Picture This! Personalize gifts for christmas with your photos

PERSONALIZED CASH GIFT CARDS
For those thinking of giving cash gifts to their loved ones, put in a little more effort. Check out banks or institutions which offer cash gift cards, the design of which is left to your discretion. Put a favorite photo of yourself  with the recipient on the card.  In the Philippines, the Bank of the Philippine Islands offers BPI express cash gift cards. Minimum card value is Php500, while maximum is Php10,000.

CUSTOMIZABLE GENEALOGY CHRISTMAS SHIRT
Filipinos are big on associations – from national to regional to provincial and down to filial. That’s why this genealogy shirt is the perfect way to greet your family this holiday. A great idea for family reunions which are customary in Philippine Christmas celebrations!

PERSONALIZED CUSHION COVER
FOTOshow offers personalized cushion covers.  Print your adorable photos on a white satin fabric, and help your loved ones adorn their rooms with wonderful memories.




MAKE YOUR OWN PICTURE BOOK
Gather your most cherished pictures and put them together into a picture book. PictureBooks powered by Central Books offers coffee-table book quality picture books to preserve your priceless moments.

Take it a step further to come up with your very own storybook via Cliomag.


MAKE YOUR OWN JIGSAW PUZZLE

Jujups offers Christmas designs for jigsaw puzzles, but you can upload your own pictures and add texts to make your own puzzle design. For those with entrepreneurial spirit, it would be of interest to you to know that if Jujups includes your original design in its posted selections, you could get a percentage from the sale of items carrying your very own design!


DESIGN YOUR OWN WATCH OR WALL CLOCK
Jujups also offers customizable watches. Just like for the jigsaw puzzles, customers can upload their own pictures and add texts to the watch design too. Got a big family and they can't all fit into a watch?  How about designing your  clock instead? FOTOshow shows you how.

YOUR PHOTO IN A MASTERPIECE
Let your beloved know she is the most beautiful woman in the world for you. Put her face in a Mona Lisa painting. Check out myDaVinci’s In Masterpieces series, and choose your own personalized masterpiece. Just make sure your recipients would be comfortable being depicted in the nude before you give them the Adam and Eve painting ;)


I hope this post proved both useful and entertaining to you. For tomorrow's blog, I will feature easy, naughty, and nice Do-It-Yourself gifts for the budget-conscious readers out there.
