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

By Betty Collins


Many people use photographs to document the lives of their friends and relatives. If you know that there is a particular picture that is special to them, you may want to consider giving them one of the many photo gifts that are available today. Here are some tips and pointers that you can use to make selecting these items as quickly and inexpensively as possible.

In the past there were fewer things that you could do with photos. Pictures were captured on film and this could often degrade over time, making it easy for individuals to lose their memories to time. Now, however, many pictures are captured in digital form. They can be printed out on many different surfaces and this is helpful if you want to turn a picture into a present.

Its a good idea to look through many pictures in order to find one that is beautiful, suitable and meaningful. You may want to use a picture of the person who will be getting the gift. An image from a significant date like a wedding may be a good option. Another idea is to use a photograph that features someone who is significant to the person who will receive your present. A child, a spouse or a deceased relative would all be good choices in this case.

Once you have the picture you want to use in the gift you should think about what you want to do with it. Some options can include adding it to an album of other pictures, printing it onto an object or garment, or using it as part of a slide show on a digital photo frame. All of these options can be great for the right person.

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.

If you know that someone uses a computer, you might want to consider putting a photo on a mouse pad or other computer accessory. Most images will work well in this way because a mouse pad is a flat object that is roughly the same shape as a photograph.

Calendars make great gifts that are easy to add photos to. Keep in mind that you will need to choose a series of pictures. Usually, if you are creating a wall calendar you will need at least twelve images if you want a flip-style calendar. You can also choose a desk model or one that acts as a perpetual date keeper. Any of these options are helpful and beautiful choices.

There are many companies that can help you create these items. Some companies may be local while others may require you to send in digital files. They will create the item, album or calendar and then ship it out to you. Often, these items can be made up in a very short amount of time. If you are unsure of where the most reputable companies are, asking friends and family members which company they used may help you avoid wasting money.
