Snapfish Personalised Christmas Gifts*

I’ve had a few chances to work with Snapfish this year and I am very grateful for the opportunities. When I was contacted to showcase some more personalised Christmas gifts, I jumped at the chance to create some really exciting Christmas goods!

You can’t go wrong with a festive mug. There are plenty of colour options available and I decided red would really fit in with the festive season.  There are new designs, embellishments and plenty of text options can be used on the mugs to create something really unique and special. I used some of the photos from my festive photo-shoot and added some Christmas themed embellishments. Gift this to someone stuffed full of hot chocolate sachets and marshmallows for the perfect gift. These cost just £8.99.

I never knew that Snapfish sold Personalised Christmas Round Acrylic Ornaments so I took the opportunity to purchase one of these too using one of my festive photos. I love how unique this looks on my tree and I think I will have to start a tradition and get one done every year now! The image is glossy on one side and matte on the other so you can use it both ways if you don’t have any text included. You can add any photo you like. The photo is placed underneath a round piece of acrylic keeping it well protected and the image is clear and easy to see.

I ordered a selection of 7”x5” greetings cards which I could then personalise myself. Prices start at just 75p. There were so many Christmas templates to choose from and the cards were very reasonably priced. Me and  James took a few Christmas themed family photos beforehand, cracking out the festive jumper and accessories especially for the photos on the cards. I even got my cat involved and added him to a few of the cards too. Customising the templates was so easy to do. I chose a design I liked from the huge range of cards available then swapped out the template photos for my own. I was then able to change the text on the front of the card, and add text on the inside too. There was also the option of adding photos inside the card which I think is a nice touch. The quality is really good and each card comes complete with an envelope ready for you to send to your recipient.

Snapfish Personalised Stocking Stuffer Ideas*

Christmas is less than a month away now and you may have seen my post this time last year on the amazing stocking fillers available at Snapfish. I have very kindly been gifted a voucher for this year to enable me to choose even more great personalised gifts from the fantastic range of items. Snapfish is a leading online photo service where you can store, share and print your most precious photos. They not only offer great personalised photo gifts, you can also get your photos developed at competitive prices.

 

The perfect winter warmer is a delicious hot chocolate so turn this gift into something personal by getting a personalised photo mug and stuffing it with hot chocolate sachets and mini marshmallows. You could even pair this gift with the coasters! You can really use your imagination when it comes to creating personalised items. There new designs, embellishments and plenty of text options can be used on the mugs to create something really unique and special. The mugs cost £7.99. I decided to use some more photos of Macy but this time to collage a few of them so I could make use of all of the photos I took. I then added plenty of pet themed embellishments to really make the mug look unique. I think the mug looks so professional with the added embellishments. 

 

Gifts for pet lovers are hard to come by, my mum has got a French bulldog and the standard Frenchie merchandise simply doesn’t look like Macy her dog. I love that with Snapfish you can personalise everyday items and get the exact design you want. I had a fun day with Macy taking some high quality photos of her and decided it would be a great idea to put one of these photos on some photo coasters, a brilliant personalised Christmas gift! Last year you had the option to create 6 different unique coasters however it seems this year there is only the option to receive 6 coasters of the same design which is a shame. I absolutely love the addition of the embellishment feature, the categories are split across multiple themes. I chose the pet theme which enabled me to add some cute slogans or speech bubbles to the coasters to really make them unique. There are also other categories such as ‘baby’, ‘special occasions’ and ‘friends and family’ with so many options to choose from. The coasters are heat resistant with a non-slip cork backing and measures 4”x 4”. A set of 6 coasters costs just £12.99. Why not complete the gift by popping some treats for the pet in the stocking too, animals deserve presents at Christmas too!

As a little extra stocking filler I ordered a 10 x 8” collage photo print which can then be customised and framed however you wish. This print cost just £1.89 and when framed it makes a really nice gift for someone.

Finally for that tech savvy teen, a personalised phone case is the perfect gift and prices start at only £11.99. Again, embellishments of all shapes, sizes and types can be added. It’s easy to move them around and change their shape and size. For this cat lover I placed a couple of photos of their cat, flipped them around and added some cat themed stickers to the design.

I always find that with Snapfish the delivery times are really good and you are kept in the loop about your order. Snapfish emailed me to let me know when things when my order had been received and again when it had shipped which was really handy. Everything came nicely packaged and protected to prevent any damage to the items. I really hope you’ve got some ideas for personalised Christmas stocking fillers! For more great ideas, head over to Snapfish and look at their Stocking Stuffer Photo Gifts. What will you be buying for your loved ones?

Valentine's Day Gifts feat. Snapfish*

The most romantic day of the year is nearly upon us and I love buying my other half a gift that is not only personal but unique. Whenever I am looking for personalised gifts, I always turn to Snapfish. They have a great range of Personalised Valentines Gifts consisting of beautiful photo books, canvases, cushions, mugs and many more items that can be personalised to your exact standards using any photos or text that you like. There are endless possibilities for product customisation so you can really make a unique gift that can be cherished for years to come and help you to preserve those special memories.

My boyfriend and I are planning to move out this year so I chose some special gifts that we can bring into our own home. The Snapfish Photo Cushions can be personalised however you like and make a great gift. I toyed with the idea of having a photo of us on there, but went for something more subtle and designed it with a romantic quote “You are my sunshine”. I just know the cushion is going to make us smile every time we sit down. I designed the cushion using  photo editing software and uploaded the design straight onto the website. The 11x11 sized cushion is perfect and only £19.99 . I was really impressed with the quality. The front face of the cushion is made from heavyweight fabric with a canvas feel to it. The reverse is soft faux suede in a ‘fawn’ colour. The cushion cover features a hidden zip too.

