    We had ours done at Bonus Print when they had 30% off worked out a decent price. I know my friend used Tesco for hers and they both worked out OK.

    I bought one for my DH 4 years ago from LucyArt, not sure about it being the cheapest (although they're usually got some kind of money off deal going on) but the service was good, delivery quick and it still looks perfect after being hung in full sunlight for 2 years then moved to a steamy kitchen for 2 years. I'd definitely buy from there again. :)

    In answer to the original question as to whether or not it makes a good gift, I'd say yes! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

  • I have one from photobox which I won and it is excellent. You can often get discounts for there too if you check their site and the discount thread.

    Also I think there is a code for Albelli and I think it works on Canvas prints. I haven't ordered a canvas from them but I have ordered a photobook and it was nice.

    I have just had one delivered today 10x8 (not very large i admit, but its only of my sisters cat!) . I paid £4.67 delievered from Artscow- very nice! they do take about 3 weeks to come though so bear that in mind. I am sure I saw an offer on there for 2 large canvas' (not sure how big, but definatley bigger than 10x8) for $12.99- so less than £10.
    I have ordered from them loads of times and am always pleased with the quality.
    lovin' this site!
