The choice is entirely yours. Family photo, fun candid shot, a destination they love, a copy of a classic artwork they've always admired. You know them well enough to find a beautiful picture - yours, theirs, or borrowed - that they will cherish and be proud to display for decades!

At KeenART Media, we take the utmost care with every order. You select the image, edge color, canvas depth, and size, and we do the rest! We'll even ship the print directly to the lucky recipient.

PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT

The image, the size, the display - these are all important things to consider when choosing wall decor as a gift. It should be something the recipient will love, not just something you'd like yourself! Here are some tips for selecting the best piece to show how much you care this holiday season:

• Snoop around their house. Not into drawers and closets, but try to get a feel for the decorating scheme. If they like simple wallpapers and light shades, go for a picture in this same vein. Are they more into bold colors and styles? Choose a photo that reflects this wilder version of their personalities.

• Bring up home decor-related conversations, and then listen. Do they mention an area they wish was better decorated? How about a color scheme in the planning stages? If a blank wall is a subject of despair, sneak a measurement so you can order an artwork of the perfect size.

• Concerned about picking the right thing? Consider ordering a small image. No less thoughtful or eye-catching, a little 10x10" or 15x20" print fits perfectly in the front hall, office, or stairwell, and won't take over. Or, if you really have no idea, you can always just ask! It might not be a complete surprise, but it won't be any less appreciated.

• Still stuck? Why not opt for something that suits the special day? A seasonal canvas print can make a lovely addition to their existing decorations. Most people have a designated place where they hang the autumn leaf wreath, the spring flower image, the summer beach photo. A canvas depicting a snowy scene or the family all cozy in their sweaters could be the perfect winter accessory.

• Once you've settled on the image, consider the presentation. Do they already have a number of canvases hanging in the home? If so, you might choose to stick with that display, or pick out one of our beautiful canvas floater frame to accentuate the picture.

• If you don't have access to the perfect image, or for any other reason you're unable to select a canvas print or frame, why not let them pick their own, on you! We offer Gift Certificates in custom denominations. We can send the recipient the code via email, or print a physical certificate and mail it straight to them!

ORDERING

ORIGIN OF MISTLETOE

In Norse mythology, mistletoe is used to by Loki to kill his brother. When Balthur is revived, his mother Frigg is so pleased, she names the plant a symbol of love and promises to kiss anyone who passes beneath it.

In Western cultures, the English serving class are believed to have started the tradition of kissing below the mistletoe. Early customs stated men were allowed to kiss any woman caught beneath a sprig of the decorative plant, with the threat of bad luck if they refused. Other customs involved picking a berry for each kiss. The lip-locking would cease once all the berries were plucked.
