The Photo Factory

As with most things in life, in order to end up with a good result, you have to create a quality beginning - in this case the actual photo. Unique photo gifts are a really nice and very personal gift to give someone and they are without a doubt a gift from the heart - which means more to a lot of people than something super expensive. These personalized photo gifts come an array of products, but in order to come out with a good looking gift you must first get a good picture, follow these guidelines to get the best results possible.

First off, the photo should be of quality, this means it shouldn't have bad color, scratches, crumples or blurriness. Also, the bigger the picture the better. In a situation where the photo gift maker might have to enlarge or make a photo smaller, it's always best to find a bigger photo since a photo doesn't really lose details when reduced, but always loses details and quality when made bigger. If the site such as ours is online, it's a good idea to take the photo from your computer, camera or memory card and upload it to our site rather than send us a paper print out.

You simply lose a lot of detail when you take a photo and print it out with ink! If you follow these simple guidelines you will end up with an amazing product that your gift receiver would love to have. Use these personalized photo gifts for graduation, retirement, birthdays, holidays or special occasions like a new baby being born!

We are in the year 2009 right now, soon to be 2010 and technology just keeps on growing more and more. It used to be that when you wanted to make unique photo gifts or personalized photo gifts you had to go out and buy a specialized printer, ink, you had to buy special tools, etc. The printers and tools were always the biggest buy considering you can't use just anything to make these gifts. Nowadays though, you can design the product yourself, and have someone else make it for you.

This is not only less stressful and less overwhelming, but it’s also fun, it costs less, and you have thousands of options to choose from. Once you make your unique photo gifts or personalized photo gifts you simply buy the product and send it off to wherever you want to send it. Some options to choose from as far as products go are things such as; clothing and apparel, holiday gift items, crystal, pet products, books and calendars, magnets and stickers, home decor like plates, bowls, steins, cups, mugs and pillow cases.

If you can picture it, you can picture it on a product! These products are black and white or in color depending on the photo you choose. You can also choose various colors, sizes, ad options to go along with the products. For example, if you want to buy a red mug with a yellow sunset and a blue frame around the sunset photo and you want it to be sent to Aunt Betty with a thank you card - you can do this. The only thing that restricts you is your imagination!

Photos gifts are superb because almost everyone loves to receive them and almost everyone loves to make them - both parties win! Now whether you choose personalised photo gifts for a man, a woman or a child you have a lot of different options in front of you. For example, for the guy in your life you could choose something like hats, photo ties, steins, or can wraps. Typical manly man stuff. For women you can choose from things like Cami-Strap Tank Tops, hand bags, key chains, frame with mirror, jewelry or personalized plates!

You can also choose from a lot of holiday-wear as well such as photo ornaments, photo books, photo doorknob signs, coasters, aprons or calendars. You can actually personalize all of the above by yourself, (it’s really easy as 1,2,3!) and use it as a gift to give someone. You can either put an actual person's face on it, or you could do animals, scenery or nature that the receiver loves.

These unique photo gifts are also a sweet option as well for a gift from a grandchild to a grandparent. You could do something like a frame or a calendar, and place the child's face on the product and send it to grandma or grandpa for Christmas or a Birthday!

People love customized or personalized gifts. I'm not sure what it is, but they just love receiving cards that you made or that have your own designs on them. Since it is the holiday season and Christmas is coming up soon, you may have started to think about some unique gifts you can get for your family. One of the most popular options because of sentiment alone are unique photo gifts such as calendars, mugs, shirts, puzzles, handbags and oh so much more. Choose from categories such as photo plates, home decor, fun photos, sports, drinking glasses/mugs/cups, gifts for her and gifts for him!

These are gifts in which you can place photos on. The photo doesn't have to be of yourself or of a person - you can virtually choose any photo you want. I had a friend do this for me one year. It was a photo I had won a contest for in Natures Best Magazine. I loved this photo it was my pride and joy.

So she decided to get me a coffee mug with the photo on the mug. I'm a huge tea person, so every morning when I use that cup it just makes me smile. It was a really nice gift, very thoughtful, and since it was from www.PhotoFactory.biz, the personalized photo gifts website, it was truly a photo that actually meant something to me! Loved it! You also might be able to add other customizations as well such as colors, accents and designs.

People always love to get a handmade, hand created or personalized gift. When it comes to photos, the first thing that comes to mind are unique photo gifts and personalized photo gifts. These are quite literally customized by YOU.

All you need to do is to visit The Photo Factory online and see that the process is very simple, very easy and pretty darn popular! You can choose from an array of starting items such as t-shirts, mouse pads and mugs.

Once you figure out the item you want to customize you will then upload your photo. Some products allow you to place words or phrases while others only let you place a photo. You will also get an option of a full wrap around photo, a back photo and a front photo, depending on the choices you’ve made. You can usually pick ANY photo you want and we will automatically re-size it for you.

You can even choose a photo of your children and give all of the aunts and uncles in your family a unique photo gift for the holidays! This is also a really nice gift to grandparents as well as anyone else on your list!

Most people know that when it comes to grandparents, they do love their freedom; their kids are all grown up and they have new and interesting activities to keep them busy; crocheting, bingo, fishing, golf. But there is also one thing that grandparents absolutely love with all of their heart; their grand kids! More often over the last few years, grandparents have been moving to warmer places to retire, this means that they get to see those little precious grand kids less and less. When it comes to gifts, there is a pretty easy fix to this.

Sure it's not the same as them being side by side, but it still is a pretty cool choice – it’s called Photo Gifts. These are specific items such as t-shirts, hats, coffee mugs, calendars, totes, and other products that you can place your kid's pictures on! This is considered one of the more popular unique photo gifts because of the easiness of it plus it’s also a personalized photo gift which is always a fun thing to not only create and buy, but to also receive.

