Printing your photos on stretched canvas can provide the look and feel of fine art.  As

Personal Creations puts it, “Just upload your photo and we'll transform it into a masterpiece.”  Personal Creations prices start at $39.95 for an unframed, 11” x 14” canvas print. 

Shutterfly makes photo canvases available in bigger sizes, starting at 16” x 20” for $89.99.  Shutterfly also has a 20” x 30” size for $129.99, and a massive 24” x 36” size for $149.99. These are unframed, but since the image is wrapped around the top, bottom, and both sides of the wood backing, framing isn’t really required (see above).  I prefer the unframed look, these canvases have more of a fine art appearance, since photos are often displayed this way in galleries.

As these are obviously very large prints, be sure to upload the highest resolution available, to get the best print quality.

People who have family photos plastered all over the place kinda scare me. It's nice to remember family events and whatnot, but do you really need someone staring back at you every time you drink coffee or move your mouse? Photos on stamps, I suppose if you are going to bombard friends with photocards at holidays, why not add a photo to the stamp as well.

How much of this stuff ends up on display at moms house just cause you're still her child and she doesn't want to hurt your feelings? Like those macaroni pictures and hand-crafted pencil holders you used to make at school? I think the tech gifts for mom were much more practical, assuming she would actually use them.

I don't know if anyone wants to plaster the house with this stuff, and hey, it isn't for everyone, but I think many of these are great "one time" gifts for a mom or grandma. Also, sometimes it just interesting to see what is out there in terms of online retail. I know I was surprised by some of these!

Alright, photo footballs!

I don't even know my mother and I wouldn't be up for that. Also, $15 for a keychain?!
