Ways to Gift Your Photos This Christmas
Meaningful Gifts Featuring Your Photos
It’s no secret that I am passionate about helping you ENJOY YOUR PHOTOS. I want you to print your photos to hang on your walls, frame on your shelf, or enjoy in an album you can hold in your hands. Ready to bring your favorite photos to life by giving them as a gift? Instead of gifting something generic, photos are truly unique and personal. Your loved ones will treasure the real life memories you share with them, for a lifetime.
I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to gift your photos. If you are a client of mine, you can order some of these exact products right through your client gallery through our incredible print company, White House Custom Color . (Check your gallery for a special discount on all prints that we’re offering right now!) If you aren’t a client of mine yet, you’ll still find these ideas helpful as you order similar products from your print studio of choice or find some photo gifts ideas you may not have considered before.
Photo Albums
Create a thoughtful photo album of all the beauties from your photo session, a special occasion or trip you took with a loved one, or your favorite moments from the year. I create a “family yearbook” each year with a mix of all my favs from my iPhone, camera, & professional photo session we book each year. I use Artifact Uprising for these albums & highly recommend them for their quality & modern, minimal design. If designing one on your own feels overwhelming & you’d like a custom photo album designed for you, I can help design you one! Just shoot us an email & we’ll get the design process started!
Fine Art Prints
Make a statement in your home with a Fine Art Print. These are printed with inks that significantly enhance the visual brilliance of both your color and black & white images. These inks also have a substantial longevity that keeps your images beautiful for generations. Investing in a quality print of your photo is a must. Use them with your favorite frames to match your home decor.
Digital Frames
These Skylight digital frames are amazing! These are easy to set up & allow you to add new photos to your loved one’s frame at any time from anywhere! You’ll set up a unique Skylight email to connect to the frame so that all you have to do is just email the photo you want to add & it will instantly appear on their frame in a digital slideshow. This is an especially perfect way to stay connected if you or your loved one don’t use social media. Plus, Skylight has a very extensive privacy policy about how they keep your digital images safe.
Stand Out Prints
Looking for a ready-to-hang, simple and modern gift? Look no further than the Stand Out Print. This is one of my faves! It has the same effect of a canvas in that it is lifted from the wall & doesn’t necessarily need a frame to stand alone, but it doesn’t have the canvas texture & is a more affordable option .
Photo Storage Boxes
If your parents or grandparents have several loose photographs in the garage or a closet somewhere, these boxes are a helpful way to organize and label them so that they can be more easily accessed & ENJOYED! Plus, a true gift & labor of love would be to offer helping them to organize them yourself! You can make the gift even sweeter by printing a few of your favorite photos and putting them in each box as a little surprise for when they open your gift. These boxes are simple, stackable, and have a spot for labels. They would look clean displayed together on a shelf close at hand so that you can more easily look through your photos when you’re feeling sentimental.
Gallery Framed Prints
Pick the perfect Gallery Frame to compliment home decor style. A handmade frames is the perfect home for your most treasured photos. So many color & finish options to choose from. Pick a few different sized frames and create an incredible gallery wall in your home.
Photo Postcards
Start 2022 on a high note by sending a Christmas Card or New Year’s Card to your friends & family. We could all use a little happy mail. Spread cheer near & far with your photos. Clients, you can design & order these straight through your online gallery with free envelope addressing or I also recommend Minted for DIY holiday card design.
