My Favourite Personalised Present Ideas From My Picture + Get 15% Off!

I’ve always loved taking photographs and I love having some around my home. I’m not keen on big posed family photographs on the walls; that’s just not my taste, but I love having some smaller ones in frames out and they often make me smile as I walk past them. They are mostly of my daughter and the odd one of our wedding – I particularly love the fun, natural happy ones with our friends and family that our photographer took.

I don’t print photos as often as I should anymore, but I do often buy personalised photo gifts for our family for birthdays and Christmas. I think they make really thoughtful gifts, particularly for grandparents and you can get so many different things now suitable for all tastes and styles.

There’s something really special about receiving a gift with a personal touch, and these personalised photo and print products all make gorgeous gifts.

My Favourite Personalised Present Ideas From My Picture

A wall calendar

I think a photo calendar makes a great gift as it is something that they can use and enjoy all year long. I’ve bought photo calendars with the grandchildren on a couple of times for grandparents and I even bought one for Ava full of photos of our puppy and her brothers and sisters (who we still talk to now – well their owners) which she absolutely loved and meant a lot to her.

My mum and step-dad live and travel round in a motorhome, so they are much harder to buy for as they just don’t have the space or the need for a lot of stuff. But a calendar is something they can hang easily, that doesn’t take up a lot of space but that they can use and enjoy the photos.

My-Picture.co.uk make a wide range of desk and wall calendars and planners at brilliant prices with loads of different options available – you can even choose to have it printed on real glossy photo paper which I think would look amazing.

A photo in a frame

I love a framed photo and have quite a few in my home and a couple on the wall too. I especially love the photos that are fun and natural and perhaps off the cuff and I love seeing them around my home.

For the walls, I love a simple white or black frame, usually with photos of the children in my life or my dog! I think taking the time to choose a photo someone loves and having it printed and framed is a very thoughtful gift for your loved ones, and My Picture make really high-quality ones that are simple to choose and order.

Personalised Star Map

If you’re after a present for someone who doesn’t necessarily have photos up around their house then a great alternative for a personalised gift is these cool prints made from your chosen memorable date. These personalised star maps show the exact configuration of stars at the time, date and place of the special event you choose and then you can also add your own personal dedication or wording if you like.

It would make a beautiful gift for new parents or as a wedding gift that they can treasure forever. I think they look really nice and you can choose from different background colours to suit them and their home style. You can also have them framed from the different options.

Photo mug

I think mugs make great gifts and I love receiving them myself (although my mug cupboard is extremely full already!) and a photo mug makes a lovely personalised gift for family or friends. It is something that they can get a lot of use out of (I think my favourite mugs almost get used more than my phone – I drink A LOT of tea!) and it’s a great gift if you don’t want to spend loads or as an extra gift. You can get different types too so you could choose an enamel mug if they love camping, for example.

You could even create a little gift set by filling the mug up with a melting hot chocolate stick and a small bag of marshmallows, or their favourite chocolate bars or some posh coffee or tea bags!

My Picture have a brilliant range of wall art and lifestyle products to suit all budgets and tastes. As well as all of my favourite products above, you can choose a cosy photo blanket (I think a massive blanket with my face on it would make a wonderful gift for all of my family members and then everyone can snuggle up with my beautiful face every night!!! Gosh I’m so tempted.), as well as jigsaws, photo books and more.

Personalised gifts like these make really special gifts for your loved ones and mean you can treasure your favourite photos and moments.
