The holidays are a time for connection and making new memories with those who matter most in your life. With the hustle and bustle of the gift-giving season, it can feel overwhelming to find a thoughtful gift that stands out. To ease the search process, we’ve compiled a list of thoughtful holiday gift ideas that will properly express the appreciation you have for the person receiving the gift. You’ll find gifts that will fit a diverse list of valuable people in your life such as grandparents, significant others, and grown children.
Timeless Treasure
Nothing quite matches the enduring beauty of an heirloom locket and our new lockets effortlessly provide a timeless gift. We have made it easier than ever to give a meaningful locket with the convenience of your gift arriving filled with the photo of your choice. We’ve tested multiple different lockets and have loved this sleek sterling silver locket as a stand alone piece or as part of a necklace stack.
If you have your own locket at home, then our new locket prints will work perfectly for your gifting needs. Our locket print template was designed to give you multiple different sizes of inserts, so you don’t have to worry about getting the measurements exactly right. Each print has multiple copies of each size. Our archival silver halide photographic prints are the perfect compliment to an heirloom locket that preserves sentimental moments for generations.
Date to Remember
From kitchen countertops to a desk at the office, our spiral bound desk calendars are the easy gifting choice. The 5×7 size is small enough to fit in a variety of spaces, while its standing design makes for easy display and visibility.
The simple design template features a large space to showcase your favorite photos, and flipping to the next page at the end of every month brings joy as you rediscover some of your favorite moments.
Handwritten Keepsake
Combining photo prints with handwritten notes is a wonderful way to spell out how much you value the recipient. An accessible way to accomplish this is with a mini-album and we’ve sourced two great options. The first is the Kolo Photo Album, available in a wide variety of colors, and it contains twenty-five 4×6 sleeves.
If you are interested in a more traditional book aesthetic, then check out this Small Photo Album with twenty-four 4×6 slots. The smaller space for prints and notes helps this meaningful project come together quickly. It’s a perfect gift for those in the early stages of a relationship or if the person is a bit camera-shy. It is a low effort project, while still remaining a meaningful gift. Print your pictures and fill the remaining spaces with paper you’ve cut down to 4×6. Your handwritten notes and prints of your memories together will create a gift they will cherish for years to come.
Unforgettable Gifts
We found the perfect acrylic magnetic frames that you can easily gift! These adorable clear mini frames are magnetic and can be gifted by itself or as a set of frames.
If you want a border around the frame, then we recommend inserting a 2×3 wallet size print. You can easily create this print size by ordering a 4×6 photo collage on matte photographic paper. This design will allow you to add four unique photos, or multiple copies of the same image. If you want the picture to have “full bleed” and use the full space of the magnetic photo tile, then we suggest customizing a 5×7 collage with the 2.5×3.5 design, allowing four images on the print. There are endless possibilities for the memories you can give!
Bonus: they can easily move the frames and change out their photo collage as the seasons change!
Year in Review
Design a grid collage print for someone in your life who would enjoy looking back at the happy memories of this past year. We love to recommend our new XL Photo Strip ! Our retro XL Photo Strip is sized at 12×36 inches, each photo measuring 7.5 x 9.5 inches. It’s the perfect size to showcase their top 4 photos, but still small enough to easily display. These statement pieces are available in horizontal and vertical orientations.
To gather photos to include in the collage, we recommend having the intended recipient share an already existing collection from their account with you, or text them a link to upload their favorite photos to your Persnickety Prints account. The XL Photo Strip is printed on archival, silver halide photo paper that will last for years.
We love pairing these collages with our modern magnetic teakwood hangers or can be mounted on our sturdy Black Foam Core!
creative statement
If you are looking for a gift for the person in your life who has everything, then look no further than our Custom Journal! This is a more flexible gift that can be personalized and gifted to serve many purposes.
A custom journal can be used for traditional journaling and writing down memories, but it can also be customized to other needs. The lined or dotted pages will fit notes and goals to help make the New Year a productive year! It can also be a simple gratitude journal that cultivates a more positive life through daily use. Personalized gifts show you care about the recipient and can be both simple and useful.
