Stylish and Unique Photo Gift Ideas for the Holidays

It’s the holiday season… time to think of something creative and special for each person on your gift-giving list. Does that make you feel a wee bit stressed? Perhaps we can help.

Since we work in the photography field, we’re always keeping an eye on what’s new from photography vendors. With the gigantic improvements in print-on-demand technology and inkjet printing, there have never been more options for creating totally personal gifts with your photos.

But some of those photo mugs, mousepads, and T-shirts are… let’s face it, kind of cheesy. Are there any unique photo gift ideas out there?

Never fear. There are.

In the spirit of the holidays, we’ve created this guide for you (you can hum along to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” as you read):
