Christmas Photo Gift Ideas

Christmas Photo Gift Ideas

Christmas is around the corner, and this year it looks like we will be able to celebrate it with our dear ones, which means we should start gathering gift ideas. 

This Christmas is going to be BIG, as many will try to make up for the lost Christmas of 2020, when life got paused. Take out your Shopping list and start making notes of Christmas gift ideas. 

This pandemic reminded us all how precious life is and how valuable are the people we love. 

With this in mind we recommend adding to your Christmas Shopping list meaningful gifts, and what can be more symbolic and significant than customised presents like the Christmas Photo Gifts.

As a photographer who is passionate about print, I always ask my clients “when was the last time you printed a picture of your family or an important person in your life?”, “when was the last time you gifted something that brought tears of joy to someone’s eyes”. 

This is the power of print. It connects you with the moment when the picture was taken because is tangible, and is physical, unlike all the images that we store in our phones. 

Hard Cover Photo Album 

What can be more convenient than to be able to quickly create a photo album straight from your phone, send it to print in no time, and receive it in less than two weeks, all this for under £30. 

Mobile Applications like Popsa can do exactly that. 

I created a small album with the very first images of my newborn niece, on my way to the airport one morning, and her mum and dad received it in the mail 10 days later, and they absolutely loved the gift.  

Personalised Yearly Calendar

I still remember when I created and ordered my first yearly calendar. It brought joy to my family that whole year, each month having to turn the page and see another funny image I carefully selected to be meaningful for that specific month. 

I wish I could have kept the tradition and print one every year since then, as now I would have had all those calendars to look at and reconnect with special moments in time. 

For example vistaprint.co.uk is a great website where you can design and print your custom calendar, amongst many, many other personalised products. Their prices are some of the most competitive on the UK market.

Luxury Photo Book

Photo Books are albums containing printed photos, and have a beautiful hard cover. 

Design your own luxury photo book, filling it up with pictures of the most significant moments in life. 

Rose Mood makes it so easy for you to create your book with their build in editor and preset layouts that offer a lot of variety and options for your design, while make it easy for you to design your own artwork. 

Here is their UK website: https://www.rosemood.co.uk

Folio box 

This is another lovely idea. But what is the difference between a photo book and a folio box, you might say. 

Well Photo Books are like books, the pages inside are bind together, whereas a Folio Box contains loose prints, that you can arrange and rearrange in any order you like, take them out and also gift them to different friends and family members. 

You can fill your Folio Box with prints of your children and family. 

Or maybe you prefer framed pictures or even a big canvas with best family portrait to decorate the blank walls in your house, and make it feel more like home.

How about a Christmas mini session for the family? 

Gifting experiences to people is even more valuable and memorable that printed products. 

There are plenty of photography studios in London, who do them as early as July, and because they are 15 to 20 minutes short sessions, they come at a great price. No need to spend a fortune on a full professional session to get yours Seasonal Card done in time for Christmas.

They are so many Christmas Photo Gift Ideas out there, just choose the one that your friends or family will enjoy best. 

My photography studio is specialised in family photography, and we offer Christmas Mini sessions every October. 

We also offer a variety of lux quality printed products perfect for a Christmas Gift, so you can offer the best to your loved ones.
