Saving Memories in a Boxed Canvas. AND A GIVEAWAY!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Christmas right around the corner, my shopping tendencies at its all-time high, and my to-do list extending longer than ever anticipated, I find myself forgetting to buy for one of the most important people in my life. You know, the dear husband of mine.

I'll overhear him randomly say he needs "shoes" or "a shirt" and so forth, but then once Christmas actually nears us, I frantically panic at the fact that I hadn't gotten him a gift yet that is of sentimental value. I know it's Christmas and not an anniversary, persay, but I think it's still important to get the love of my life something of meaning. It's just something we like to do.

So when I was given the opportunity to choose 3 prints to pick to get framed from Snapbox as a gift, I knew exactly who it would be for. And of what.

You see, Andrew always talks about how the large prints in our home are overpowered by our daughter. I mean, she is the center of our lives, so it makes sense. But I know that he enjoys seeing pictures of just us. Our love. Our special memories.

The images that I decided to work with for this special gift are from our wedding day. One of the most important days of our life and the moment that we became a family of two. Everyone always talks about how meaningful and beautiful their wedding day was, but I think ours was extra special because of the fact that it was just the two of us. So anytime we reflect back on the images of this day, no one else can chime in and talk about it. Just me and him. And that? That's something we get to share with just one another.

This was my first experience with Snapbox, and I have nothing but great things to say about it. You choose the images that you want to enlarge and email them to the company. I thought maybe this takes a day or two of processing. Oh no, I had a response within 10 minutes stating that my images were ready for viewing.

The next step is deciding sizes. What I really appreciated about Snapbox is that I could see my images in the designated sizes and compare them to one another. So it gave you a perspective of size differences and where the sizes would work best for in your home. Of course, for me, the bigger the better. So all three boxed canvases that I had chosen were in 11x14

I received an email just a couple days later stating that my order had shipped. And what do you know, it arrived at my doorstep in less than a week!

As far as price goes, I think they are competitively well priced, especially for the quality. Unlike canvas prints, this comes in a sort of box that appears will last us for many years down the road. I was definitely impressed by the quality and it exceeded my expectations in that area.

Lastly, one of the most important parts of the images is the quality of the print. I always upload my images in their original format, and therefore like to see them in real life reflecting all the details that are most important to me. Especially since it is a gift. And let me tell you, when I received this? My mouth literally did drop. I have tons of canvases in my home, but nothing like this!

Now that I have them, I am so excited and it's hard to resisit myself from getting these to him early. I cannot wait to wrap these up and Andrew to open them on Christmas day. And I am definitely looking forward to making more of these for gifts from Snapbox in the future.

And I have even better news. Today, one of you will get a chance to win 3 boxed canvas prints of any size you choose with free shipping! Again, these would make fabulous gifts for that special someone, grandma or grandpa, or even for yourself to personalize your home.

Use the rafflecopter below to enter and good luck!! The giveaway will run for 2 days {just so you have time to order and get the items before Christmas}. I will email the winner when the giveaway ends with the promotional code and announce via facebook/twitter! Be sure to follow along!
