Adding a custom image to a pendant she purchased is super easy and one way to make sure those memories last forever.
2. Custom Photo Bags
In recent years, one of the most popular fashion accessories has been the handbag. Every fashionable girl needs one, and many have a huge collection of different bags. A great gift idea for an important woman in your life is to design and make a personalized bag. Such a bag can include a large photo of grandchildren, pets, or something near and dear to that person’s heart. A photo bag is a gift that is guaranteed to be both trendy and unique.
3. Alphabet Photo Letters
Everyone is always looking for a new piece of art to decorate their home. If you have a friend whose walls are empty, a great idea is to give that friend artwork made up of alphabetic photos that spell out that person’s name or a word that is important to him or her. You can create these works of art yourself by taking your camera around the city and enlarging those photos.
4. Mugs with personalized photos
Photo mugs make a great gift for just about anyone. They are especially adored by doting parents and grandparents who enjoy looking at their smiling loved ones every time they take a sip of coffee. You can create these photo mugs yourself using transfer paper that can be found cheap at many stores.
5. Custom Photo Wallets
One thing that men love is their wallets. A great gift idea is to give your father, brother, husband or boyfriend a personalized photo wallet. In this way, your wallet can help convey a bit of your personality.
