You can buy picture frames anywhere. At least, you can buy picture frames anywhere that sells picture frames. The thing is, if you take your shopping experience in-store.

You wouldn’t be alone if you held the conviction that the right way of shopping for a personalized gift was to do it in person, at a mall or an outlet, or even if placing a custom order through a catalog was the right way to go. Many others probably feel that way, especially since so many people have become used to that experience. It’s just the way so,

Even so, the last year has created a serious paradigm shift in the daily lives of so many people around the world and around the country. Only over a year ago, who would have dreamt of shopping for groceries on the internet? That is a sacred weekly ritual for families around the country. Think of the stereotypical Sunday rush at the grocery store in your town - it’s a thing.

But now, people are shopping online for products in manners that were nearly taboo only a year ago. If you haven’t yet, embrace the change and reap the rewards. Here are the best reasons you should buy picture frames online - or any of your other special gifts!

Get More for Your Money

Probably the best reason it’s worth your while to buy picture frames online has everything to do with the value of the money you exchange. When you shop online, convenience is in your corner, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re shopping for a picture frame or even for the aforementioned groceries.

Think of it this way. When you shop online, you have no need to carve legitimate time out of your schedule to accommodate a trip to the store, or to a series of stores. And consider the value of the time you spend shopping as well and not just in transit. There is great truth to that.

To put it frankly, when you go shopping “the traditional way,” you often have no idea whatsoever what you’re going to run into. You might just pass through a circuit of stores that you’ve had success patronizing in the past and hoping they have something that appeals to you as a gift. There’s no guarantee for this, and you are at the full mercy and arbitrary nature of the supply chain.

Conversely, when you shop online, you know exactly what you’ll be looking for before you even look for it. Sure, you might run into some surprises, but you can’t just “shop the aisles.” You need to envision a gift and then search for it, whether it’s a personalized picture frame for an anniversary or a custom valet tray, or even a unique stained glass lamp to commemorate a special occasion. You need to do a little bit of the searching, but you will be rewarded with options that match your vision, rather than shelves of randomly assigned goods.

One more thing. When you shop online, you won’t just save time and enjoy the benefits of convenience. You’ll also save money on fuel or other transportation costs, not to mention the fact that you can enjoy the comfort of shopping from home. And, before anyone raises a claim to the contrary about the cost of shopping online, all orders ship free from J Devlin Glass Art, so you won’t even need to worry about the cost of shipping!

How about Selection?

Here’s something else that just makes more sense. When you shop for special gifts online, picture frames or otherwise, you’ll be rewarded with the largest selection imaginable. While the internet may not have the best of everything, all the time, it will have the most of everything, most of the time, and reliably, at that.

The thing is, you can go to the largest mall in your area - the largest one you can find - and the selection there will pale in comparison to what you can find in the online market. Sure, that market might offer one or two unique highlights that have no comparison elsewhere, but the online market has that ten thousand times over.

It is quite literally the world’s largest trading hub and the only one that is truly international. Even the most cosmopolitan of cities are still physically limited by location. The internet is not, and you can shop between sellers that are actually located across the globe from each other, with the stroke of a few keys, in the span of a few moments.

This means that the online market can unabashedly provide you with selections that you will never experience in a physical market. Sure, there is value in the personal experience of shopping at a retail outlet, and some products need to be handled, met, and felt before an investment can be wisely made. However, that is the exception and not the norm.

When you’re looking into buying a picture frame online, such as one that is personalized to celebrate an anniversary or to offer at a wedding or for a birthday party or some other important milestone, the online market will provide you with diversity in products that will not fail to satisfy you. You still might need to do some good old-fashioned searching, but what you need, or want, is out there.

Instantly Compare, No Matter Where You Are

Another value in shopping for special gifts online is that you can save time during the shopping process. Let’s say you visit one outlet and find a gift that you really, truly love and which you think will make a great offering. In this hypothetical scenario, allow that gift to be one you’ve discovered at the first place you visited. You still want to see what else is out there before you make a decision.

