The Photo Factory

Throughout the year you have all sorts of occasions, holidays and situations where you can give someone unique photo gifts. These are gifts which you practically make on your own, with a little help from us. You get to do the fun stuff, we get to do the hard work, and your gift receiver gets to relish the gift in the end. The first part when it comes to personalized photo gifts is figuring out what to get the receiver of the gift. Do they like clothes? Coffee? Maybe they need a new calendar or desk pen holder?

Either way, you choose the product they might want or that fits their personality and we will put a customized "photo" on that gift. This can be anything from a photo, a picture, a drawing, something you found online, or just words if that's what you really want! You could do a fishing hat for grandpa with a goldfish that says "It Was Really This Big!", or you could do a sweet little romantic gesture for your girlfriend or wife, and get her a photo blanket or photo pillow - you choose what the item looks like, what it says, and place a photo within the template on the blanket. It could be a heart, a picture of you two, her favorite animal - anything you want!

Remember, these are unique photo gifts in that no one else in the world is going to have this same gift! Unique photo gifts have the most thought behind them and are sure to make your gift receiver feel like the most important person in your life!

Whenever your friend or family member has a new member of their family introduced into the world, it's important that you do get them a gift, especially if you are really close to them! Sometimes though, when it comes to buying stuff for a brand new baby you may start to wonder what in the world you can buy for the parents that the baby would actually need. First off you have to realize that these gifts aren't for the baby directly, they are for the parents. And second off, in the future, they might be something the baby can use, but not for years!

One of the gifts my grandma customized for MY mom years ago before all these cooler options were available was a decorative Christmas tree ball. It's obviously something I couldn't use at a few weeks old. But, now that I am much older and have a tree and a home of my own, I have taken over that ball and use it on my own tree. It brings great memories of my childhood and my mom! Now that bigger and better choices are available for unique photo gifts and personalized photo gifts you have a ton of options to choose from to get a parent a baby gift.

Some examples off the top of my head that I think are really cute are baby blankets, key chains, scrapbook or photo book, journals, or even something like a tote bag or diaper bag to keep all the babies bottles, diapers, and other items like sippy cup for when they get older or pacifiers. All of these gifts can be completely customized for the parent by adding the new babies photo or the entire families photo to the item. It's just a really nice way to show your happiness for the parents and for their new baby!

Before you know it, it's going to be Valentines Day 2010 and you're going to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off because you waited too long to find a gift! Make it easier on yourself and find something BEFORE this dreaded date comes along! If you aren't all lovey dovey and don't really understand all that mushy romantic stuff, you still could very well get your guy a really cool gift that he would enjoy. If you don't know what to get for your girlfriend or wife, chances are, she would love personalized photo gifts such as the ones you can find on our website.

You can choose from all sorts of V-day photo gifts. You can have a book of love album that you can do, which is a photo album that is one of the coolest and most used unique photo gifts between couples and families. This is a great way to personalize the front cover of the album to place present and future photographs in for all your happy memories! Lastly, you could also consider making a "handmade" unique photo gift Valentine’s Day card.

This will let you choose from a design, your own text and colors, and a photo of whatever you want on the front of the card. Pretty cool! Now you have absolutely no excuse to get brandished for not getting yet another Valentine’s Day gift!

Most people actually like receiving home made things and personalized photo gifts. It's nice because it's less expensive for the buyer/sender, but it's still nice enough to where it will make an impact on the receiver of the gift. There is a whole myriad of inexpensive and yet personal gift ideas out there some of which you can find right here! One of the most popular options is unique photo gifts. This is when you take as photo (any photo) and place it on a product such as aprons, cutting boards, t-shirts, or even a mug or mouse pad.

Its super easy to do, especially when you try out a site such as ours that offers personalized photo gifts. All you need is a computer, a digital photo and the Internet - were assuming you already have two out of three or you wouldn't be reading this! Another cool gift idea regarding photos or "art" is to get a personalized photo gift collage done. This can be done by sending the company website a photo and they will add a photo attribute over the photo. For example, you can choose to have the photo look like it was done in a stencil and it will actually look like someone stenciled the photograph.

Or you can choose an antique look and the photo will have a sepia or burnt sienna color to it - this one is great for older photographs of grandma and grandpa, but can be done with anyone in mind! And lastly, another option for unique photo gifts is to make Christmas cards or other cards. These can be done at home on your own, or you could get a business like ours to do it for you. Its cost efficient, we do all the work for you, and you reap the benefits!

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!
