with as little as a tap on a nail! We were exceedingly happy with the semi-gloss finish and the precise clarity of the uploaded image, as well as the vibrant color printing.
