Personalised Gifts to Keep Family Close Even When Far Away

With Christmas fast approaching it is not only a time to think about what gifts to buy but to think about family, especially those of whom perhaps don't live near enough to see on a regular basis. I personally have grandparents that I don't get to see as often as I'd like and I think personalised gifts are a great way to give them a sense of having family nearby even if in reality they are further away than you'd like.

Snapfish provide a great service which enables customers to get as creative as they like with gifts from mugs and calendars to cushions and fridge magnets, using a wide range of embellishments, designs and tools, you can make something that is unique to the recipient and of course they make the perfect stocking fillers too.

The process of making the products is a easy one. Simply upload your chosen photos and place them where you wish. I had fun moving photos around, changing their sizes and positions. You can create collages or focus on single photos. Your gift can be as simple or as busy looking as you'd like, the choice is literally yours.

I adore the coasters. The image I used was actually taken on a mobile phone but it came out so clear and fit the shape and size of the coaster wonderfully. These come in packs of six so you can choose to give them all to one person or do as I'm doing and share them out, in my case all of my grandparents are getting one to pop their cuppa on.

You have the options to add wording, could be someones name or a favourite quote or of course you can do as I did and let the picture say it all for you. And if you are lacking inspiration you can always save your project and come back to it at a later date when you've come up with ideas to complete what you've started.

With prices starting from as little as £2.99 for a magnet and products like calendars and cushions available in varying sizes, there is a gift to suit everyones taste and budget, there are eve phone cases for those who love their technology. So why not give the  thoughtful gift of personalisation this Christmas, keep family close even when far away!
