Thanks to our loyal customers, we have had the pleasure of custom framing millions (literally) of photos, pieces of art, and objects. In turn, we have endless inspiration and proven ideas to help guide you through the holidays. Yes, you really can frame a gift for everyone on your list. We’ll show you how.

Make the old feel new

Your family checklist starts here. Photos with that feeling of home for the holidays. Never having to search for Nan’s recipe again. Their most precious moments, remembered. Create uniquely personal gifts only you can give.

How we frame it

Rich American hardwoods or silver and gold frames, hand-leafed in Italy, are complementary classics to family heirlooms and archived letters. And, for your most special objects, float mounting makes a stunning statement.

Showcase those souvenirs

Relive that road trip, recall those honeymoon highs, remind them of that epic 10-course meal. For the most unexpected gifts this year, simply turn to the things you have sitting in boxes, drawers, or on your phone. 

How we frame it

Intriguing objects deserve equally eye-catching frames. Choose from brightly colored lacquered designs, a rounded tortoise-shell pattern finish, and many more sophisticated, design-forward styles.

Relive the “i do” moments 

A favorite wedding photo never fails and a Ketubah deserves pride of place on a wall. But those embossed invitations, the painstakingly perfect menu, or the mother-of-the-bride’s speech also make thoughtful gifts for anyone who partook in a wedding this year. 

How we frame it

Personalize dates, locations, even map coordinates with an engraved brass plate or a printed mat caption. And for those really personal and significant details, we also offer a hidden story pocket add-on. Learn more.

Help them brag on

The all-nighters. The hours of practice. The accolades they never talk about. From recent grads to newborn parents or someone who ran a marathon in ‘76, do them a favor and frame their wins and their glory.

How we frame it

Our Providence and Cambridge styles offer classic scholarly allure and make a perfect match for diplomas and other official printed and signed documents. Alternately, burl wood styles like Cairo and Lawrence offer style and class.

Gather things they love

The feeling of being six. Every patch collected. The flea market find that’s still unframed. There are so many prized possessions we hang onto that never see the light of day. Why not surprise someone by turning their passion into a one-of-a-kind gift?
