Picture It On Canvas

Redeem online

Today’s deal: for $49, you get a $130 gift card to Picture It On Canvas, an online company based in California. This Groupon is valid towards shipping costs of your Picture It On Canvas purchase to Canada, but it does not include a $10 broker fee and GST.

With a quick, electron-enabled visit to Picture It On Canvas’s product descriptions and a photon-carried look at its how-to template, customers can dive into the worlds of art, interior décor, and science simultaneously. Select a prize photo (digital or analog) from your archives and then use the online order form to begin your photomorphosis. Picture It On Canvas’s 1.5-inch gallery-wrap canvases are made of archival-quality material, which is denser, more durable, and less likely to get shoved into a roommate’s back pocket than the original photo-paper medium. Its thick-bar gallery wrap caresses the edges of your piece with an attractive canvas-y embrace that’s suitable for hanging without a frame. Consult the FAQs for more information.

Once received, the gift card can be used for any item in Picture It On Canvas’s coterie of canvases, which includes canvas-only and gallery-wrapped 3/4-inch thin-bar options, though it can only be used for a single purchase. The largest options swell to 36″x48″ tapestries ($220 for canvas only, $278 for 3/4″), ideal for displaying double-size portraits of infants, life-size portraits of kids, or half-size portraits of Andre the Giant. Gift cards are guaranteed to arrive by Christmas, making today’s deal eligible for stocking-stuffing status.

Today’s deal for Mixbook includes the option to have a Gift Card with the full Groupon value automatically mailed out with guaranteed free shipping by Christmas. Groupon customers who choose not to enter a shipping address upon checkout may redeem online in the typical fashion.

With Mixbook’s photobook services, you can instantly upload your treasured pictures and customize each with the easy-to-use Mixbook editor. Use the editor to crop photos, add text, and rotate any pictures you like, allowing you to convince friends that you met Adam West while hanging upside-down in his master bedroom. Clients can then choose from several different types of printed books, such as the 8″x6″ hardcover or soft-cover pocket landscape ($11.99 for 20 pages soft-cover, $19.99 for 20 pages hardcover) or to the 14″x11″ hardcover coffee-table book ($49.99 for 20 pages), ideal for stirring up jealousy in book-less coffee tables. Mixbook uses archival-quality silk paper to ensure that sentimental snapshots have a glossy look and feel. Capture the moment the bride said “I do” with a professional-quality wedding picture book, or encapsulate baby’s first word—”mitochondria”—with a baby memory book.

You can also utilize Mixbook’s services to craft engaging, customizable cards and stationery (starting at $0.39 each). Create your own jovial holiday cards with the entire family in front of the fireplace or dainty wedding invitations with encoded messages about the real meaning of life.