While your kid's grandparents may not get to see their grandchildren as often as they used to, a fun and exciting gift such as this is something that they will cherish for years to come. To make something even more personalized you could also wrangle your kids up and let them help with the selection process as well! Let them pick the product, the colors, even the photos!

When it comes to most Holidays this time of year, people will spend hours upon hours buying gifts at stores and strip malls across their town. Have you ever thought about doing something else though? Something a little more thoughtful and heartfelt? I'm sure you have, you just might not have figured out how to achieve this kind of gift! One of things you could consider doing is something called a photo gift. This is a photo that you can place on a product such as a coffee mug, t-shirt, calendar, notebook or just about anything else for that matter!

This is really nice because not only is it a unique photo gift, but it's also a personalized photo gift as well! You can even create things like personalized puzzles too. All you have to do is choose the photo, upload it, and voila you are done! Pretty darn simple for such an awesome gift isn't it?!? This could be a picture or a photo that you really like or want someone to have or it could be a photo that the receiver really enjoys as well.

These are unlike any gift you have ever bought and gifted before; they are unique photo gifts and personalized photo gifts which means they are worth their weight in gold. In fact, you might even hope that someone else gives you the same gift back! This is surely something that will be cherished for years to come!

People love taking pictures, but even more - they love giving them as gifts. It's very easy, very fun, and very inexpensive! You can choose from all kinds of personalised photo gifts such as photo shirts and clothing, hats, picture frames, calendars, cards and even mouse pads!
At the Photo Factory you can make dozens of personalized photo gifts that just about anyone would be proud or happy to receive! Take the photo mousepad for example, not only can you choose the photo to place on the pad, but you can also add extra things as well such as text, text color, any extra designs you want, etc. Even if you don't have a direct photo right on your computer, you could also choose a stock photo from another website and use it for your item!

These unique photo gifts range anywhere from $1 on up to $50 depending on the picture, size and the products you want to place it on. Obviously a mug is going to be more expensive than a card because the mug probably costs more for the company to buy than the card did! This is truly a fun thing to do, you can even get your kids involved if it's a photo or personalized photo gift for their grandma or grandpa - let them choose the item and the photo!

Remember when we had to decide whether we need a 200 Speed or 400? Well, the days of film are long gone and it’s all about digital photography now and instead of film we need to buy a memory card, a process that can get quite complicated.

There are many different kinds of memory cards available in the market and many cameras require specific types of cards in order to work properly. So when you buy camera memory card you should consider your camera’s requirements and also your shooting habits.

Unfortunately, you can not really use the card that came with your camera. It’s usually too small and can only contain a few pictures. You probably need an SD Card which is the most common type of memory card that most cameras use. On the other hand, if you are the proud owner of a Sony camera, then you probably need a Memory Stick which is the only card that fits the brand.

There are also many sizes and storage options. Cards range from 256 MB and up to 32 GB and more. If you are an amateur photographer, go for at least 1 gig so you’ll have enough memory and won’t have to worry about deleting pictures.

If you need more information, visit our website at www.photofactory.biz and get the perfect memory card for your camera.

Photo gifts are probably the most personal and thoughtful presents you can give to your loved ones. A unique photo gift shows love and appreciation, while ensuring that the most precious memories will last forever.

Photo gifts are fully customizable and can work with any occasion. Here’s a great way to go to bed with a smile and have sweet dreams about the people we love. It’s a Photo Pillow Case and it is the perfect gift for that special someone. You can place your favorite photo on one side of the pillow or even on both, and the pillow case is 100% machine washable.

Here’s another great item that will make you forget about the World’s Greatest Dad/Mom/Boss mug. It’s a cool magic photo mug which is fully customizable. It appears black until you have your morning coffee and the photo of choice appears when things are getting hot.

So if you're looking for that special something, visit us at the Photo Factory where you'll find a large selection of unique photo frames, photo albums of all sizes and designs and photo gifts that will turn your favorite pictures into everlasting memories.

Life became much easier since we got introduced to digital photography a few years back. No more films, negatives, you can take as much photos as you like and see them right on your screen.

But now that it’s all digitized and computerized, it seems we forgot how fun it is to flip the pages of an album or just hang a frame with family photos on the wall. You know, a photo makes a great gift and promises that some memories will never fade away.

There are really great photo gifts that are truly special and affordable. Here's something that is sure to make grandma happy - it's called Message in Time and it's a speaking Picture Clock.

What does it mean? it means that you can record your favorite personal message to announce each hour! The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Record a grandchild's first words, a close friend's greeting, or sounds from a special event. Hear that same recorded message at the top of each hour.

Here's another idea - You can't save time in a bottle but you can definitely put a picture in a bottle:

It's a Photo-In-A-Bottle Snowglobe and can easily fit 2 pictures and looks great anywhere in the house.

But if you still want to go digital check this digital frame. We know that a digital photo frame sounds expensive but it's not the case with this LCD Picture Key Chain:
It's really cute, the quality is great and it stores 74 of your favorite photos. And guess for how much? Just $9.99 at www.photofactory.biz

Great photography takes more than just a single camera click. Great photography is also about presentation. When you get that special photo, you want to share it with the rest of the world, and you want it to last as long as possible.

The digital revolution changed the way we look at photos. Suddenly we find ourselves clicking a button instead of flipping the pages of the album. In the last couple of years, people are suddenly developing their photos once again. One reason is computer crashes and viruses that threaten our most precious memories. But most of all, photo enthusiasts realize that there is nothing quite like the old fashioned album, nothing like the family picture in a frame.

At the Photo Factory you can develop all of your digital photos and find a large selection of unique photo frames, photo albums of all sizes and designs and special photo gifts that will turn your favorite pictures into everlasting memories.
