All of us experienced the pain of not being able to decide what to get as a gift. No matter if it’s your mother, best friend, or just acquaintance from work, no matter if it’s Christmas, birthday or a wedding, there’s always this dilemma hanging in the air – what to get? In many cases we go for a safe/practical option. But haven’t you yourselves been a victim of such gifts? Plate sets, warm socks, candles, photo album…this makes you think your friends or family have no imagination but it’s your turn you do exactly the same mistake.
Here’s an idea of how, in an easy way create an original gift with a use of a collage photo frame.
It would require knowing the person fairly well. If it’s the member of your family – all you have to do is to look for the right photographs of them. They might be from different periods, different location – make sure they are personal in a way. If you appear on the photos, even better – the composition will be a statement of your relationship with the person. Arrange them in a collage frame – you can order them online or look in an interior design store.
In case you know the one who will be granted the present only slightly, whether it’s a new colleague from work or a friend of a friend, you might still use the idea. Have other’s invited for the celebration to collaborate. It might be a grand concept to have a composition of photos of each of you in one frame. This would be a first step of making a closer friendship to this person. Better yet – you could arrange a special photo-shooting session especially for the purpose which could be a lot of fun.
Such frame will not only be a sentimental and original gift. If you make sure the frame has the right design and matches with the photographs and choose the best images it will also serve a practical and aesthetical purpose once hanged on the wall. And you have it for granted that it won’t be forgotten and when your time comes to receive a present you might get some originality back. Enjoy.
