Top 10 Digital Photo Gift Ideas

By Leanne Tremblay

Thinking of surprising someone special? Here are some inspired digital photo gift ideas:

Calendars

Customize 12 or 18-month photo calendars with one or more favorite pictures for each month. You can start with any month you like! Add birthdays, special events, holidays and other reminders.

The biggest one we've found is a grand 11 x 24 when open. Standard size is 11 x 17, so the really big calendars definitely make a statement.

Most online photo gift sites let you add more than one photo to each month. Other calendar styles include the month and image on the same page, and year-at-a-glance. But what we really like is being able to start a personalized calendar on any month we like, not just January. 

Mugs

Mugs: give photo coffee mugs in a variety of sizes and styles for less than $15. You can find a medium or large size coffee mugs in black or white, travel style mugs that fit into your car's cup holder, and other latte and even beer mugs.

Photo Books

Photo Books: give personalized photo books as housewarming gifts, at special occasions like graduations and anniversaries. There's basically a photo book size for every occasion. We like the snazzy clutch style photo books that fit in anyone's purse - great for grandma's brag book.

Note Cards

Give a set of 3x5 note cards personalized with your photo of choice on the front. These boxed sets can be printed on photo paper or stationary paper. Order them  blank inside, or without caption on the front and you can use them as thank you cards, birth announcements, get well cards, get well greetings and so on.

Magnets

Large and small photo magnets make it easy for favorite pictures to stick around. For weddings or anniversary favors add save-the-date captions. Another neat idea is to create a variety of magnets featuring photos of grandkids, a favorite vacation, etc. Makes a great unique gift.

Tote Bags

Durable canvas photo tote bags or purses with a favorite picture on the front hold everything from books to groceries. Feature photos of beloved pets, flowering gardens, or landscapes.

Mousepads

Add some fun to your computer space with a photo mousepad with stain resistant cover.

 

Aprons

Surprise your grill chef with a photo apron personalized with a fun photo on the front pocket.

 

 

 

Coasters

Give sets of four photo coasters with cute snapshots on each one. Make great gifts or party favors.

 

 

Canvas Prints

Give beautiful photo wall art. Any photo can be printed on canvas and the edges wrapped carefully around an internal frame. Canvas prints come ready to hang.
