Happy Father’s Day: Quality Frames From The Heart

Forget gadgets and gift cards. This year, choose a Father’s Day gift that speaks from the heart and reminds Dad how valued he is.


Frame something that means a lot to him—a sports jersey, a cool photo, a concert or movie poster. Virtual Framer can help you design it, and we'll promptly ship your custom luxury wood frame, handcrafted in the USA.


True craftsmanship demands strict attention to detail like size, depth, and style. This guide shares techniques to help you configure a custom frame worthy of the memories you share with Dad.


Why Custom Picture Frames Make Great Father’s Day Gifts

The best gifts for dads aren't always easy to find. Try giving him something truly special that captures his favorite moments.


That Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers 2018 concert poster still sitting rolled up by his desk? A custom frame turns it into a conversation starter.


Archival material, premium moulding, and high-quality glazing make custom frames ideal for preserving and displaying meaningful items. Celebrate Dad’s favorite memories by framing them specifically for him.


Father’s Day Gift Ideas To Frame: From Prints To Jerseys And Memorabilia

Photo prints, sports memorabilia, and poster artwork benefit from custom framing’s dual purpose: preservation and display. Custom picture framing is a practical way to ensure meaningful items remain visible and intact for years.


Photos & Prints

Want a gift that feels personal? Frame that perfect snapshot—your chosen wood frame and mat combo brings the moment front and center.


Frames help turn your memories into art. You can find a style for every photo, no matter what kind of story it tells.


Sports Jerseys & Memorabilia

A shadow box is perfect for highlighting his treasured jersey. With added depth and a bold display, a framed jersey makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift for a true sports fan.


Place a framed jersey above the trophy shelf, in the home office, or in the man cave. It's a unique piece that honors his favorite team and captures the excitement of the game.


Posters & Artwork

Give something memorable this Father’s Day by framing a special poster. Wood picture frames add a little elegance, and protective glazing helps preserve quality.


Poster frames let you decorate with intention. Framing a treasured 24x36 movie poster or a nostalgic old concert flyer can give Dad’s space a personal touch—something that’s more than just functional.


Unique Alternatives

Your Father’s Day gift should be personal and unique. It could be artwork, a sweet note, or something else totally special to your bond.


Put it on a floating shelf, mix it with other frames, or let it stand on its own. Custom frames make it easy to show off something truly one-of-a-kind.


Matching Frame Style To The Item

The frame you pick should highlight the personality of what’s inside. And make sure the picture framing material holds up well over time.


Materials & Finishes

Our wood picture frames are crafted using premium solid-wood moulding, available in natural, stained, or painted finishes. Conservation-grade material options protect special artwork or photos from fading. For glazing, Conservation Clear glass blocks up to 99% of UV rays while enhancing clarity, and Museum Glass or Museum Acrylic are best for both UV protection and reducing glare.


Size & Depth

A folded jersey or 3D memorabilia item would be displayed in a deep shadow box, while thinner frames work well for most movie and concert posters. Popular frame sizes include 30x40 inches for jersey shadow boxes (with around 1 to 2 inches for depth), 24x36 for posters, 11x14 for photos, and 18x24 for art prints.


Personal Touches

Customize your display with a mat that perfectly complements your piece. Choose from a variety of colors and textures to achieve your desired look. Create a floating effect by using a float mount or spacer, giving your item the appearance of suspension within the frame.


Make It Count, Make It Last

A picture frame makes a simple gift so much more special. The right size and style make it a Father’s Day piece he’ll always want on display
