When something important happens to someone important to you, it is natural to want to join in the celebrations and express your joy for that someone special.
The tricky part is finding the ideal gift.
Any time that you feel the need to buy a card for a life event but it doesn’t seem to make the cut without a little something extra special, consider a picture frame as a complimentary gift.
You may not have a photo, but if it’s important to someone you know, they will have a photo. All they need is a little encouragement to get it off a smartphone, onto paper, and into a picture frame.
Then the memory is preserved for decades!
Consider the following events as ideal times when Picture Frames are terrific gift choices
For weddings
Granted, the bride and groom will often use a photographer and choose their own photo frames either from the photographer, or a framer the photography studio is partnered with; for the prized photo especially. The one they want to have pride of place on their wall.
Not all photos are framed though. The best of the collection will be with others printed in smaller sizes. Asides from the couples’ best picks, other nostalgic items can be framed. For the creative types, it could be a leaf from the floral bouquet that is flattened, press-dried, and framed for display either separately or as part of a gallery display.
At milestone celebrations like weddings that have an impact on more than the couple, photo frames are terrific gifts for the parents of the newlyweds too. They will want a quality frame to display a photo of the couple on their big day.
When considering frames as gifts for celebratory events, such as the parents of newlyweds, consider the sizes they are likely to already have plans for. They are likely to invest in a good-sized quality photo frame for their favourite pick of the photos that they want to preserve.
The gifting choice for frames are the smaller sizes like 7” x 5” and 8” x 10” picture frames that can slot nicely onto a shelf display, side mantel, or on a bookcase. These let people frame the best of the rest, whether that is the photos taken by the pros, or from others at the event.
For milestones in life
Life is filled with milestone events. From graduation days to passing a driving test, buying a first car, buying a first home, engagements, marriages, and newborn photos, then collages of children get created in photos capturing their milestone events from the first strand of hair to the first baby tooth.
Picture frames are tremendous gifts to preserve all those memories that are worth treasuring. The photo beside the learner's car on pass day, to the frame used to professionally display a Diploma.
All the things that can be said in a card, can be better preserved in a picture that gets housed in a photo frame.
Ultimately, frame for Memories
The core purpose of picture frames is for preservation. Preservation of photos, art, and anything on paper that needs to be protected to prevent images from deteriorating. Photos are memories so framing a photo is preserving a memory. Or memories in the case of multi-aperture picture frames.
For any event that someone would like to remember decades later in life, print and frame options are the best way to lock those memories inside a protective enclosure. Photo frames are much more robust than a photo album.
