Gift for parents

Personalized Poem Gifts for Your Parents

Some thank-yous are too big for a card. A custom poem plaque turns years of packed lunches, long drives, and quiet sacrifices into a keepsake your parents can hang where they will see it every day. Write from both of you or the whole family, add a family photo, and preview the plaque before checkout.

Best for milestone anniversaries, retirements, holidays, empty-nest moments, and thank-you gifts from grown kids.

What to Put in the Poem

Name the specifics only your family knows: the dinner-table rules, the car that barely ran, the phrase your dad still says. A poem for two people can alternate — one line for her, one for him — or speak to them as the team they have always been.

Design Direction

A scanned family photo or a shot of the family home anchors the plaque in shared history. Warm, simple backgrounds keep the focus on the words; leave room for a date line if you are marking an anniversary or retirement.

Questions

Before you start

Can the poem be from all of us kids together?

Yes. Write it in a shared voice and add every name — the editor lets you arrange lines and signatures however you like.

Can I use an old scanned photo?

Yes. Upload any photo you have digitally, including scans of older prints, and position it while you design.

What sizes and finishes can I order?

PlakYourPoem prints on canvas, hardboard plaque, and acrylic. Canvas and hardboard come in 5x7 and 8x10 inch sizes; acrylic is offered as an 8x10 inch wall print.

How much does a plaque cost?

The price depends on the size and finish you pick, and shipping to the US and Canada is included. All prices are in CAD, and you will see the exact price in the editor before checkout, with no charge until you place the order.

Where do you ship?

PlakYourPoem ships to addresses in the United States and Canada.

How long does production and delivery take?

Production and delivery typically take about two to three weeks. Timing is an estimate and can vary.

Write it once. Keep it close.

Bring your own words or start from a draft, add a photo, and see the finished keepsake before you pay.
