As a mom of four, I know one of the things that makes me the happiest is getting a good picture of my children. I have spent thousands of dollars getting professional pictures done over the years, but often times I find my own home pictures are actually better and more natural. But printing those pictures is a hassle and I can't print jumbo copies that I can hang on my walls. That's where Gallery Direct comes in. They take your home photos and turn them into a high quality print on a real canvas that is nicer than anything you'll get at a picture studio for a fraction of the price.
For my review, I was sent a gift code for $200 so that I could experience the full Gallery Direct service. I have tried doing the canvas thing before, but honestly it was just too much work, and I got frustrated. You would have to adjust the picture to fit to the frame just right and do self editing, and I am just not that internet savvy or artistic. But Gallery Direct makes it incredibly easy. All I had to do was upload my favorite photo. I didn't have to adjust the picture at all because their system did it for me automatically. There was no editing, and absolutely no hassle. Once the picture was loaded, I was able to choose between a full color print, black and white, or old fashioned sepia. I went with color, but you can preview how each color will look to help you decide. You can also pick the size of your canvas from with sizes going as large as 24 x19 for a gallery wrap, making it easy to get just the right size for whatever space your working with. You can choose from a variety of frames, paper types, and acrylic for an additional fee.
Once I was done with the ordering process, I proceeded to a secure check out where I was happy to see shipping was a reasonable price (and was actually free at the time due to a special offer). I received the finished product a few days later. I was very happy with the whole shopping experience and I am very excited about getting this beautiful canvas. With the holidays coming, a canvas would make a wonderful gift for any mother or grandmother, and you can have it shipped right to their door. And right now would be the perfect time to start shopping because they are currently offering 50% canvas gallery wraps, 33% off everything else, and free shipping now through 11/30/11 on every order!
Gallery Direct is perfect for all your special photos, whether its your children, wedding photos, a beautiful landscape, or even your four legged friends. Take all your favorite photos off your hard drive and turn them into something amazing. In addition to adding your own photos, you can also browse their art collection for some unique gift ideas. To keep up with future events and promotions, be sure to follow them on twitter or become their fan on face book.
