  2. Learn a Foreign Language

    This is one great universal gift that can be given to anyone, a man or a woman, a friend or a lover, a child or a parent. After all, it’s never too early or too late to start learning a new language.

    Transparent Language Software has excellent reviews, and they offer more than  100 (yes, a hundred!) different foreign languages to choose from. You can go for something popular and useful like Spanish, French, Italian, or opt for the endangered and remote languages such as Altai, Tuvan, Buriat and Tajiki.

    What you get is a comprehensive language course on desktop software and audio CDs, featuring an interactive self-study program that delivers both vocabulary and real language in natural context.

  4. Name a Star

  5. Canvas Photo Print

    In the past, only professional photographers could make photo portraits into canvas prints, and this was time consuming and expensive, a luxury that most people wouldn’t spend their money on. Today the advancements of digital photography have made canvas printing easy and affordable, and a great way to turn your favorite snapshots into cherished works of art. All you need is a favorite photo in a decent resolution, so that it will be clear when it’s blown up on canvas. You can polish it and add special effects in PhotoShop, turn it into sepia, black and white, or even pop art.

    If you are looking for an original personal gift, canvas print is a great option. It is a work of art, and will have the durability to last for many years. Unlike photos that are printed on paper, and may discolor with age, a photo canvas that is properly cared for can be handed down from generation to generation, with little degradation to the image.
