I came up with a great gift idea for people who have gardens or grow flowers - take photos of their flowers and frame them. I did this for my mom who grows roses and she really appreciated them. Here's an example.
I took the photos of the roses, and then in Photoshop I added a subtle diffuse glow filter to soften the image. I made duplicate layers with different effects and then used blend modes to bring out the colors. After getting the right effect I printed them on glossy paper and put them in nice wooden frames.
This "personalized" gift allows the person to enjoy the fruit of their labor all year long (and show off their green thumb!)
There are great tutorials for enhancing photos at the Planet Photoshop website, the Tutorialized website, and at the Photoshop Cafe website.
