When you think of personalised gifts, especially photo gifts maybe your mind just heads to mugs with photos on, or a keyring or mousemat. The kind of items that schools photographers offer for far too much money. But if that is the case then let me tell you, you are seriously out of touch. The personalised gift market has exploded and there are now so many amazing gifts you can buy that are unique and personal to your friends or family. They also don't have to cost the earth and you can get a high-quality gift for an affordable price.
For quite a number of years now I have been buying personalised photo gifts for my family and in the case of my mum, I think I'd have an uproar if I didn't get her a photo kitchen calendar each year. I truly love the whole process of sitting at my laptop and spending a while going through my photos to choose the perfect ones for whichever project I am working on. It gives me a different pace to my regular work and I'm able to daydream and relive the memories from when the images were captured.
Then the software used by Wanapix makes it really easy to personalise your chosen item, be it with photos, text or both. The upload times for the photos was really quick (although of course, some of that is down to your internet) and the system was easy to navigate with an advanced edit mode making each item truly customisable. I have to be honest, it was far easier and more intuitive than another similar website I've used recently. I do love finding a new great supplier that I can order from!
Let me share with you some of my favourite picks from the Wanapix website, they have crazy amounts of items to choose from. You certainly will find something for every occasion or recipient.
For your Tween/ Teen - Personalised Blanket, from £21.12
My kids all love to have a good snuggle, whether it is on the bed, sofa, floor or even outside enjoying a smore. Personalised blankets are an amazing gift that lasts for years. In this time of throwaway gifts and things only lasting a short while it is great to invest in a gift that washes well and is timeless. Have a look at my daughter Miss M who I caught snuggled up the other day with her photo fleece. We made this back in 2016 and it was a Christmas gift for her. Here she is five years later still using that gift and it looks like new.
For Grandma - Photo Calendar - from £9.24
For as long as I can remember we have made my mum a photo calendar for each Christmas. This is something that she loves. It is so practical as she records all her appointments and she displays it on the kitchen wall. I know she also keeps them all once they are finished as it's a growing record of her grandchildren as they age and mature.
For New Parents First Christmas - Tree Bauble - from £6.07
That first Christmas with your new baby is always a very special time and you can help the new parents remember and mark it by giving them a beautiful tree decoration to be used each Christmas for many years to come.
For the Pre-Schooler - Photo Puzzle - from £8.71
For the Band Dad/ Uncle - Pack of 4 Guitar Picks - £13.20
How different is this as a gift? If you know someone who loves to play the guitar then this will be a very welcome present any time of the year. You get a set of 4 and each can be different, with just words, photos, graphics or a mix of them all.
I could literally go on and on with this post as there are so many different options for personalised gifts on Wanapix, but I think the best idea is that you head over yourself and have a look to see what might be a great gift idea for your friends or family.
Have fun creating and don't forget to check out the personalised blankets.
