My Review:
For my print I chose one of the How the Grinch Stole Christmas set of 4 – ™ & ©1957 Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P. All rights reserved Prints. This is one if my most favorite holiday cartoons and books to read every year. It never grows old for me. I have loved the book since I was a child and I have enjoyed watching the cartoon and movie version of it every year around this time. So it was a no brainer when I went on the site to choose my review print.
Here is the print I chose:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas – ™ & ©1957 Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P. All rights reserved. |
It looks even better in person. I am waiting for my husband to hand it on the wall for me. I am going to leave it up year round. We discussed just hanging it by the tree every Christmas, but I love it too much. Here is a picture where it is sitting on my bookshelf, waiting to be hung.
The print is good quality. It is printed on richly textured, archival 30% recycled paper. I see no blurs or ink smears that I have occasionally seen on prints that I have considered for purchase at various stores. The colors are rich and really stand out across a room. I don't have a lot of art (or much of anything really), hanging on my walls, so when I do choose one, I want it to be perfect. This is.
The optional white frame it came in works perfectly in my home and is perfect for this print. It looks to be good quality as well. It is a sturdy wooden frame and not a cheap plastic one that you could buy for a dollar somewhere. The back is covered with Kraft paper and includes a saw-tooth hanger. It has plexiglass instead of glass, so it is more durable. That is a good thing here in my home. One of the reasons I don't hang a lot of prints or photos is that they tend to get knocked down and broken. I have a feeling this will survive if it gets knocked of the wall by a hyper child.
The ordering process was simple. I went to seussprints.com and looked at all the prints they have available. There are many nice ones that I would like to get in the future. You can shop by room, character, by celebration, by color, or you can get creative and spell out your name in prints.
I chose by celebration and then by Christmas as I already knew what i was looking for. I did look at all the rest, but I had my heart set on a Grinch or Who print. There were 8 adorable prints to choose from. When I saw the one I ended up choosing, it practically jumped out at me! It told me it wanted to come home to me and be part of my family. So I couldn't say no, now could I?
Adding to cart, choosing to frame or not to frame, and checking out is the same as on most sites, so I won't go into detail. Shipping time was pretty quick. It was packaged well and I was so excited to get it! My children love it almost as much as I do. I will enjoy this print for years to come, and hope to add more to it. I would enjoy having all the prints from this collection.
