Canvas and Wall Decor
Distressed Floating Frame
A popular wood frame in distressed dark gray is sure to match any decor style. This frame holds an 8×10 photo and includes a printed matte surrounding. The fact that it can be hung vertically or horizontally means you don’t have to compromise on which picture you choose to display. Since the pic you decide on is permanently affixed in the frame though, be sure to choose the one with your best smiles!
Framed Canvas Prints
Let’s talk about dressing up the walls for the newlyweds in your life. CVS Photo has endless options for displaying photos — including a premium canvas with a classic black floating frame that wedding photos are sure to look stunning on. You can create a canvas with one full photo or go with a collage style. Adding text is even an option. There are six sizes to choose from but it appears the most popular is 11×14, as that specific size is available for same day pickup.
Photo Books and Calendars
8.5×11 Custom Cover Layflat Photo Book
Feeling especially creative? If so, this is the exact type of personalized gift you have been seeking and it is sure to be treasured for years to come. Highlight all the best memories to create a year-in-review or include ALL the photos from this year’s annual family photo shoot. It’s yours to customize, right down to the cover and spine. The standard book is 20 pages but can be expanded to include up to 100 pages for an additional fee per page. Once this project is complete, it might be hard to buy just one.
4×6 Print Book
These smaller customizable books would make the most darling stocking stuffers for little kids and big kids alike. A frosted cover keeps this mini book of 10 pics protected and the simple spiral binding makes it easy to flip through. This one can be put together super quick and — you guessed it — picked up the same day.
Desktop Calendar
Many of us had to head back to the office this year and if your loved one had to do the same, a thoughtful photo gift could make their real office space feel a little more like their home office space. And this desktop calendar is the obvious choice. It measures just 4”x8”, so it won’t take up too much desk real estate and can be customized for a full 12 months. You even get to decide what month to start on.
Prints and Cards
Collage Prints
What a fun way to display multiple pictures all on one sheet. Depending on what size collage print you want to create there are various layouts available. With seven sizes to choose from for same day pickup, it’s going to be hard to decide, but the 6”x6” square prints are definitely giving off instagram vibes.
5×7 Flat Photo Cards
Don’t forget the greeting cards! You’re sure to brighten up mailboxes near and far this season with a personalized family photo greeting. You can definitely design your own from scratch but CVS Photo has a ton of templates at the ready. It’s easy to filter those down based on the number of photos you want to include, the orientation of the photos and even background colors. These flat cards are printed on traditional glossy photo paper and come in sets of 20 with envelopes included. Be sure to use promo code 40HOLIDAY to receive 40% off your card order.
5×7 Double Sided Cardstock Photo Cards
If you would like to include more photos or an extended personalized message on your greeting cards this year, may we recommend designing a double sided card. Photos on the front, text on the back or a combination of both. These are printed on stationary quality cardstock and also come in sets of 20 with envelopes. The same array of templates are available as with the flat cards but with more space to share the love.
Other Sweet Gifts
Custom Cover Journal
Poets, storytellers and writers always need a place to organize their thoughts when inspiration strikes. There’s just something about putting pen to paper that hits different. This customizable and oh-so-thoughtful gift would be perfect for students, teachers or book club friends as well. It’s small enough to tote around daily yet large enough to jot down the biggest ideas within the 50 lined layflat pages.
Photo Mugs
No day can officially start without a proper cup of coffee. Make that morning ritual more fun by gifting a personalized mug. Your image of choice will wrap around the face of the mug and then you can dress up the exterior with embellishments or text. These ceramic necessities come in an 11- or 15-ounce size and are microwavable and dishwasher safe.
