Tip #22
Start Planning For Holiday Gift Giving
Yes, it is only September but the holiday season is fast approaching. Now is the perfect time to start creating that personalized photo gift list. A great way to get started is to create a wish list of your own. Here some ideas:
Customized photo calendars allow you to capture those special holiday moments, vacation adventures, and memorable milestones to be enjoyed all year long.
Creating unique photo books preserves those special events, memorable milestones, and exciting vacation moments. Books can be thematic or individualized for a family member or friend.
- Frames
These days, photo frames come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. Digital frames allow you to change or rotate your pictures whenever you feel like it. They make a great gift idea because they allow you to easily share your photos with friends and family.
A personalized slide show or movie is a great gift idea for everyone on your holiday list. You can combine photos, home movies, commentaries, and music to create a unique and memorable gift.
- Personalized Unique Gifts
It is estimated that in the year 2021 there will be over 1.4 trillion photos taken in the U.S. with camera phones. What do we do with all of these images? The ingenious ideas for creating photo-based gifts have virtually exploded in the last few years. You can create everything from projection necklaces to exploding photo boxes with your pictures. Photo keychains and the old favorite – lockets – are also making a comeback as great holiday gift ideas. Explore all your options for personalized photo gifts because the ideas are endless.
