This time of year, we are all in over our heads with Christmas shopping. Most of us are at a loss for thoughtful gifts. Have no fear, I am here to save the day!! Ha!! What kind of photographer would I be if i didn’t give you some ideas for cool personalized photo gifts?
totally cool personalized photo
gifts
I love the fact that these are all personalized, thoughtful gifts. There’s nothing sweeter than getting a gift that a loved one put a little bit of time and thought into. The best part- these photo gifts can all be ordered online, and only take a few minutes to put together.

1. Rose Gold Bangle
I love how subtle and pretty this is. I have been dying to try my hand at making my own photo jewelry, but I have talked myself out of it because of all of the tools I would need to buy. This is the perfect solution.
2. Personalized Memory Game
Memory with personalized pictures, how awesome is that?
3. Personalized rock slate photo
This is such a unique way to print a picture, and you don’t even have to do the work. Just upload your picture, and the company does the work for you. Super easy!
4. Photo calendar
Every year, I say i’m going to do this, and every year, I forget. I’m really not sure what the issue is. shutterfly sells wall calendars, desk calendars, and calendar posters. They’re all insanely easy to make. In fact, I made myself one while I was researching for this post, took me 10 minutes, tops! Grandparents, dads, moms, aunts, uncles, even the kids would love this photo gift!!
5. RitzPix Photo Wall Clock
This is such a fun way to display a picture!! It would be super cute for grandparents, or even a fun way to teach time.
6. Personalized stainless steel mug
I love this updated version of a regular mug. Plaster those vacation pictures, shots of the grandkids, or couples pics all over that sucker!!
7. Fleece Blanket
I love this idea for so many reasons. How cute would it be with pictures of your kids’ artwork on it, or just the many faces of one of your wild things, or family pictures. The possibilities are endless, and any one of my kids would be so pumped to have one of these!
8. Iphone Cases
Talk about making it easy to identify your phone!! Again, shutterfly (<—another big, scary affiliate link!) delivers! Solid gift for anyone that has a phone–which is pretty much everyone you know!
9. Pillows
I have made these (you can check out the tutorial here) in the past with photo transfer paper, and a little bit of sewing, but honestly, it’s just cheaper and faster this way!! I love all the designs they have!!
10. Personalized, scented candles
I love how classic these look. There are so many different options too!
11. Christmas ornaments
Every year, we get the kids each an ornament for their stockings. And, every year, I wish I would have remembered to get one “family” ornament. This is it!! I would love to have the picture from our Christmas card each year added to an ornament. Actually, I’m thinking I could even make ornaments from year’s past pictures!! Hooray for saving hot-mess mamas who never got around to doing things!
12. Glass Paperweight
The perfect gift for anyone who has an office. So, basically, anyone!
I hope you found something fun and thoughtful in this list. There is still plenty of time to get a personalized gift ordered in time for Christmas! And, hey, who says that’s the only time you can give one of these gifts??

Erin says
My mom asks for a photo calendar every year and it’s always one of her favorite gifts. I need to order a new iPhone case for myself, so thanks for the idea. I’ll ask for it as a present from someone since I can never think of any gift ideas.
