How To Choose The Perfect Photo Gifts For Friends And Family Members

By Betty Collins


If you want to give someone a gift that is incredibly meaningful and personal, using one that incorporates a photograph may be a great option. There are many different gifts that fall into this category and choosing the right photo gifts can be difficult. Here are some things to consider that may make the selection process a lot easier.

It is much simpler and more affordable to have images printed on items. In previous years it was difficult to take a photo from a negative and put it on an item. Now, with the rise in digital photography it is much easier and much less expensive to have images printed on different items or turned into things like calendars.

Often the biggest challenge that someone will have is trying to figure out which picture to use. You may have many to go through and choosing one specific image may be very difficult for you to do. You may want to pick an image of the person who will get the item or choose one that features someone significant to that person. The reason you are giving the gift may also help influence which image you will use.

One obvious choice is to put significant pictures into an album. This can be one with photos printed directly onto the pages or one with spaces where printed pictures can be slipped inside for storage. If you know that the recipient does not have a lot of room to store an album you may want to look at getting a digital frame that will display a series of pictures. These can often have additional images added to them.

Keep in mind whether or not the person will use a particular item when deciding if that is what you want to put the picture on. You may also want to think about whether or not they have many other models of the same item. For example, a coffee drinker may love the idea of having a special photo on a mug but may not use it as much as you would like if they have other mugs to choose from.

Computer accessories can be great photo presents as well. A good option for a computer user would be a mouse pad. This can be placed on a desk and is both useful and sentimental at the same time. If you want to make it easy to create this kind of object you may want to ensure you are picking a rectangular photograph that will translate well into the shape of a mouse pad.

If you want to use more than one picture in the same item you may want to think about having a custom calendar printed up. These can be a great way to showcase a number of special photographs. You can choose wall models or ones that are designed to sit on a desk.

Finding someone who can produce the gift is not hard. Often, local printing companies may be able to help you design your item and then know where to have it printed so that you end up with a quality product. If you cannot find anyone in your area or if the cost is too high you may want to consider going to an online company in order to have your gift made for you. Always ask for a complete breakdown of cost so that you are not stuck with a higher bill than you expected.
