Photo to Canvas gifts?

[Marxy0101]

I have wanted to get a great gift for a birthday present and I think that a photo on canvas would be great. I've seen the prints at www.photo-print-on-canvas.com (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/www.photo-print-on-canvas.com) and wondered if these sizes were right. What size print should I aim for as I don't want to spend too much money but do want it to be a thoughtful gift.

"What size print should I aim for as I don't want to spend too much money but do want it to be a thoughtful gift."

Not so small it looks stingy and not so big it looks silly. I would say, from my own experience, that about 20x20 inches, 24x16 inches... or something like that makes a great personalised gift.

I would also like to add a word about photo-print-on-canvas.com. They have really low prices, but they don't mention much about quality issues. They mention cotton canvas, but that could mean a lot of things. Also, they don't mention what kind of stretcher bars they use or if the print will receive a protective coating or not.

http://www.mcanvasprints.co.uk/ provide canvas prints at almost identical prices as photo-print-on-canvas, but you can read on the website about the material they use and how the prints are produced. It might be a safer bet... either that, or you ask photo-print-on-canvas some detailed questions to clarify these areas.
