GiftWorksPlus Releases Interesting Halloween Facts and Figures

Leave a comment

GiftWorksPlus has fun facts and custom frames that are perfect as Halloween approaches.

Waukesha, WI, USA — Halloween is synonymous with candy, ghosts, pumpkins and costumes. In honor of Halloween, GiftWorksPlus is releasing some fun facts and figures about the holiday to get customers in the Halloween spirit.

The origins of Halloween are thought to be linked to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, in which people would light bonfires and wear costumes to scare off ghosts. When Pope Gregory III named the first of November All Saints’ Day in the 8th century, some of the Celtic traditions were incorporated into the holiday. The night before All Saints’ Day became known as All Hallows’ Eve and, eventually, Halloween.

Wearing Halloween costumes also has its roots from Celtic and European traditions. Back in earlier centuries, it was believed that ghosts were free to roam on Halloween and people thought that ghosts would recognize them if they left their house. After dark on Halloween, people would dress up in costumes so that ghosts would mistake them for other fellow ghosts and spirits. Today, the tradition of wearing costumes has evolved as a way more to show off creativity and have fun instead of warding off ghosts.

Halloween has evolved into a more commercialized event focused on costumes, pumpkins, and candy. In fact, one quarter of all the candy sold each year in the U.S. is bought for Halloween treats. Between candy, decorations, pumpkins, and costumes, Americans spend almost $7 billion every year on Halloween – making it the second largest commercial holiday in the country. Put another way, the average U.S. consumer is expected to spend about $75 on Halloween-related items each year.

GiftWorksPlus has several engraved frames for Halloween. These wooden frames are great for showcasing a child’s first Halloween, a group of trick-or-treaters, or even a contest-winning pumpkin carving. These Halloween frames are also perfect grandchildren frames to send to grandparents, so they can see grandkids in their Halloween costumes.

All GiftWorksPlus picture frames come with free customization, giving customers the opportunity to create personalized picture frames with dates, designs and more. These special picture frames make great unique, personalized gifts that family and friends can enjoy year after year!

GiftWorksPlus Announces Tips For The Best Fall Family Portraits

Leave a comment

Find the perfect customizable wooden frame for fall family portraits with GiftWorksPlus.

Waukesha, WI, USA — GiftWorksPlus, a custom frame designer, is now helping families to take amazing fall family portraits. With cooler weather setting in and the leaves about to change, autumn is the year’s best time to have your loved ones professionally photographed together! The Wisconsin-based custom gifts online store has several suggestions for families looking to make the most of this fall with a stunning portrait.

Get Outside!
Fall is the most beautiful time of the year to be outdoors, so what better place for your family portrait? Work with your photographer to find a location that captures the spectacular colors of the fall foliage. Lakesides or river bluffs are great spots for a fall portrait.

Dress to Impress
This is not a time to wear Bermuda shorts and tank tops. Dress your family in cozy sweaters and plaids to display your autumn fashion sense. Cool temperatures aren’t easy to show through a photo frame, so dressing in warm clothes will convey that crisp fall air in a photo.

Don’t Be Afraid to Use Props
Many iconic symbols appear during this time of year: leaves on the ground, hay bales, and scarecrows to name a few. Attempt to work these into your portrait without making it looked forced. Standing in a park with colorful leaves at your feet or casually sitting on hay bales will show off that autumn feeling all year long!

Once the perfect fall family portrait has been captured, trust GiftWorksPlus to have the perfect engraved wooden frame for it. The online customizable gifts store has hundreds of wooden picture frames to compliment any family’s portrait, no matter the time of year.

GiftWorksPlus offers free personalization of all its quality wooden frames. Add names, dates, or special quotes to the family picture frame to create an unforgettable memory and show off a fall portrait in style. No matter the event, GiftWorksPlus has customized picture frames to make it special.