So you get back out there and visit another local shop, only to discover something else that you like nearly equally well. The only problem is that you forgot the price and some other important particulars of the other gift, so now it’s incumbent on you to make a trip back. Perhaps you figured that into the process, but it is still a time-bound inefficiency.

When you shop online, instead of going to high-end frame stores for gallery wall frames or items similar, you can immediately compare between options online in a matter of seconds. Just open a second tab when you see something you like, keep the other one active or just bookmark it. It’s easy, efficient and it makes sense. You can keep tabs (literally) on everything that catches your eye in just a few moments.

Whether you’re not sold on price, material construction, quality or options for personalization, shopping online will put you in touch with a level of convenience and control that is simply not possible in person following the traditional avenues. The only way to come even close would be to do all of your shopping at one retail shop, and that would put you at the mercy of a single seller.

Quality, Quality, Quality

If there’s one thing that we’d like to stress above all of the other points we’re making here, it’s that you can find the best quality available online, provided that you know where to look for it. For years, we’ve defined ourselves by the quality of our products, and that commitment to quality and differentiation isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s really the cornerstone of our entire operation.

All of the items here at J Devlin Glass Art are handmade by skilled artisans, and all of them are unique items to our catalog. You will not find them anywhere else in the world and are made expressly for us. We use a tried and true method for the production of our stained glass art, the Tiffany method, which has been the standard in stained glass artifacts for well over a hundred years.

The glass produced using the Tiffany method is colorfast and will never fade, nearly regardless of the conditions. In addition, Tiffany method stained glass is well known for its ability to play off of the lighting in a given setting, resulting in an endless array of hues and tints, depending on the ambient circumstances.

Our glass art is also ornamented beautifully with lead-free solder, producing framing and scrollwork that is wonderfully ornate and adds a lot of class to our presentation. Handmade, unique, and made using the highest quality materials and processes, our picture frames and other glass art have no equals - even in the online market.

Endless Options for Customization or Personalization

Something that makes our glass art even more memorable is the fact that we offer nearly endless options for the customization of our picture frames for photos and art. If you’re looking for truly custom framing, then you’ll be glad to know that you can easily customize many of our picture frames for home decor.

Add in a name or a date and make the frame a personal offering to the recipient, one that they will keep forever and will be unique to them on the basis of the customization. You can also make our offerings even more special with special inscriptions or insignia. Looking to add a favorite biblical verse or line of poetry to a gift when you buy a picture frame online? That’s something that we can accomplish for you, and we’d be thrilled to do so. However you want to make the offering more personal, we can help you out.

Trying to Make the Most of a Memory, Anyone?

You’ll notice that our collections are also segmented by the significance of the memory we aim to immortalize. Even if you only take personalization so far as what the nature of the gift is celebrating, it’s personalization nonetheless.

We offer glass picture frames - and other gifts, like glass jewelry boxes and ornaments - that are simply perfect for making the most of life’s most important moments and milestones. We carry picture frame designs that are themed according to weddings, anniversaries, baptisms, births, communions and confirmations, and so much more. Naturally, we also carry many that would be simply ideal for graduations, engagements, and other such special moments. Shop online for them and find them all in one place, ready for further personalization.

Our Glass Art Is One of a Kind

Shopping online, particularly at J Devlin Glass Art, will put you in touch with glass art the likes of which cannot be found elsewhere - regardless of your outlet of choice. As stated, all of our glass art is entirely one of a kind, handmade, and not available for sale anywhere else.

That’s a mark of personalization all its own. Even if you don’t engrave or inscribe our glass art, the fact that you won’t be able to replicate the impression through the offerings of the competition says quite enough. In that respect, everything available at J Devlin Glass Art is already personally unique.

Customer Service - Call Us and See!

Finally, but equally importantly, you don’t need to make any compromises on customer service at all, even when you buy picture frames online. You might not be able to see the seller or the representative face to face, but we’re defined by customer satisfaction and we’ll stop at nothing to make sure you are happy with the gifts we offer.

If you have any questions whatsoever about our art, how it’s made, our processes, or even what services are available for customization, please feel free to reach out to us. You can contact us at 844-772-2145; let us know how we can better serve you and we will help put you in touch with gifts that will amaze both you and your loved ones!