I also bought one of the Snapfish photo prints that I put into a frame. Prices start from just 7p a print which is absolutely excellent value. The quality is always sharp and you can order a range of sizes for your prints.

The final gift I purchased was the personalised photo keyring. I used the same photo as I did in the frame of me and my boyfriend. It is something he can keep close by and the photo is protected in a sturdy good quality acrylic housing.

My order arrived very quickly and is always nicely packaged in ‘do not bend’ envelopes. Snapfish https://www.snapfish.co.uk/ have never let me down when it comes to good quality personalised gifts.

Order by 9th February to get your gift in time for Valentine’s Day. For 30% off photo panels, cushions, phone cases and mugs use code SP216 by 14th February 2016.

Stocking Stuffer Ideas Feat. Snapfish*

Christmas is less than a month away now and I don’t know about you, but I am finalising all of my presents and stocking up on those little stocking stuffers that really finish off a Christmas gift. I class a stocking stuffer as something small that is generally less than £10. This is where Snapfish is great, with its huge range of personalised gifts at great prices, you can find something for everyone. I’ve gotten creative this year and decided to design some lovely personalised gifts for all of the family.

For the Couple

My brother has recently moved in with his Girlfriend so I decided to get him some personalised coasters as a house-warming gift that also doubles up as being quite practical. I chose to use a scrabble letter design, knowing they would like this and that it would match other decor in their house. With Snapfish, anything is possible with the designs. You can upload photos to your coasters or even quotes. It is easy to create 6 individual different designs or a matching set.  A set of 6 coasters costs just £9.99 which is great value for such a lovely personalised gift. You could also add a set of photo mugs to go with them.

For the Animal Lover 
We all have that one friend or family member who is obsessed with their pet. What better way to treat them this Christmas than to order them something with their much-loved animal on it. Snapfish have a great range of personalised photo magnets starting at just £2.99, collage prints from 11p and customised photo mugs from £7.99 that you can fill with sweets. I chose to use different photos for each of the gifts and I just know the animal lover of the family is going to love waking up to these on Christmas morning. Complete the gift by popping some treats for the pet in the stocking too, animals deserve presents at Christmas too!

For the Kids

If you’re buying for a child who is a great lover of stationery then look no further than the great range available at Snapfish. Why not treat your loved one to a customised notebook with a photo from their favourite TV show priced from £5.99, a personalisedkey-ring for £2.99 and some personalised stickers for £2.49. Kids love stickers and you can complete the gift with a set of pens or pencils which will keep them busy for hours come Christmas day.

Another great idea would be to buy a personalised calendar ready for 2016. I have previously reviewed these here.

I really hope you’ve got some ideas for personalised Christmas stocking fillers! For more great ideas, head over to Snapfish and look at their Stocking Stuffer Photo Gifts. What are you buying for your loved ones?

Preserving Summer Memories with Snapfish*

I recently met up with my friend Sabrina for a day out and we decided to head to Great Yarmouth. We had no real vision for what we were going to do, but decided to visit Merrivale Model Village. Merrivale is a fictional village set out across beautiful landscape gardens, streams and waterfalls. It cost us £7 each to get in and we were there a good 2 hours looking around all of the scenes.

The more we walked around, the more we discovered. Even when editing the photos I discovered more people in funny positions and more scenarios each time I looked at the pictures. I think Merrivale is aimed mainly at children, me and my friend in our mid 20's actually loved walking round here and had a really great time interacting with the scenes and pressing the buttons.

There were plenty of funny scenarios such as the above, and even a streaker on the football pitch! These little touches really made the day entertaining and there was plenty to keep our eyes busy. I took so many photos, I wanted to find a way to keep them so my friend and I could remember this great day so I headed to Snapfish to check out their bestsellers. Snapfish UK specialises in photo printing and personalised photo gifts so I knew I would find the perfect gift.

I decided to order some prints that I could turn into a lovely photo gift. I loved how Katie from The White Journal displayed her holiday memories and I wanted to create something similar with my Snapfish photo prints. It was really easy to chose the prints I wanted, and I added a white border to them to make them look a bit like Polaroids. Prices start at just 11p!

I then collaged the photos onto a plain piece of card adding some embellishments. I framed the piece and love how it turned out. It would make the perfect personalised photo gift, the only problem is I wanted to keep it for myself!

I then created a Hallmark photo mug that I could give to my friend as a gift to say thank you for a lovely day out. I chose a photo of the two of us. I picked a 'wanted' design which is fitting because we've always been partners in crime. This Hallmark photo mug was only £7.99.

To remember my day in a way that is easier to display I created a collage print. These are so simple to create as you simply add your chosen photos online and Snapfish will auto-fill the collage for you and you can tweak it however you like. I ordered a couple of these 7"x5" prints for just 22p each!

I have so many great memories from this day, thank you Snapfish for helping me to preserve and share these moments.

On a separate note, Snapfish also sell a range of personalised photo stickers and I got some little ones made with my blog logo. These are perfect for sealing treat bags full of sweets that I can give out and promote my blog at the same time. You could even pop these treats into one of the photo mugs which would make a great gift.

I had a lovely day with my friend Sabrina. We also played mini golf and walked so many miles and I'm so happy with my personalised photo gifts from Snapfish. Where have you been for a day out lately? How do you preserve your memories?
