Can you share your favorite photo gifts?

I was thinking of getting the grandparents mugs of the kids.

I also want to get something for DH's office.

Can you share your favorite photo gifts - ones you have given or you have received?

Re: Can you share your favorite photo gifts?

photo mugs have been a big hit in our family...

Also photo calendars are great for grandparents.

Re: Can you share your favorite photo gifts?

I have this and I bought it for my mother. I hate the chain so I took it off and bought my own to put it on. I love that I could pick the perfect pic and touch it up. I get a ton of compliments on this and my mom loves it!! It's not very big but just the right size. This is my "mother's necklace" when ds is born I plan to make one with his pic in it to add to my chain.

Shutterfly necklace

I also made the pewter ornament for my inlaws and they loved it as well!

Mine is my mug. It has a pic of Liam and I when he was one day old. I LOVE to drink my tea out of that mug

Mouse pad (if he uses a desktop computer)

Re: Can you share your favorite photo gifts?

I've given DH a mouse pad, daddy frame with pic of him and DS and some enlargements to hang on his walls.

What does DH do? My DH is in home automation/home theatres so I took some pics of DS in just a diaper cover and DH's tie holding a big fancy remote and blew it up in a gallery frame. He loved it and it's a big hit at his office.

Also made him a magazine cover. I did it on Photoshop but ther are companies that do it.

For the office- Mousepads, pencil holders

I bought DH a golf ball marker with DDs pic on it last year- the magnetic kind that clips to the brim of a hat- I can't remember the name of the site right now for some reason

We bought my mom a Treat Jar with pictures on it from personal creations

2 years ago we got together (my sister, SIL and I) and made my parents a huge scrapbook of the grandaughters lives. My parents were seperated so we made a book for each of them, and it was so special.

I don'tk now if you have the time or interest in taking up scrapbooking, but it was such a meaningful gift and we can add a page or two to it each year with important family pictures. My parents loved it!

I love the calendars. I have ordered mugs from shutterfly, and those tend to be a hit.
I also got my husband a tie with DS's picture from personalizationmall.com. He always gets compliments when he wears it, and my father in law even asked for one for fathers day this year!

Re: Can you share your favorite photo gifts?

We're getting one of these for each of the grandparents with our LexiBella shoot pics for Hanukkah / Christmas. (Not sure how clear it will be in the pic but it's a canvas collage)

I do calenders for my mom, DH's mom, my Grandma, and my SIL of my kids. THey love them and actually request them each Christmas. I get them at Costco and they come out great each year. You can add special dates and they get a recap of pictures for the last year.

I have done mugs also from Costco and Shutterfly.

I also made blankets with the kid's pictures on them for the grandma and those were a big hat, so much that my dad asked for one the next year.

I think I could send my Dad socks with the kid's pictures on it and he would be thrilled so maybe he is not a good judge if it is a good gift, lol.
