    I'd like something like that - but I don't think my OH would "get" it.

    Can't see my OH even thinking of gifting something like that but I saw so many fb photos over xmas and on twitter etc where family members had bought them and they all seemed happy to recieve them and ran with the idea (making it myself is so hard, not knowing typography, calligraphy, fonts, sizing, colours etc):D

    What we think about this art is immaterial ....what will your OH think about it? That's what matters, surely?

    I can't say yet as was thinking to give it to him on Valentine's day, to me it is a perfect gift, because I have made it myself (with a lot of help from google), I have put time and effort into it and saved the £40:D, I bought a glass picture frame in the Wilkinsons sale, photographic paper for £1 from poundland , used quite afew of them already as keep messing up but really putting effort into it OH would appreciate that
