FAQ About Personalized Birthday Gifts

What are good birthday gifts for her or him?

Good birthday gifts for her, a sister or a friend, start with a day she still mentions, on a canvas print or in a photo book. For a brother, a teenage guy or a male friend, a Printerpix mug or puzzle with a joke from your side of the story makes a top pick. Parents, a mother-in-law included, get the Reasons You're Loved design: your reasons numbered around Mom's or Dad's name on a mug or pillow.

What is a good gift for a 40th birthday?

Good 40th and 50th birthday gift ideas look back as much as forward: a custom photo book from high school yearbook shots to last summer's cookout. The Milestone Years design fills a big 40 or 50 with photos from the decade just ending, on a canvas print. On a blanket it does the same for an 18th, 21st or 30th, and a pillow of the friend group makes a meaningful sweet 16 gift for a teen.

What is a good 90th birthday gift?

The best 90th birthday gifts put nine decades of family in one place. Ask each son and daughter to send old photos, scan the faded ones, and build a photo book with pages for each decade. The same book suits Grandma's 80th, or a 65th, 70th or 75th, just as well. A framed print of everyone at the party, sent afterward, makes a quieter second gift.

What is a personalized birthday gift for a best friend?

A personalized birthday gift for a best friend should make them laugh first: a puzzle of the worst photo of you both, or a mug with the sunburned selfie from that concert. For funny birthday presents that still mean something, add the inside joke underneath, written your way.

Can I design a birthday gift on my phone?

Yes, you can design a birthday gift on your phone from start to finish. Upload photos straight from your gallery and add their name or a line like "Happy birthday, old friend". Printerpix shows the whole design on screen, so you can swap a photo or fix a word at the last minute.

What are good birthday gifts for a wife or husband?

Birthday gifts for a wife or girlfriend work when they bring back a weekend you both keep returning to, like the cabin trip in the snow, on a canvas print for her wall. For a husband or a boyfriend, a puzzle of the road trip you still argue about does the same. Printerpix adds a birthday line in your words.

What is a good first birthday gift for a 1-year-old?

A good first birthday gift for a 1-year-old is really for the family: a photo book of the first year, from the first bath to the first wobbly steps. The First Birthday design rings a big number one with photos from that year on a blanket or a canvas print, and a pillow with the baby's name gives the little one something cute to grab.

What is a good birthday gift for women or men who have everything?

A woman or a man who has everything still has room for their own people: friends, kids, the dog. For a lady or a female friend, a Printerpix canvas print of a weekend away goes straight on the wall. For a guy friend, the Born In design sets the year he was born beside his photo on a mug, a useful gift every morning.

How long does it take to arrive?

Made to order in 1 to 3 working days, then sent with tracking. Delivery options and costs for your address are shown at the checkout, before you pay.

What if I do not have good photos?

You need fewer than you think. Plenty of these take a single picture, and some take none at all, the ones built from names, dates and a few lines you write yourself.

Can I change my mind after I have started?

Yes. Nothing is printed until you have seen a preview and confirmed it, so you can change the photos, the words or the product itself up to that point.

What if it arrives and it is not right?

Tell us. Every order is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: not right? We’ll reprint it or refund you.

Is it really made from my own photos?

Yes, that is the whole point. Your original photo is never altered; whatever you make is produced alongside it, so you keep both.
