Custom Christmas Gifts

Custom Christmas gifts from Printerpix take a family surname and year, so they still make sense next December: a photo blanket, mug, puzzle or canvas for the wall.

FAQ About Custom Christmas Gifts

What are the best custom Christmas gifts?

The best custom Christmas gifts begin with a picture that already means something: the kids in matching pajamas a Christmas ago, or the dog asleep under the tree. Printerpix makes each one to order from your photos, so that picture can become a photo blanket, a puzzle or a photo book, a thoughtful keepsake even for someone who has everything.

What are good personalized stocking stuffers?

Good personalized stocking stuffers for men and women feel chosen for one person: a mug of his dog, or one of her with her sister. Teens and tweens get a puzzle of last summer's vacation. A teenage guy or a young college student home for the holidays gets a mug of the friend group. Grown-up stocking stuffers for a boyfriend or girlfriend can be a mug of you two, and for an infant, a newborn photo pillow.

What is a good Secret Santa or white elephant gift?

A Secret Santa mug is the easy, unisex answer for a coworker, a colleague or the boss. Put a running joke or the team at last year's company party on it, and it becomes one of the useful things on the office desk every Monday. For a fun white elephant, Yankee swap or dirty Santa swap, the top pick is a puzzle of a truly awkward group photo, the gag gift people try to steal back.

What personalized Christmas gift ideas suit a whole family?

Personalized Christmas gift ideas for a whole family work when everyone, adults and kids, is in the frame. For a couple, The Family Christmas design sets the surname above their favorite photo on a blanket. For parents, Grandpa or a mother-in-law (MIL), The Twelve Months gives each month a family photo on a canvas print. An older lady or a grandmother gets last year's Christmas greeting picture as a framed print.

When is the Christmas delivery cut-off?

The Christmas delivery cut-off for each gift goes up on the Printerpix shipping page as December gets closer, listed by product and shipping speed. Choose your photos now, so even a last-minute gift is ready to order the day the dates appear.

Can I make a Christmas gift from my phone?

Yes, you can make a Christmas gift from your phone, and a DIY gift made this way still feels homemade, or handmade, with no crafting at all. Pick a funny photo, or a cute one of the cat in a Santa hat, and type a line like "Merry Christmas from all of us". Nothing goes to print until you have checked every photo and word on screen.

What are good Christmas presents for a man or a woman?

Christmas presents for him work best with a photo he would pick himself: Dad's fishing trip on a mug, your husband's league on a puzzle, his best golf round for a father-in-law. Ask a brother, a son or a male friend which one. For Mom, a wife or Grandma, the Reasons We Love You - Christmas design numbers your reasons around her photo on a pillow, and a daughter or female friend gets a photo book of her year.

What is a good Christmas gift for a teacher, a neighbor or a hostess?

A good Christmas gift for a teacher, a new neighbor or a hostess stays small and personal. For a classroom of kids from 5 to 12 years old, the Santa's Nice List design ticks off the children's names on a mug the teacher will use every day, and each staff member can get one too. A neighbor gets a framed print of the street in the snow, the hostess a practical mug of her garden.

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.
