Guide to Designing a Custom Photo Gift
Words.
Words can be powerful when mixed with emotion and meaning.
But Photos & Images can do all the talking without saying a word as we all know.
It has been said the phrase ‘a picture paints a thousand words’ can be originated back to a Fred R. Barnard in the early 20th century who said ‘one look is worth a thousand words’.
Photo gifts hold memories, can be sentimental and in essence have a lot of meaning for the people whose lives are involved ie the gift recipients and gift givers.
They are great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day etc.
If your looking to create a photo mug, canvas, pillow, personalized keychain or whatever personalized gift product this post guide you through the process.
In this post, we'll guide you through a step-by-step process of making your own custom photo gift that your loved one will treasure for a lifetime.
Custom Photo Gift Step by Step Process
Step 1: Choose the Photo Gift Product for the Person & Occasion
First, choose the product that best fits both the recipient and the occasion.
Consider:
Photo Mugs – Perfect for everyday use and morning routines.
Custom Canvas Prints – Perfect for home decor or special occasions.
Personalized Pillows or Blankets – Great for cozy, sentimental gifts.
Engraved Photo Keychains – Tiny and thoughtful reminders of love.
Photo Jewelry – Subtle yet powerful way to keep loved ones close.
Think about your recipient's personality and lifestyle in choosing the suitable item.
Step 2: Choose the Perfect Photo
Now it's time to choose the lead player in this show ie: the Photo.
Tips for choosing the right one:
Use high-resolution photos for best print quality.
· Choose a photo with good lighting, a clear shot ( with no obstruction in the photo image )
· You will know the photo that the photo recipient will enjoy on the photo gift.
· Black-and-white photos work beautifully for more classic or elegant gifts.
Photo Collage Options
Some products take 1 Photo.
Other products then have the options of Collage Photos ie so a number of Photo images can be added to the product.
Think of a Photo Collage option for a blanket, where the customer can upload 5 photos the blanket for example.
Step 3: Upload the Photo
Most personalized gift stores (including ours!) offer easy-to-use design tools that let you preview your product in real-time.
The software will do the work but you will have to choose the customization options you want.
Each Product Listing will specify what customization is available for that product.
As in – one product you might be able to customize with just a Photo.
Then next product you might be able to customize with a Photo and Text.
Add a Personal Message
The product listing will tell you if you can add a Personal Message to the product.
You chose the personal message and type it into the product listing.
Try and keep it short and sweet, as the writing text on the product will then be more visual and more pronounced.
Step 4: Review and then Order
Before you click "Add to Cart," be sure to double-check your Order and an Order Preview.
