My Shutterfly Christmas presents

[rodent]

Thanks everyone! I just wanted to share incase it helps you get ideas for your own gifts. I wouldn't have thought to make a lot of this stuff if I hadn't seen similar things on the forum. It's great that we can share ideas so easily with a forum.

 

I love making photo gifts. Not just because it keeps me out of the mall this time of year. I just think they are so personal and people usually really like them. I posted one of the first photobooks I made on the forum. It was of our engagement pictures & I gave it to my grandma. She takes it with her everywhere!

 

I had so much fun making the list of funny things from our trip. I printed a copy for myself & it cracks me up. I can't wait to give this present to my friend & watch her open it.

I love this idea...I'm planning to do it too, just need to get started. We are planning to do one for my parents and Erik's parents. Pictures of our wedding in Cabo....

 

Procrastinating though....will do this weekend.

Thank you for the great idea.

Morgan, I am a Shutterfly addict myself. My cousin started making family calendars for Christmas so we alternate making them each year. I did a photocard for our engagement announcements. I have also made the ABC and Sesame Street books for FI's nieces and nephew, and plan to make one for my godson. Parents love them as they are more of a keepsake. You submit a faceshot of the child and they put it on the child character in the book. I think they were around $50 or so including shipping.

I saw the ABC & sesame street books. They are more like a book than the dora & diego ones which are more of a photo album. I made the dora & diego books, because I had codes for free 8x8 books. But, I think the ABC & Sesame street books might be a little nicer. I'm interested to see how the kids react to them. I know the moms will like them, but I don't know what a kid will think about it. I'll let y'all know.

I forgot to post our christmas cards. They were from shutterfly too.

Everyone really enjoyed thier shutterfly presents. I was a lot of fun giving everyone such personal gifts this year. I wasn't sure how the kids would react to the books, but they enjoyed them. They flipped through each page before opening the rest of their gifts.
