You should never underestimate the impact of personalised photo gifts. A memorable gift has always some kind of personalisation. It shows you know the person very well to be able to find a gift unique enough to convey your feelings and your care for the person. That’s why personalised photo gifts are a simple and popular option but with extraordinary surprises. It is also perfectly suitable for all occasions.

With today’s technology, we are easily able to customise gifts using the photos we have in our cameras, mobiles, tablets or on social media channels. So why not use these photos to create something that will have a lasting importance for our loved ones. We gathered 3 creative and unique photo gift ideas for you to personalise your next gift.

Personalised Photo Calendar

Calendars are everywhere: on our desks, in our computers, on our fridges, on our house walls. We look at them every day and do not realise their importance in our lives. A personalised photo calendar fits every home and is our first suggestion for a unique photo gift. Customise your photo calendar with style and memorable photos. It doesn’t matter what the occasion is or who the recipient is, a photo calendar gift adds a personal touch and memories to someone’s day-to-day.

Tips:

• Choose the calendar’s size accordingly. A small landscape photo calendar is great for work due their size and format whilst large portrait is better for home.
• Select at least 12 photos and put them in order that can evoke a story because stories take us into the memories.
• Pick photos that show emotions and feelings because they activate the right side of the brain which is responsible for visualisation and creativity.

Personalised Photo Books

We all have our favourite photos which we keep in drawers or computers. We collect many photographs as we gather our experiences. Personalised photo books are a great option to organise these photos and an easy way to relive past moments. A personalised photo book is a book where you arrange your photographs in a specific order. Creativity can be added by using montages, collages, written messages, information or any content of your choice.

Tips:

• Organise your photo albums by themes. You also can organise by broad themes such as wedding, family history, baby, travels, or by using narrower themes like pets, hobbies and school days.
• Intercalate your photographs in size, style and colour, but organising them by occasions gives a sense of time linearity.
• Create as many albums as you want, but group photographs in such a way that tells a short or a long story.
• The quality of your photographs makes a difference, so choose them wisely.
• Choose an album size according to your number of photos.
• Pets are also part of family, don’t leave them out of your photo book! You can even dedicate a personalised photo book to them!

Personalised Photo Mugs Our next suggestion is very affordable and fun: personalised photo mugs. Regardless of whether the recipient is a child, teenager or an adult, they are a guaranteed way of showing your personal touch. Create your mug using that special photo. They are very handy for family, friends, or work colleagues.

Tips:

• Due to an ample area, you need to check how your photograph fits in. On the other hand, be creative and make the area to work for you.
• Use the 360 degree area to create your personal touch.
• Create a group of mugs with and for each member of the family.
