What To Consider When Designing Photo Gifts

By Betty Collins


If you want to give someone a gift that is incredibly meaningful and personal, using one that incorporates a photograph may be a great option. There are many different gifts that fall into this category and choosing the right photo gifts can be difficult. Here are some things to consider that may make the selection process a lot easier.

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.

Often the biggest challenge that someone will have is trying to figure out which picture to use. You may have many to go through and choosing one specific image may be very difficult for you to do. You may want to pick an image of the person who will get the item or choose one that features someone significant to that person. The reason you are giving the gift may also help influence which image you will use.

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.

If you get a photo item for someone and they never use it that person may not get as much enjoyment out of it. You need to make sure though that an item such as a mug or t-shirt will not fade if it is washed repeatedly. High quality products may be more resistant to fading even if it is used on a regular basis.

Computer accessories can be great photo presents as well. A good option for a computer user would be a mouse pad. This can be placed on a desk and is both useful and sentimental at the same time. If you want to make it easy to create this kind of object you may want to ensure you are picking a rectangular photograph that will translate well into the shape of a mouse pad.

If you want to use more than one picture in the same item you may want to think about having a custom calendar printed up. These can be a great way to showcase a number of special photographs. You can choose wall models or ones that are designed to sit on a desk.

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.
