How To Select Beautiful And Meaningful 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.

Pictures were often harder to put on items in the past. This is because cameras used film which, when developed, created a physical negative. Prints were then made from those negatives. Because the image did not exist in the form of a computer file, it was hard to put a particular picture on items to turn them into gifts. Now, digital file images can simply be uploaded to a computer and a designer can manipulate them so that they will fit well on a physical object.

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.

One obvious choice is to put significant pictures into an album. This can be one with photos printed directly onto the pages or one with spaces where printed pictures can be slipped inside for storage. If you know that the recipient does not have a lot of room to store an album you may want to look at getting a digital frame that will display a series of pictures. These can often have additional images added to them.

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.

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.

Calendars are fun and useful too. They come in many different styles and sizes. If you want to make a wall-calendar style item you will need to think about choosing a number of different items. Additionally, you will also need to think about the order that you want the images to be placed in. If you do not want to make a wall calendar, you should think about a desk blotter style or other type that will not need so many images in the design.

Once you know what kind of item you want to give you can then find out how much it will cost for you to create your gift. Some websites offer options for you to choose from and many of these have reasonable prices as well. If you are hesitant about using an online company you can look in your area to see if there are custom printing companies that you can collaborate with.
