Canvas on Demand appreciates our troops! That’s why we started Operation Hi Honey, a program that gives hundreds of our deployed military men and women a free fine-art canvas that will be presented to their spouse on their anniversary. The beautiful 16″x20″ PixelPaintedTM canvas, created from a favorite photo, has the look and feel of a traditional custom painting. It’s a personalized keepsake that their Honey will hang in a place of honor and cherish for years to come.
- Chris from Colorado Springs said: “This is the day our wonderful daughter was born.”
So if you are a deployed member of the United States military and want to surprise your Honey on your anniversary, you can apply. Recipients will be selected randomly each week, and the canvas will be delivered to your Honey in time for your anniversary. Be sure to apply at least 6 weeks before your anniversary date. All submissions and photos will be posted on our website and can easily be forwarded by email to friends and family.
If you know someone who qualifies, we need your help in spreading the word! Most of us have some connection to a man or woman serving overseas in the U.S. Military. Please pass along this information about Operation Hi Honey by forwarding this blog to them or to someone close to them www.canvasondemand.com/hihoney. By working together, we can make anniversaries very special for our troops and to their dedicated spouses on the home front! It’s our way of honoring those who serve and protect our country.
I just wanted to say thank you for honoring our service members. My husband and i did a canvas for his mom for Mother’s Day and it turned out beautiful. I’m a frg volunteer and i will surely let our volunteers know about this so the guys/gals can do something special for their hunnys back home on their anniversary apart from eachother. Thank You Again!
Chris, I love this photo of you guys with your new baby daughter! The family is precious!
What a great idea! My SIL is back stateside, but I want to thank you for doing this. I don’t currently know anyone deployed or I would send them to this site.
Thanks again for supporting our troops!
I also want to thank you for doing this. We did one for my husband’s Mom also with the Operation Hi Mom. She loved it and the quality was great!! I am excited that y’all are doing this now. I, too, am a FRG leader and have forwarded this to the Company Commander, 1SG, and all my other deployed contacts to spread the word. I have also told our FRSA and Battalion Commander’s wife so that they can spread it to other companies.
Robin, it is truly a joy for us to support our troops. Thanks for letting us hear from you…and keep passing the word along. Jackie from Canvas on Demand
Thanks for your kind comments, Kim. It is an honor for us to support our troops. Jackie from Canvas on Demand
I just read about this program and will be spreading the word to the rest of my unit. Good stuff. Having spent 4 out 7 anniversaries away from my wife due to deployments, this will be an awesome gift. Thank you.
I just wanted to thank you for my Hi Honey canvas. Our anniversary was yesterday (17 years) and my honey ordered one for me. It is so beautiful and perfect!!! Thank you again for doing this!!
Thank you all so much for supporting us troops. I am currently overseas in Iraq (4th time) and saw your ad in the Army Times. I also, will spread the word about your company. Once again, thank you for your kind support to the troops!
It’s so good to get your message. It is our pleasure to do this for our troops. Thanks for helping us spread the word. We are so very thankful for your service to our country! You are in our thoughts and prayers. Mom
This is such an amazing gift you are offering to the troops and their families. Thank you for your generosity!
My wife got the picture today and absolutely loved it. Thanks for making a special anniversary gift that we will always have a story for. Thank you so much for your suuport to the Soldiers and their families.
Gary, we are so honored that we were able to do this for the two of you! It’s just our way of letting you know that we appreciate the sacrifice that both of you are making! Mom
I want to thank you for provding such a wonderful program for us families with deployed loved ones. The people who support our troops and families are heros too. I just got ours today, and I cried when I opened it. It is beautiful. Thank you so much.
Aloha! tgo
Dear Canvas on Demand and “Operation Hi Honey” staff,
Thank you so very much for this service that you provide to our troops and their families. My husband is currently deployed to Afghanistan, and it was so heartwarming when I recieved this present in the mail. I am so very thankful to those of you who make this possible. These canvases are such a beautiful reminder of the loved ones who are absent from us when they serve our country, and they’re also a reminder of the gratitude of Americans and American companies who support our service men and women. Thank you for showing your gratitude to my husband and me in this way- the canvas will be such a beautiful keepsake for our family!
Charlotte
PS. Is there a physical address to which I can send a formal “Thank you” letter?
Charlotte: Your “Thank You” means alot to all of us at Canvas on Demand. This project is close to the hearts of all our staff here. It’s simply our way of saying thanks for the sacrifices of those serving our country and to their families at home holding down the fort. We truly appreciate our troops and their spouses! Wishing you and yours the best in the new year! Mom
Thank you Tom, Joe, and Mom for approving my application for a free canvas for my wife. Your support drives and motivates us to do what we do when times are tough. Thank you so much, and I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Thank you so much for doing this! I received my favorite wedding picture on canvas today, just in time for my first wedding anniversary! Although he is in Iraq it felt like he was right next to me as I opened the box. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband AND that there are companies like yours out there who really care about us. Thank You!!
This is the coolest idea
My husband will miss our first wedding anniversary!
Lauren, we are so pleased we could do this even though he couldn’t be home for your special day. Thanks for writing! Mom
Thank you for thinking of the deployed and their families. It means a lot. My anniversary is coming up, I really hope my wife gets the free fine-art canvas it will mean the world to us. Thanks again.
