Digital Photo Gifts
Special Photo Items You Can Create

People love digital photo gifts. They can be a lot of fun and that special photo can be viewed in interesting ways...not just as a photo in a frame or online. Sometimes they can be corny, but other times the items can be very special. Sites like Shutterfly, Kodak Gallery, SmugMug and many others can help you transform simple pictures in great gifts.

If you have a little sister that loves princess stories, you can surprise her with a picture of her in the middle of a fairy tale characters group. How about a calendar made of your photos with a picture on the cover and also one image for each month? You can also make each page a collage of different photos.

You can be as creative as you like. Would you like a T-Shirt with that great photo from last summer's vacation? It's so easy to create.

A great gift is a personalized mug made by using digital photos. What could be nicer than drinking your everyday morning coffee from a mug that has a great image on it? It might be a nice scene that you shot, the face of your child, or how about your beloved dog or cat!

How do you do this? Piece of cake! Just go online to Shutterfly.com (or any of the other sites mentioned above) and follow the easy directions. You can even use the free Shutterfly Studio to create a collage for the mug you like. For just $15, you can have a great digital photo gift, microwave and dishwasher safe.

If you would like something different, you can make a poster collage. At Shutterfly, these come in various sizes. The poster is can have a large dimension of 20 x 30, a smaller one of 8 x 10, or sizes in between. The collage can have up to 30 pictures, and you can choose from many different backgrounds and layouts.

Digital photo gifts can be as simple as a fridge magnet. The process is the same: pick you digital photo, follow the steps described on the site and in a few days you can have on your fridge a magnet with that photo on. Cool and simple!

But what about something that could be found in an art gallery? Coolest digital photo gifts of the year: photo canvas prints. You can order a canvas print of your favorite vacation picture. Sometimes you have a great shot that you would like to display. What a great way to show it off.

Canvas prints can be hung with or without frames. They can be printed in many color choices, whether you like full color, black and white or sepia tones.
