Cheap Photo Gifts for Christmas
- Some credit card companies issue gift cards that you can purchase for the minimum amount of $10 with a $5.95 fee. Personalize the credit card gift card by uploading a photo of the person. This can be the right gift for family members as well as coworkers. In addition to the photo, you can add the recipient's name and a short message. The recipient should greatly appreciate the gift because she can use the gift card in most retail stores.
- A scrapbook is a meaningful gift that your friend or family member should cherish. Purchase a good-quality scrapbook from a book store if you can put some money towards the gift. An inexpensive alternative is to use an empty journal that you already have. The scrapbook can memorialize a specific event, such as the first year of a child's life or your best friend's graduation. Decorate the scrapbook elaborately with ribbons, markers and plastic jewels.
- A photo calendar is a good gift for Christmas because your friends may need a new calendar for the upcoming year. Online photo retailers permit you to upload photos and add captions as well as titles. The budget-friendly alternative is to create the calendar without ordering it from a retailer. Simply log on to a website that has blank calendars, such as calendarlabs.com, to print off each month of the year. Then glue on photos that you print at home on good-quality photo paper.
- Show off your artistic skills by creating a slideshow DVD with photos. A slide-show DVD is a sentimental gift that a friend or relative should greatly appreciate. Your best friend or fiance should be excited to look back at photos from the years that you have had together. Simply upload your photos from your camera onto your computer. Computer software, such as Photo Story for Windows, can be helpful. A nice touch is to create and design a personalized DVD cover.
