We are down to the wire when it comes to holiday shopping (or as some influencers are calling it online, panic shopping! LOL!), BUT there’s still time to get a few last-minute gifts created with your photos. I always recommend working with a high-quality lab like MPix, or you can use my professional product printing. MPix offers free and fast shipping for their personalized products. Here are a few ideas if you need a gift in a hurry:

• Custom calendar filled with family memories: Create a custom calendar that celebrates the uniqueness of each family member. Designate a page for each month, featuring carefully chosen professional photos that capture the essence of individual personalities and collective activities. Whether it’s a candid shot of a family member pursuing a hobby or a heartwarming group photo, this personalized calendar will make each passing month a journey through cherished memories.
• Themed photo book: Opt for a themed photo book that focuses on a specific aspect of family life, like an anniversary, newborn session, or milestone. Whether it’s documenting vacations, celebrating special occasions, or capturing everyday moments, curate a collection of photos that revolve around a central theme. This thematic approach adds coherence and depth to the photo book, making it a thoughtful and visually cohesive representation of your family’s experiences.
• Sweet little personalized ornament: Infuse the holiday season with cherished memories by turning family photos into personalized ornaments. These special decorations can adorn the family tree, becoming a yearly tradition. Each ornament tells a story, creating a unique and festive atmosphere that combines the joy of the season with the warmth of shared family moments. Add a note from your kids for a special touch!
• Digital frame with slideshow: Embrace modern technology by gifting a digital photo frame loaded with a curated selection of family photos. Some frames even allow for slideshows, turning a static display into a dynamic showcase of cherished memories. This contemporary approach to displaying family photos offers a versatile and ever-changing visual experience that can be enjoyed in any room of the house. Be sure to add some troubleshooting and setup if you are gifting this to an elderly family member 🙂
• Canvas prints: Multi-panel canvas: Turn a favorite family photo into a stunning multi-panel canvas display. Split the image into separate panels to create a modern and visually impactful piece of wall art. This format not only showcases the beauty of the photograph but also adds a contemporary and sophisticated touch to any living space. The multi-panel canvas becomes a focal point that encapsulates plenty of cherished family moments.

Most of these gifts can be made within just a few days and can be shipped shortly after (from a lab like MPix) and I’m always happy to work with you for a longer turnaround time if you need gifts for the new year. These can be combined with personal notes or special snacks to make a thoughtful gift for anyone on your list.
