Sometimes it can be difficult to create a family portrait that is unique or different. The standard portrait with the family standing in front of some fake, fabricated scene can feel drab and boring. Taking the photo yourself may be impossible, and you probably don’t have a professional photographer in the family. The following are a few ideas for some unique and meaningful family portraits that could easily become a family heirloom for many years to come.

When putting together a family portrait wall filled with individual photos of members of the family, don’t forget to include the member of the family who often goes overlooked – the family pet! While taking a photo yourself, framing it, and putting it up on the wall will do the trick – nothing is quite as eye-catching as a painted portrait created of your much-loved family pet. This is becoming a very popular method of capturing the character and personality of the family pet in a format that is often breathtaking.  Don’t forget to look in our PICTURE FRAME section for that perfect frame.

In the late 18th century, the fashion for decorative buttons, watches, and snuff boxes almost superseded the wearing of jewelry.  After 1800 the braelet, which had dwindled (c.1500) in importance with the ruffed and cuffed long sleeve, was again in favor.  The 19th century also saw the revival of the cameo and the introduction of the watch and chain and sets of jewelry.  With the introduction of factory-made ornaments, artistry of workmanship declined.  In the 20th century platinum beccame popular for settings.  Costume jewelry, whick followed the rapidly changing fashions in dress, was introduced (by Gabrielle Chanel), as was the wristwatch.  There was a renewal of enthusiasm for hand wrought pieces during the craft revival of the 1960's in the United States. 

Today when you think of Jewelry, you think of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and cufflinks to represent rank, wealth or to fashion.  Weddings, birthdays, family, friendship or any day is an occassion for jewelry.  'GIFTS AROUND THE CORNER' has PERSONALIZED jewelry for the whole family or friends with no extra charge.  We also have some items that are not personalized such as,. silver pendants with necklaces, assorted stone bracelets, pewter assorted necklaces and bracelets, three strand pearl necklaces, earrings  and bracelets.

Jewelry also needs a special place to keep them.  A personalized jewelry trinket box or decorative wooden jewelry box are excellent choices. 

The most common and easiest option is to take a bottle of wine. However, you can be different with your housewarming gift by choosing other wine related gifts such as coasters and wine ID tags. These are both unique and will definitely be put to use now or in the future. If you are willing to shop around, there are many funky and interesting coasters and wine tags available.

Picture Frames are also very common housewarming gifts or how about a Personalized Picture Frame.  You could consider personalized popart. These are unique, classy and thoughtful gifts and are guaranteed to stand out. Personalized art can be expensive. However, there are many different types of personalized art from Silhouettes to Retropop art that are less pricey. Sizes can also make a big difference to the price. So with careful searches, you will be able to find a personalized gift to suit your budget. Another idea to bear in mind when cost is an issue is to contribute to a group housewarming present whether it is for a co-worker or a friend.

Home décor gifts are also very popular but be careful especially when you are not sure if the gift will fit into the whole scheme and taste of the new home. Certain items such as candles are considered safe. However, mood glow candles are more interesting than traditional candles. Furthermore, why not take some home products that are bound to be welcomed and used such as olive oil, organic soaps, coffee or teas. If the host loves gardening, fix up a gift basket of seeds of his or her favorite veggies or flowers and throw in some gardening tools and gloves.

Some people like to send flowers. I would prefer a gift basket of some sort. A selection of his or her favorite chocolates, fruits or goodies would make a nice housewarming gift. At least you can be sure that your gift will be enjoyed for a few more days longer.

Finally, if you are unsure what to get, why not get a Gift Certificate from his or her favorite store or even from a gift shop where they can spend towards buying gifts. If they like to wine and dine, why not get a dinner for 2 at a hip restaurant in the neighborhood or if they like to cook, a cook book with a personal message would make a very meaningful housewarming gift.

Don’t be afraid to be a little creative and adventurous with your gift ideas and give them a gift that will always make them smile and think of you!

Memories often fade and the best way to keep in constant touch with our past is to preserve framed pictures around us.  Picture frames lend support, protection and artistic credibility.  Without a frame to support it, the picture would hang limp on the wall or fold up if put on the table.  Pictures and meant to be protected and preserved, and frames are the best protection against direct light, moisture and contact.  Every time we touch an unframed picture we risk spoiling it through the natural acids in our hands.

A picture frame lends artistic credibilty to your efforts, and emphasizes colors, features and the place where the photograph was taken.  A great picture loses its worth if purchased in a plastic frame purchased at the flea market, or placing a black-and-white photograph or picture in an ornate gold frame.  Both would look out of place with the frame overshadowing the picture.  We offer a wide variety of frames to suit any photograph, from black-and-white picture to a scenery photograph.  We also offer Personalized Picture Frames.
