Personalized Retirement Gifts
Searching for a really special retirement gift? Your Memory Lane is a one-of-a-kind, high-quality art print personalized with the recipient's most cherished moments and memories. This keepsake will be proudly displayed, admired, and best of all, never forgotten!
Picture the look of surprise and delight on the their face as they relive the landmark accomplishments and events of their life and career, revisiting fond memories of people and places from the past. They'll love remembering the day they were promoted, made partner, or reached what was thought to be an impossible sales goal. How about the corner restaurant down the street where they liked to have lunch, the kind of airplane they flew, their favorite sports teams—all the details that will make this gift as unique as they are. It's all here on their own Memory Lane.
If it's worth remembering... it belongs on Your Memory Lane!
Take a look at the examples below of just a few of the art prints we've created especially for retirement gifts.
To provide a better understanding of how this works, we've animated a few of the actual "keyword list" descriptions that were transformed into graphics and displayed on this typical 8-Building Memory Lane retirement print. See more about preparing your "keyword" information.
In this particular case # 2 Al MacInnis, one of the St. Louis Blues' best defense men is retiring... the personal touches for Al and Jackie are their kids names and some of the things they enjoyed doing as a family living in St Louis: golf, St. Louis Zoo, The Magic House and The Science Center as well as Al's 88-89 Stanley Cup and his Salt Lake Olympic Gold medal. The common items include of course the St. Louis Arena, the Arch, as well as the "team's" favorite restaurants and area hang-outs.
Shown above is a framed 5-Building Memory Lane. If the information you need to display is too much for a 3-Building street, yet not enough for an 8-Building street then consider the 5-Building street. 5-Building streets display up to 24 Memories and Moments, 4 street signs, and 5 vehicles. You also have a generous amount of space in the sky for information. Please read the information on our "About keywords" page for more information.
Our Quality All Memory Lane prints are individually printed on archival paper using the highest quality long-lasting pigments. This process, called Geclee (pronounced "gee-clay"), is the term used for what is currently the most advanced digital fine art printmaking technology. The Geclee printing process provides incredibly detailed prints that last longer (in excess of 120 years) and have a brighter, crisper gamut of color that is far beyond that of lithography. |

We suggest that you first make a preliminary list of the information that needs to be displayed, i.e. the individual moments and memories that will be displayed on the buildings, the street signs, the vehicles in the street and what may appear in the sky area.
Once you have a good idea of what you want to display, you can add or remove "keywords" to fit a particular size street or select the street that will accommodate all of your information.
The "keyword list" is the information we need from you in order to create a Your Memory Lane art print. The keyword list questionnaire / form can be downloaded onto your computer.
Once the form is downloaded, you can start answering the questions and provide a short sentence or two about each of the moments and memories that you want displayed.
When it is completed you will email it to us as an attachment. You can prepare your keyword before or after you place your order, but you must have a confirmed order number before you can submit the keyword list to us.
You will provide your contact information, tell us which street you've decided on, and when you will be presenting your gift. Within two business days, we will email you your order number and the following information:
- Directions for preparing and submitting your "keyword list".
- The approximate date on which we will email you a preview of your finished art print for review.
- The date you should expect delivery of your framed or unframed art.
When the Your Memory Lane art print proof is emailed to you for review, you have 3 options:
1. If your review finds no mistakes you can proceed to make payment, choose framed or unframed and the shipping details.
2. If you love it, but find that corrections are needed to make it perfect, you will submit a corrections form which initiates a revised proof. You will see your revised proof within 24 hours. Upon its approval you will proceed to making payment, framed or unframed and provide shipping details.
3. If you are unhappy for any reason, we are sorry that we failed... no payment is required.
