Is a canvas print a good christening gift?

It is one of the few that gets used immediately. The traditional silver gifts are stored rather than displayed, while a canvas goes on a nursery or hallway wall in the same week. Adding the name and christening date makes it specific to the day.

Can I add the baby's name and the date?

Yes. The design tool takes custom text alongside the image, with a choice of fonts, sizes and colours. Keep it small and in one corner so it does not compete with the photograph.

Is a canvas safe to hang in a nursery?

Our canvas is tested for harmful substances through named chemical analyses, which is the claim we are cleared to make. It has no glass or acrylic front, so there is nothing to break. Hang it out of reach of the cot and use a fixing rated for the weight.

What size suits a nursery?

30x20cm or 40x30cm. Nurseries are usually small rooms, so a single large canvas can dominate — three smaller ones in a row often works better than one 80x60cm.

What photograph should I use?

Either a photograph from the christening itself, or a recent one of the baby with the name and date added. Photographs taken inside a church are often dim, so check the file is not heavily grained before going above 40x30cm.

Can godparents order one between them?

Yes, and it is the usual arrangement. Splitting a larger canvas costs little each, and delivery within Great Britain is free on orders over £49.

Does the canvas arrive ready to hang?

It arrives hand-stretched on its frame. A hanging kit is an optional add-on rather than included.
