While hanging art on the wall is mainly used to hide safes containing Napoleon's long-lost sandblaster, occasionally the practice is used for decoration. Experiment with this obscure decorative device with today's Groupon: for $39, you get a personalized 16"x20" canvas (a $109.99 value), plus shipping and handling (a $14.95 value), from CafePress, redeemable online (a $124.94 total value).
CafePress provides an array of inventive, humorous, and customizable clothing and gifts. Its photos-to-canvas service allows photographers to turn one of their prized pictures into a work of canvas art. After you submit your photograph online, a CafePress artist will scour the image to improve sharpness, brightness, contrast, and color balance. CafePress uses only archival inks and coatings, guaranteeing the image will not fade for 75 years or until Rocky XII comes out. The finished image will come wrapped around a 1.5-inch-thick canvas with a real-wood frame that will arrive at the door ready to hang on a living-room wall.
Thanks to an iron-clad guarantee of satisfaction, CafePress customers can shop with the confidence of an invisible knight on a field of giant eyeballs. With speedy service ensuring the museum-quality canvas is shipped within two or three days, you can use the newly enlarged picture as a family-friendly gift.
