| So, I have a question. Would it be considered "gauche" or perhaps arrogant to give a gift of one of my framed pictures to my sister(whom is kind enough to share her home with me)? I am a beginning amateur and am not real sure of the quality of my shots. I'm flat-*ssed broke this year and I am afraid that is about all I can afford. What's the opinion? |

ofcourse you can! as long as she likes the photo ofcourse.
I like to give photos to my family, or photoshoots if they want to. they love it, and I'm sure your sister will love it too! |

| Gifts from the hands and heart outweigh store-bought. |

| I made up a calendar of my photos online and gave a copy to my parents and grandparents. A cheap/easy gift that always goes down well! |

| Absolutely, go for it. Its personal, something you love and will mean a lot to her....frame it well, nice framing adds soooooooooo much to the presentation. |

I always have felt gifts that are created by the giver are much more valuable than what can be bought. My daughter is an artists and I look forward every year to getting something that she has made herself.
You do not need to be a professional either - your concern about your photos being from a beginning amatuer shoud not make a difference. In fact I enjoy looking back on my daughter's beginning art work and seeing how she has progressed.

I am giving photo gifts this year. Mostly to family of their kids.
I have wrapped them and I am giving them to the actual kids so they can give them to their mums and dads, it is going to look really cute when my 3 and 4 yr old nieces and nephews hand over these gifts.
I think it is a lovely idea to give something you have put your heart into. It has nothing to do with money. I would rather get a gift from the heart than anything else. Remember it is the thought that counts.
edited to say number 2 for sure

I think it would be beautiful to give a gift of print you made. :-)
But, so far I'm on my own here... I would much rather have the beautiful winter scene than the church. I like the church, but I like the bare winter scene even better! |

I agree. Now if someone sees it in their heart to make me one of these ... :) |

You know your family better than any of us. What do they have on their walls now (if any)? Do you want to give them something different? etc
P.S. I like #2 better also, but #1 is also pretty nice.
