As Randy Newman said:

You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy you've got a friend in me

This year, show your best buddy how much they mean to you with a beautiful Giclée Canvas Print from KeenARTMedia. Our crisp, frameless design is the perfect accent for any wall, from the front hallway, to the dining area, to the bedroom or living room.

Choose a picture of the two of you being silly together, or commemorate how you met with an artsy photo of the locale. If your eyes first met over the last copy of Pride and Prejudice, get a favorite quote made into a text art, or have the movie poster transferred to canvas. Whatever the image, a canvas print makes an excellent gift.

PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT

The image, the size, the display - these are all important things to consider when choosing wall decor as a gift. It should be something the recipient will love, not just something you'd like yourself! Here are some tips for selecting the best piece for your friendship-insprired present:

• Snoop around their house. Not into drawers and closets, but try to get a feel for the decorating scheme. If they like simple wallpapers and light shades, go for a picture in this same vein. Are they more into bold colors and styles? Choose a photo that reflects this wilder version of their personality.

• Bring up home decor-related conversations, and then listen. Do they mention an area they wish was better decorated? How about a color scheme in the planning stages? If a blank wall is a subject of despair, sneak a measurement so you can order an artwork of the perfect size.

• If you're unable to browse yourself, make use of your own knowledge or chat with other people who know them. What hobbies does the lucky person enjoy? A beautiful mountain vista may be the perfect choice for an avid climber, while a bucolic country or forest scene suits people who just love to commune with nature.

• Concerned about picking the right thing? Consider ordering a small image. No less thoughtful or eye-catching, a little 10x10" or 15x20" print fits perfectly in the front hall, office, or stairwell, and won't take over. Or, if you really have no idea, you can always just ask! It might not be a complete surprise, but it won't be any less appreciated.

• Once you've settled on the image, consider the presentation. Do they already have a number of canvases hanging in the home? If so, you might choose to stick with that display, or pick out one of our beautiful canvas floater frame to accentuate the picture.

• If you don't have access to the perfect image, or for any other reason you're unable to select a canvas print or frame, why not let them pick their own, on you! We offer Gift Certificates in custom denominations. We can send the recipient the code via email, or print a physical certificate and mail it straight to them!

HISTORY OF FRIENDSHIP DAY

Though there are countless references in literature to the importance and positive influence of friendship, the designated event is a 20th century construction. In 1935, the U.S. Congress officially announced National Friendship Day, an annual recognition of the importance of having friends in your life. Soon after, other countries began to pick up the mantle as well. The August designation is noticed in many different parts of the world.

In 1997, Winnie the Pooh was named the world Ambassador of Friendship.
