You don't have to limit yourself to photos. Children's artwork looks great on custom items, and makes wonderful gifts for family and friends. Scanning your kids artwork gives the best results, but if you don't have access to a scanner you can take a close-up picture with your camera. (Examples above from Zazzle.com ...click on pictures to visit contributor's store).

TIP: Shop Early to Save on Shipping

Customized photo gifts make great presents--but remember that they can take longer to process than pre-made gifts, so check shipping times and don't wait until the last minute to order!

Calendar Price Comparison 

Here's a quick comparison of the price of a single standard size wall calendar, plus shipping. The following are the sites I'm familiar with which sell calendars, ordered from cheapest to most expensive. The price listed is the regular price and does not reflect any discounts or sales happening right now (though if you scan this page you may be able to find some!).

The shipping price listed reflects the lowest available shipping cost for shipping one calendar (if you want it there quicker, you'll pay more). Some places also offer discounts when you buy more than one, and of course different places offer different layouts, printing quality, and other features, so you may not want to choose by price alone.
  1. Winkflash
    $13.49 + 5.49 shipping = $18.98
  2. CafePress
    $14.99 + $5.00 shipping = $19.99
  3. Discount Photo Gifts
    $15.20 + $5.50 shipping = $20.70
  4. Snapfish
    $18.99 + $5.99 shipping = $24.98
  5. York Photo Labs
    $18.99 + $5.99 shipping = $24.98
  6. Zazzle
    $19.95 + $5.99 shipping = $25.94
  7. Photoworks
    $19.95 + 7.95 shipping = $27.90

Fun Fall Project Idea 

Here's a fun Halloween photo project: Take a photograph of your Jack-O-Lantern, crop in a square right around the pumpkin, then turn it into fun magnets, buttons, stickers, ornaments, ect. Any round item works well! (See example pictures below).

Here's some sites where you can make:
Round Buttons and Magnets: Arts Cafe, CafePress, Zazzle
Round Stickers: Zazzle
Round Mousepads: Arts Cafe
Round Coasters: Arts Cafe
