Get Ready for Mother’s Day

By

Mother’s Day is special for so many people, and we are pleased, and proud, to offer a selection of picture frames that are perfect for celebrating any mother. Whether a mother, mother-in-law, grandmother or important woman in your life, recognize that special connection with a gift that lets her know how much you care.

A woman’s first Mother’s Day is a milestone in her life and deserves special recognition. Give her a great gift of a treasured family photo in a picture frame that she can display on her dresser as a special keepsake like our silver plated picture frames or jeweled picture frames.

Jeweled Picture Frames will make any Mom feel like a queen and will give her a special frame to hold her favorite family photo.  One jeweled picture frame that’s a customer favorite is our Versaille Gold Picture Frame. This frame comes in 4×6, 5×7 and 8×10 photo sizes and has a beautiful gold enamel and nice jewel accents in the corners. But if that’s not right for the mother in your life, choose an sentiment picture frame that tells her how special she is like this I Love My Mom Picture Frame.

 

If you’re looking for a nice gift for a grandma instead you can always surprise a grandmother with a bright, cheery collage frame filled with photos of her precious grandchildren. Use an archival mat and have the grandkids write a message alongside their photo like with this Tribeca Archival Black Collage Picture Frame.

This archival collage frame makes a great gift because it has an arachival mat, backing and UV glass so it will protect your photos from premature age and fading.

Special mothers deserve a loving and special treat, and the gift of a photo frame, whether cheery and fun, floral and jeweled or elegant and formal, will help to make her day one she will remember each time she gazes upon your very thoughtful gift.

Time to Celebrate Earth Day

By

 

In celebration of Earth Day, we all need to think how we can help make a difference in how we use our natural resources. Here at Your Picture Frames we’re always looking for frames that are made with sustainable materials or recycle-able products. Although our selection is still small, we’re always on the look out for quality made eco-friendly picture frames.

Some of the key features we look for are photo frames made from recycled materials or materials that are sustainable. What’s sustainable? To us, we’re looking at whether the material is like a plant crop that can be replanted and is done in an earth friendly way. We like sustainable materials like bamboo, mango and rubberwood as these are plant crops that have a short natural life cycle. So, for example, mango trees produce mango fruit but once the tree reaches a certain age it stops producing fruit and therefore is no longer valuable to the farmer. So, when this happens, instead of wasting the valuable mango wood, it’s used to create products like mango picture frames, bowls, vases and other products.

We also look for products that are made with earth friendly practices. One example of that is using water based stains instead of oil based stains that are bad for the environment. Besides the earth friendly benefits, water based stains are also safer for your family. Here are just a few of our frames that have water based stains: Shasta Natural Matted Bamboo Picture Frame, Shasta Rubberwood Matted Black Picture Frame and Teton Wide Bamboo Picture Frame.

So, the next time you shop for frames, consider shopping green and get an eco-friendly frame that is safer for your family and is better for the environment.
