Of course, being a picture frame company, we often hear of plenty of customers raving about how they love to give our frames as gifts for their loved ones. The holidays are a great time for memories, and giving a framed photo or art piece is a sure way to know that a gift is well-received. While you may not be able to receive your order by Christmas from us, we have some personal favorite gift ideas from Etsy that can ship sooner than our production allows (and also make great gift ideas for your loved ones!)

Creating Memories During the Christmas Holiday Season
Thanksgiving is over. Look outside and what do you see? Lights, blow up snowmen, people rushing about furiously, insane traffic, and crazier shoppers. We all know how commercialized the Holidays have become, and it s all too easy to get caught up in all the mayhem and forget one of most important aspects of this season family. This season, take a moment out of the madness to take a deep breath and prioritize. Is Christmas really about making sure you are spending enough on everyone equally, or trying to one up another gift giver by making sure you spend more. Is it about beating the shopper next to you to the last XBOX 1 or PS4? Has it become so commercial and hurried that we can t stop for a moment and make some awesome Christmas memories? I hope not. So, this season spend a little time thinking about how you can make some new and lasting holiday memories. Let s take a look at some ideas from others across the internet White Elephant Gift Exchange On my step-fathers side of the famil

Furniture Fair joins Frame USA for Fill The Truck 2013
Frame USA s Annual Charity Campaign Gains a Great Community Ally for Fill The Truck 2013 This holiday season, Frame USA is continuing the annual FillTheTruck.org campaign, where we pick a few outstanding charities around the Cincinnati area that help a wide range of people who are down on their luck. Around the holidays, these situations are made worse by the drop in temperature and the need for food, warm clothing and supplies to get through the winter season. That s where Frame USA and Fill The Truck come in. Springing from a company-wide charitable initiative started four years ago, Frame USA CEO Dan Regenold decided to keep filling supply trucks for charities all around the Cincinnati area. Fill The Truck initially started as one of Frame USA s monthly charitable initiatives, where we donate $1 for every online order (and ask our customers to join in.) Our 4th Annual charitable initiative Google Fill The Truck and you ll see the lives and communities we ve impacted along the way