She WILL get the complimentary canvas, Elias. And believe me, we are as excited to create this for you as she will be to receive it! Be safe and thanks for all you are doing for our country. Mom
I really appreciate a website like this. This is a wonderful thing. It would be fantastic if I was selected for a canvas for my wife. She loves her photos. She gets to have the pleasure of packing up the house and moving overseas before I will finish my deployment. I was wondering, do you ship overseas if the spouse is selected to be surprised? (She moves in June and as of right now has no forwarding address)
thank you again for thinking of the families. It is a wonderful thing you are doing.
Kevin
Oh, shoot! I guess I am not eligible. Our 5th wedding anniversary is next month (May) and it’s less than six weeks away. I just heard about it today from one of the guys in my shop. I knew we should have waited more than 100 days to get married from the day we met! haha
thank you.
Kevin
Kevin, perhaps you should apply anyway. The worse that will happen is she will receive it late, Mom
Thank you for thinking of the deployed and their families. It means a lot. Our 10th wedding anniversary is next month (May6) and it’s less than cople weeks away.Thank you.
My hubby is deployed! Our anniversary is June 18th and he can use all the help he can get haaa!!
Hello! Thank you so much for the beautiful canvas. It brought tears to my eyes as well as joy in my heart. You have no idea how much I appreciate what you did. I cannot be with my husband on our 5th yr anniversary but when I received that precious canvas it lightened up my day. Thank you so much – to you and to all who work in Canvas on Demand.
Mrs. Elias: It was a joy for us to provide you that canvas. And it truly brings joy to our hearts too. Thanks to you and your hubby for all the sacrifices you are making for our country. Mom
I received your beautiful canvas in the mail today. I wanted to say thank you very much, it means the world to me. Being he can’t be here in person, having a great big amazing photo of him in front of me is the next best thing. You are unbelievable, I thank you with all of my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! (times infinity!)
You truly are welcome, Jennifer. Have a great week. Mom
I cannot begin to thank you enough for the beautiful canvas print I received today with amazing words from my husband. Thank you so much for recognizing our military families and all that each spouse and child endures while our soldier is fighting for our freedom! My kids love staring at our new family photo up on the mantel, which is the most fitting place to stare at a VERY appreciated piece of artwork. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving from your heart!
My mom got her canvas yesterday and sent two emails saying how much she loves it and how perfect it is. She had been sad about both of her kids being away from her on Mother’s Day, and I think this made it a little better. Thank you very much for your incredible generosity. It is something my family will remember for years to come! Thank you very much!
Today I received an awesome reminder of what my husband is all about. He sent me a canvas with one of our favorite wedding pictures. He will not be able to be with me on our first wedding anniversary which is very difficult. Yet, you were able to bring comfort with this beautiful picture and his encouraging words. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are doing such a wonderful thing for military spouses. The little things make such a BIG difference!!! THANK YOU!
How can I register for this?
Just wanted to say Thank You for allowing our deployed troops the opportunity to still celebrate with their loved ones. I received my canvas this week, right before my 8th anniversary and the birth of our second child(due 7/7). My almost two year old son, was so excited to see a large picture of him and his “Dada”, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for appreciating the sacrifices made by both the active duty and their family members.
My husband is an Iraq veteran and retiring next year so we are not applying, but I HAD to say THANK YOU!! What a wonderful thing you are doing to support the troops and bring joy to military families during deployments (not to mention something to cherish for a lifetime). I have passed your website along to my military family and friends.
Again, THANK YOU from one proud Army wife!!
I was wondering if the Operation Hi Honey! program was still in effect. I am a Key Spouse for our base and would like to pass the word but I wanted to make sure you are still providing this free to the troops. Thanks in advance!
I just wanted to write and thank you as an organization for what you do. As little of a gesture makes a big impact on loved ones, whether they are the ones deployed or the ones at home. So few companies really understand what goes in to the sacrifice that our servicemen and women endure to provide Americans at home a safe and secure environment to raise their families and live their lives. I am just one in an apparent crowd of satisfied individuals who is proud of the quality of product that you produce, as well as the example you set to sister companies. Thank you for your selfless generosity, and please know how much it means to this deployed Marine. Semper Fidelis.
I send you- Joe, Tom, Mom & all the employees of Canvas on Demand-a sincere THANK YOU for finding a way to ‘honor the trooops’ and their families during this difficult time in the economy. It shows a great commitment on your part to hold on to the values of your company- producing quality work with the utmost in customer srvice- while showing your appreciaion to our service members and offering this touching promotion.
We’ve used your company before, and my husband took the opportunity to apply for “Operation Hi Honey” for our anniversary while he was deployed. We’re currently living overseas and I haven’t placed an order lately because I was unsure of the shipping issues to an APO address. Not only was I surprised to receive such a beautiful canvas, but it was in perfect condition to the APO address.
Many many thanks to Canvas on Demand for your continued support and your priceless products!

Hello, How do we know if the deployed service membeber gets chosen to suprise his hunny at home? Will they get an email stating they have been selected?
Joe, Tom, and Mom,
Thank you for everything. My wife is going to love the artwork that your company made possible. I really appreciate what you and your company are doing. Thank you for your generosity and setting the example as a company that has a superb product. This is a great offering to our deployed Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen. I am greatful for your service to us.
Semper Fidelis,
Staff Sergeant of Marines
Love it!! Received my canvas picture and it looks amazing! Thank you very much. We greatly appreciate it. Can’t wait for my hubby to get home and see it.
THANK YOU!!! My honey surprised me with a beautiful canvas of our family picture taken right before he deployed. VERY MOVING!!!
As a photographer who uses COD and a supporter of the military, this is an awesome gift and I greatly appreciate your act of kindness. My husband was deployed a few times and these random acts of kindness not only brings tears to my eyes but it makes me proud to be associated with this type of company.
