Shutterfly Holiday Cards – it’s not too early to get started on your holiday cards!

Shutterfly photo giftsI can’t believe it but we have NEVER had a professional family portrait taken.  One of my all time favorite family photographs was one that my mother took of Tim, Sebastian and I (pre-Madelyn years) in front of the Christmas tree.  So, I printed a million of them and put them in Christmas cards.  I haven’t done that since.  Call it lazy, over-whelmed.. I don’t know.  It’s just not happening.   That’s why I’ll be designing and getting our holiday cards from Shutterfly.com this year.  Now to find someone to lucky enough to try and get a great photo of the four of us!  I’ll be sure to update you all when that happens! 🙂

Besides a huge selection of holiday cards, Shutterfly offers shoppers a great selection of photo gifts including wall calendars and stationary.

Gigantikes

I can’t believe how cute this idea is. It’s not very often that I run into brand new ideas or products that I haven’t seen before, but this is one of them.

Gigantikes will print your favorite photograph in a huge scale on or next to things like the statue of liberty, the white house, or up high in the mountains.. whoever is in the photograph is much larger than those silly little mountains.

Scenes include: The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, The White House, The Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and Houses of Parliament in  London, The Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, The Leaning Tower of Pisa in  Italy, The Capital Building in San Francisco, and the Giants Stadium in New Jersey.

The process is simple. First you join Gigantikes, free. Then you upload your favorite photographs. There is a photo upload guide with tips to help you choose the best photographs for your Gigantikes products. After you upload photographs, they are stored in your "upload gallery". Next, you choose what product you want your photograph printed on. Products include greeting cards, a mouse pad, t-shirt, post cards, note cards, and more. After you choose a product, you are able to choose a scene that you want printed on the product and then you choose which photograph you want to use from your upload gallery. You can pick up to 3 photograph choices per product you want to purchase and they will choose the photograph that they think will work best with the scene you choose. After you choose your photograph and scene you can enter text to be displayed on your merchandise.

It’s fast and easy! The process is very easy and quick. It took me no longer than 5 minutes to upload my photograph, choose a product and a scene and then enter my text.

Gigantikes are a great holiday greeting card idea. You can also order simple photographs for albums which is a great gift to give grandparents, aunts, uncles and family friends.
