Give The Perfect Christmas Gift

DECEMBER 4TH, 2013

 

We all know that the Christmas season is fraught with gift related stresses. What to get someone? What someone is going to get you? What if they don't like the gift you give them? What if you don't like the gift they give you? How will you deal with the madness of Christmas shopping?


Never fear, albumworks can help you make a beautiful, personalised and one-of-a-kind gift without even leaving home. Here are a few ideas:




1. A Photo Book

This takes a little bit more work than some of our other products, but is so much more rewarding, personal and original than getting Mum a teapot, or Dad a pair of socks.

After all, the only thing people like more than a gift made by someone they love, is seeing photos of themselves in it!

It's true, deciding what to make your book about can require some thought. There are so many possibilities:

 

A look at the past year of your family...


Or photos from when your parents were young...



Or photos of you and that someone special...


What about a collection of photos from that fantastic holiday you took with friends?

 


Or look back at the house you built together?


How about photos of the grandkids for Grandma and Grandad?

 


Or book about your beloved dog or cat?


The options are as endless as your imagination, and your camera.

You will need collect a whole bunch of photos together - and they will all have to be digital. So if you want to use old family snaps, and create a book that spans many years (which is a fantastic idea) you will need to scan them all in to create digital files. Here are some tips on how to do it

Then the fun begins. Just go download our Editor by clicking the "Create" button at the top of the page - and get started!

You may take a little while to learn how to use our Editor, but once you get the hang of it your project will start taking shape quickly and easily.


And if you need any help there are online videos and blog posts, and you can always call or email our Customer Service team (ph: 1300 553 448) and they'll talk you through it.

You can choose from different themes and other design options. It's all up to you. Let your creativity run free.

You can add more pages. You can select from a range of cover types (hard, soft, material, photo). You can order a presentation box or a dust jacket.

Plus, we have one of the only Canon DreamLabo printers in Australia, so you can upgrade your Photo Book from the already great quality of our SD Photo Books, to the world class, incredible quality of our HD Photo Books

So turn your photos into a beautiful book, and not only give a fantastic personal gift, but create something your loved ones will always treasure.

 



2. A Photo Calendar

It's nearly the end of the year - which means it's time to get a new Calendar. But why get one full of random cats, or goats in a tree?

 

Instead, you can make your own Calendar with all your own photos!

With heaps of design options, customisable date cells and full creative control, you can create any kind of Calendar you like.


Here are some ideas:

With the option to print in HD, you can take your photos to the next level, printing in brighter colours and on luxurious photo paper.

So go ahead. Make next year all yours.




3. A Canvas Print

The perfect way to fill that bare wall, or to do justice to your fantastic photos, our Canvas Prints are higher quality than most on the market.

We use 300 thread count cotton and every print is laminated with a Satin finish to lock in the stunning 12 colour wide format print. We also apply a Scratch & Fade shield treatment that has been tested to protect your print for over 50 years.

All our prints are also hand stretched on environmentally responsible timber frames, and shipped in top quality, resuseable boxes, which allow your print to arrive in perfect condition, and to move in future with equal safety.

They're simple to make with our Editor, and if you have any problems making your Canvas you can speak to our Customer Service team on 1300 553 448.

So find that perfect photo, and turn it into a piece of art!




4. An Instagram Book

Our latest product allows you to turn your Instagram photos into a stylish square book.

It's so easy, you just log in with your Instagram username and password, and drag and drop the images in the places you want them. And then that's it!

The books are printed on our photographic quality printers, on world class Canon photo paper. You can also choose hard or soft cover.

So don't just leave your photos sitting on your phone. Make a great gift for someone you love - or just for yourself!




5. A Gift Voucher

If you don't know what to give them, but you know they would love to make something with their own photos, or you need to get a great present at the last minute, get them one of our Gift Vouchers.

You can use them on any product, and you can purchase them instantly online. No delivery time, no waiting. The voucher is delivered instantly to your inbox!




And if none of these gift ideas tickle your festive fancy, we also make Posters, Diaries, Notebooks, and HD Photo Flips - all with your own photos.

So forget the body wash and beach towels. Get them something they'll really love this Christmas!
