Photo Christmas Cards and Gifts From Shutterfly

I am a big fan of Shutterfly!  I have used them for years for ordering prints of my photos as well as Christmas Cards.  Since we have a big family I really like all of the options Shutterfly has for multiple pictures on one card. You know how hard it can be to get everyone in your family to actually smile and look pleasant for a group picture.  I think it is a great idea to take a few pictures and put all of the best ones together on the same card.  Here is the card I am thinking about using this year:

I also like Shutterfly’s photo gifts such as calendars and mugs.  This year we are far away from family so I think that photo gifts are great to give to those family members that we miss (and who miss us too). I know I would love a calendar or mug with my nieces and nephew’s beautiful faces on them (hint, hint).

I also like to use Shutterfly to make Photo Books at the end of every year for our family.  I usually keep one and give others as gifts to the grandparents.  The Photo Books are a great way to capture the best moments of the year and share them.

A Great Gift Idea: A Personalized Shirt from Fibers.com

Keep reading to find out how you can Win your own T-shirt from Fibers.com.

I was given the opportunity to try out Fibers.com by designing and ordering a shirt from them.  There are several options to choose from such as Family T-Shirts, I Heart T-Shirts, and Custom T-Shirts.  At first I had a really hard time choosing which category to pick from.  I could think of several things that “I Heart” that I would love a T-Shirt for.  There are also so many great Family T-shirts for mom, dad, big/little brother, big/little sister, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas and more.  I wanted several of them but ultimately I decided to go with a Custom T-Shirt and I am so glad I did. 

You see, I have a daughter who is a fantastic little artist and she drew me a picture of our family.  I decided to use that drawing for a T-Shirt. I chose to have the image put on the Women’s Organic T-Shirt, which turns out to be very soft and comfortable. The process of uploading the scanned image onto Fibers.com was amazingly simple.  It was equally as easy to position the image and make it look exactly how I wanted it to on the shirt.  You get to see how your design will look on the finished T-Shirt as you are designing it.  Once I ordered the shirt I was pleasantly surprised to find it in my mailbox just a few days later.

I am so happy with it and now I can think of at least 10 more drawings I would love to have on T-Shirts.  I also think that a personalized shirt would make a great gift for a grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, etc… You can use a picture, a drawing you have scanned, or your own words to make your own custom T-Shirt at Fibers.com. My daughter, the artist, now wants to design her own shirts too. Here is my T-Shirt:

Isn’t it just super cool?  I really love it!  If you need a unique and clever gift for someone this year consider ordering a T-shirt from Fibers.com.  You can also follow them on Twitter or become their fan on Facebook.

If you would like a chance to WIN your own shirt stay tuned… I will be starting a Giveaway later today for a $30 voucher for you to design your own shirt.  Stay Tuned!
