Valentine Gifts with Love

Make your Valentine feel extra special with a custom hand crafted gift from The Knothole Gift Shop. Several styles of custom wood portraits are available and make unique gifts for your Valentine.

Year after year men and women try to find the perfect gift for their loved ones to show how much they care. A unique gift can be created from old pictures or new to make a one of a kind gift that will show your love and affection. The Plaque pictured at right was made for a friend that he gave to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day. The unique and personal gift was a hit and his girlfriend loved it.

Several styles of plaques are available at The Knothole Gift Shop and the plaque pictured at left is a Rectangular Country Wood Plaque. Other plaques featured on the site are Round Country Wood Plaques, Oval Basswood Plaques and Heart Shaped Pine Plaques.  Keepsake style boxes also make wonderful gifts that can be filled with special items for your loved one on Valentines Day. All surfaces are made of basswood or pine and country style plaques have the bark intact to add a real country feel to the portraits. Other Plaques have a smooth beveled edge that is stained with a dark walnut color to add a unique and glossy frame to the portrait. Custom colors can be used to frame portraits such as red or white for Valentine gift portraits.

For Great gift ideas for Valentines Day please visit The Knothole Gift Shop and check out the wood pages and gallery to find unique gift ideas. All orders are unique and use the art of pyrography to burn the images into the plaque or wood surface of your choosing. All portraits exhibit great detail and can be left in neutral sepia tones of the natural wood burning process or color can be added that can compliment the portrait. Each order is discussed at length with the artist directly to insure that each portrait is perfect.

Valentine Day gifts and portraits can be made using any type of picture. The easiest and quickest method is to e-mail the picture directly to the artist. The artist can help in choosing the right type of plaque and style to create a one of a kind piece that can enhance the portrait. Old Polaroid pictures can be scanned and sent via e-mail as well. The artist is great at recreating old, worn and faded pictures in to unique pieces of art. Follow the Knothole links to my Facebook page and visit often for special deals and promotions.

Don't wait too long, Valentines' Day is approaching fast and getting your order in as soon as possible is best. It can take 3 to 5 days to create one piece and delivery time can take 2 days. All orders placed before February 1rst will receive free shipping.
