What photo gifts have you gotten and from where?

[redheadk]

I've heard Mpix is really nice.

I've used Snapfish before and was not impressed. I tried Shutterfly this time, which I doubt will be a whole lot better but I already had some pics on there so it was easier to make my books for the grandparents there.

I have only done the mug from Shutterfly but I've seen calendars, mouse pads and photo books

Oh, I made one of those mini accordian books on Mpix a few months ago. It was really nice! I was impressed. My mom and grandma loved them. Perfect size for a purse.

Where did you get this?

I just did calendars and mugs from shutterfly. I found the quality to be fine for something that isn't on display. I guess if it was a canvas or something I might spend a but more.

I've ordered the iPhone case from Shutterfly & I'm impressed with the quality. Not only picture quality, but the actual case will protect the phone.

This is the first time I've done photo gifts. I got my dad a silver frame from Pottery Barn inscribed with "DS and Grandpa." Cost $36. I got my mom a photo calendar from Tiny Prints. Cost $15.

I ordered a calendar and mug from shutterfly, a canvas print from picanova (there's a groupon for $19 right now), an iPhone case, mouse pad, canvas print, and ornament from staples (another groupon going on)

[smm5623]

I used shutterfly last year - I liked the ornament and photo books. Mouse pad, canvas print, and calendars were just ok. Coffee mugs have faded horribly and were not worth it.

Blurb has fantastic photo books - super impressed with their quality so I went that route this year.

shutterfly photo book and last year we did shutterfly calendars

[tcu2003]

I've done Shutterfly and Picaboo photo books. I hated the Picaboo website - the photo book turned out fine, but the website to create the book was not user-friendly.

I've also gotten ornaments from Mpix and loved how they turned out.

I just bought a phone case and a SS water bottle for my sister. The phone case is from PrinterPix and the water bottle is from CafePress. Both are deals on AmazonLocal today. They were each $10.

A couple of years ago I did wedding photo puzzles from Portrait Puzzles for parents & ILs, they turned out really well. I just did a collage in Picasa and sent them that file.

3 of 4 of VCB's grandparents are into puzzles, so we'll do them again for those three. Not sure what to do for the fourth. I checked around on Zazzle and Cafe Press and didn't see anything that jumped out at me.

[drloretta]

All of ours have been from shutterfly. We do an annual calendar and have done mousepads. Like niq we have family who are into puzzles and I heard ours turned out cute. We did engraved frames from Things Remembered for Mothers Day

When I try to upload a picture it says my picture is too large. How can I make my picture smaller? It's from the CD we got from our professional photographer!
