The holidays are coming, and this year I want to let everyone who will be sending me a gift, where to find delightful, designer gifts that are not tacky. And, we have a poster giveaway from our friends at Largeformatposters.com, so you can even win your gift!
The free stuff first:
Largeformatposters.com does some fantastic custom posters that make excellent gifts. I got a poster I designed delivered, and when my mom came over for dinner, she left with it! They decided to be kind enough to send me one to give away. (And they gave us one for our office!) You can read some reviews of their sister company UPrinting on Yelp.
Giveaway Prize: (1) Rolled Canvas for One Lucky Winner
Shipping: FREE UPS Ground Shipping in the US
Eligibility: Limited to US Residents due to shipping costs.
To win: Simply comment with who you would give the canvas print to.
If you don’t win, these are great gifts too. If you would like to send me any of these, I can give you my address
