What Gifts Can Be Made From Photos?

Whether you’re getting a head start on your holiday shopping, or celebrating a special occasion with a loved one, gifts with a personal touch are often the most treasured and appreciated. And what can be more personal than gifts with photos on them?

After all, creative photo gifts give the recipient a chance to reminisce their happiest memories, whether you personalise the products with photographs from their wedding, an unforgettable vacation or a simple day at the beach. Furthermore, studies suggest that looking at photographs makes us happier, as “looking back and reminiscing on happy times and special moments, creates an 'emotional bubble' – as if it's on auto-response in which we return to that moment.”

However, with hundreds of products to choose from, finding the right gift can be hard - but that’s where we come in. At The Personalised Gift Shop, our speciality is all things personalised and unique, which means that we have a range of photo gifts on offer for the special people in your life.

Unique Gifts Made From Photos

A variety of different gifts can be made using your favourite photographs and special memories - many of which don’t require you to grab your glue and scissors and try to put together a scrapbook (though these can go down a treat too). In fact, it's often as simple as uploading your favourite photos to our site and seeing which products showcase them in the best possible light. We offer a range of professionally created gifts that you can’t create at home.

We’ve carefully selected each and every product on our site so that they can be fully personalised or customised to your needs.

At The Personalised Gift Shop, there are plenty of creative photo gifts available. This includes:

• Photo Blocks.

• Photo Frames.

• Photo Glass.

• Photo Slates.

• Photo Puzzles.

• Photo Ceramics.

• Photo Clocks.

• Photo Coasters.

• Photo Ornaments.

• Photo Magnets.

• Photo Serving Tray.

Photo Blocks

Wooden photo blocks are a great gift for those who love to display photographs in their home but want to steer away from more traditional photo canvases and frames in favour of something a little more unique. Instead of materials such as canvas, the photos that you upload are printed directly onto a solid pine block that is free-standing, adding a ‘rustic’ or eco-friendly touch to the photographs and blending seamlessly into their home’s interior design style.

Photo Frames

Personalised photo frames, such as our All Occasions Personalised Photo Frame are another great way to turn photographs into presents that everyone will love or fawn over. After all, photo frames are incredibly versatile gifts, and you can either fill them with photographs yourself or leave this decision up to the recipient.

Photo Glass

Whether you opt for a large landscape photo glass or portrait photo glass, these products are a wonderful way to make magical memories last forever and will have your image printed directly onto the glass. Their sleek and simplistic design also means they look great in any setting, whether the recipient chooses to display the photo glass in their home or on their desk at work. If you’re reflecting on your love for a special person, you could buy a photo glass product that displays the picture in a mirror frame.

Photo Slates

Personalised photo slates are another amazing gift and are especially well-suited to guests with a unique style in home decor - i.e., those who want to stand out from the crowd. After all, hanging photo slates on the wall is a unique design choice that stands out from more traditional methods of displaying memories. Photo slates can also be used to display on table tops or as coasters or place mats, making them a versatile choice.

Photo Puzzles

Turning your photographs into puzzles essentially provides the recipients with two gifts in one! After all, not only will they get to give their brain a workout by trying to piece together the image, but they’ll also be able to display the puzzle proudly when they are finished. You could even show some love to the recipient by opting for our heart-shaped photo puzzle. Photo puzzles could also present a unique challenge for the recipient as they work to guess which photograph you have selected before the puzzle is complete. You could even set them a challenge to complete the puzzle within a certain time frame.

Photo Ceramics

Mugs, plates and other ceramic products are always popular when it comes to finding a gift for loved ones. After all, not only are they available in a wide range of styles and colours, but they’re also practical. They are something that the recipient can use every day. However, you can take this to the next level by purchasing ceramic gifts with photos on, such as personalised photo ceramic plates or a personalised ceramic photo mug. Many of these products also give you the chance to add some text too!

Photo Clocks

Now is the perfect time to purchase a personalised clock for a friend or loved one. While they may wish they could turn back time whenever they look at the clock, showcasing their favourite memories on products they use every day is sure to bring a smile to their face. This might make it a little easier to get up in the morning or stop them from being late for an all-important meeting, and they’re also a great way to help them add a more personal touch to their home, office or workspace.

Photo Coasters

Personalised Coasters are an excellent gift, they make a magnificent talking point and they’re a great way to help the recipient add the perfect finishing touch to their home. They’re also highly practical as they will protect furniture from being damaged by heat stains. Photo coasters are also the perfect size to make fantastic stocking fillers come Christmas time. We have a wide range of photo coasters on offer, whether you’re looking for round coasters, square coasters or even coasters made from more unique materials, such as wood, ceramic, slate or glass. Upload your photos to our exclusive range today!

Photo Ornaments

If you are looking for the perfect gift for the festive season, perhaps for a secret Santa exchange or something similar, you can’t go wrong with purchasing a personalised photo ornament or hanging decoration. After all, they then get to decorate their home or tree with extra special memories! We have a wide variety of personalised photo ornaments on offer, meaning you can easily find one that suits your chosen photograph. For example, wedding photographs or romantic photos of couples will look great when turned into a heart-shaped ornament.These are perfect for weddings, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day or just to say I love you.

Photo Magnets

Personalised photo magnets make for great stocking fillers during the holiday period, but are a great gift no matter what time of year it may be. As a result, now is the perfect time to turn their favourite photographs, from engagement photos to newborn snaps into fridge magnets. This way, they can enjoy their magical memories each time they step into the kitchen. In fact, it can be a great way for them to look back on different stages in their life.

Photo Serving Tray

Kitchen accessories are a great example of a stylish, yet practical gift. They’ll go down particularly well with bakers, chefs, those who love to entertain their guests by cooking up a storm in the kitchen or those that enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake.. With that in mind, one way in which you can turn photos into gifts is by printing them onto serving trays. You could display a single image on a Photo Serving Tray or gather a handful of your favourite pics into a Photo Collage Serving Tray. These magnificent trays are also perfect to surprise your loved one with breakfast in bed!

Final thoughts

So, whether you’re looking for a gift for someone specialor trying to get ahead on the holiday shopping rush, you can’t go wrong with turning photographs into gifts. From traditional frames to more unique choices, such as photo blocks and slates - each option is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face. This is because they’ll know that you’ve put a great deal of time and effort into finding a gift with true meaning and sentimentality behind it.

However, you should always make sure that you upload high-quality photographs when personalising your gifts. Failure to select the best photographs at this stage could impact the quality of your product, and you want them to look as good as possible if you’re out to impress. If you can’t find the right photo, treat this as an opportunity to schedule a photoshoot with your friends and loved ones.
