Digital Photo Album And 5 Other Personalized Photo Gifts

December 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The digital photo album can be customized by adding a single photo that is printed on the front and back cover of the album.  Alternatively, and for a more unique look you can include two photos; one of which will be used to customize the front and other for the back cover.  The self mount pages enable you or the gift recipient to create a unique photo album that can include photos of the family or pictures from specific events such as weddings, graduation, or other milestones in a person’s life.  Here are five other personalized photo gifts that you may also wish to consider.

Photo Canvas Prints

Choose a single photo and have it printed on high quality HD Satin canvas.  The canvas print is available in a variety of standard sizes but can also be printed with bespoke dimensions in order to ensure that you get exactly the look that you want from a canvas print.  As well as being very personal, a canvas print can be converted into an incredible looking piece of wall for any room or any property.

Photo Montage Prints

Rather than having to choose a single photo to customize a canvas print, you can instead choose a series or collection of pictures and combine these into one great looking montage.  The montage can be used on a number of different items to great effect and is especially good looking when printed as a photo montage print.  You can add a personalized greeting to the back of the canvas too, to make it even more personal.

Photo Calendars

Choose a photo and a title for the cover of a photo calendar and then select a photo and accompanying caption for each month of the year.  The photo calendar, like all photo gifts, is made from high quality materials in order to ensure that it won’t just see out the twelve months but can be kept for many years as a mini photo album.

Photo Blankets

The photo blanket is another great use of a photo montage.  Use dozens of your best looking photos in order to create one great looking montage and then print this on a small, medium, or large blanket.  The montage blanket can be used on a bed, in the living room or even when traveling.

Photo Cushions

A photo cushion is another great looking personalized item for the home.  Available in either medium or large, the photo cushion is particularly good looking because your photo is printed on a velvety cushion cover that is not just good looking but very comfortable and practical too.  Cushions and blankets are just two types of home bedding that can be customized with photos, other items include pillow cases and duvet covers and you can even customize the wallpaper that is hung above the bed.

A customized digital photo album from Bags of Love makes a great looking gift idea for any occasion. Visit bagsoflove.co.uk now to see details.

Giving New Life To Old Photos

December 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Everyone has an abundant supply of old photos.  Sites like Exposures and Ancestry.com know just how much those old images mean to you and will help you give your old photos a new life.  The memories that are attached to each photo are priceless, and for those prints that are from the past (where digital cameras were not used), time can really take a toll on their condition.  You can preserve your old photos in many ways.  Use your scanner to load them onto your computer and edit or retouch them to create beautiful new looking prints or keep them in their tattered condition and display them proudly as part of your heritage.  Below are some fun and unique ideas on how to use and display your old photos.

Family Trees

You can make a family tree in a variety of ways.  Use the photos in the condition they are in to show the age or scan and restore them using digital software.  You can find tons of great projects for creating family tree displays that include simple frame placements, collages and even murals that cover an entire wall in your home.

Art For Your Home

Use the old photos that you have as artwork for your home.  Some of the older photos in your home would look great displayed in antique frames.  Something as simple as a picture of the old boat dock that you used to play on as a kid can add an eclectic charm to your décor.  You can even use the old photos as décor by printing them onto lampshades, throw pillows or storage boxes.  Why buy décor that is printed with a meaningless scene or image. Create your own to have an item that is priceless and that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Collage

Make a collage of all your old photos.  You can take up an entire wall or just a small space in your home to add together your favorite photos of the good ole’ days.  Collages are fun to make and you can even have your children help you find the favorite pictures you will use and decide on where and how to display them in the collage.

Jewelry

If you have a favorite old photo that you want to be able to carry with you, think about creating a piece of jewelry with the image embedded into it.  That old photo of your favorite grandmother can become part of your locket, bracelet or even a large ring or brooch.

Calendars

A calendar is a great way to display some of your favorite photos, and each month as you turn the page, you will have a new one displayed on your wall.  Desk calendars are a great gift to give to someone to have in their office. This way, they will always have a special moment to reflect back on as they schedule their hectic days.  Check online for some more exciting and fun ways to display your old photos!
