Have you ever wanted to make your own customized Christmas cards with your children’s pictures? Were you ever wondering what would be a great unique gift for Grandma for the Holidays, such as a coffee mug with your daughters picture on it? Did you ever want to make a present for your kids of a book with them as the star? Are you expecting a baby and want to stay at home after the birth and custom make your baby announcements, having them delivered to your door within three days?

Well, this is where Shutterfly becomes an invaluable online photo service. I have been using Shutterfly for almost two years now - printing pictures, making albums, creating baby announcements, sending out Christmas cards, and giving unique presents to the grandparents, all without leaving my home. Every time I send something out or give a present, I hear “Where did you get this! It’s great!” or “Wow, what a fantastic gift!” My father uses his coffee mug, covered with a collage of his grandson, proudly at work. My in-laws love to play cards, and they have a great deck of cards with their grandchild’s picture on it. I have send Christmas cards with my kids’ pictures for two years now, and this past March, Shutterfly was the only place I thought about using for my son’s birth announcements.

Shutterfly is free to join and very easy to use. You upload as many pictures as you want onto their website, and then the sky is the limit. You can order prints in sizes from wallet to 20″ x 30″. They have a store where you can order custom cards, calendars, mugs, story books, magnets, and a ton of other great items, all featuring pictures of your kids and family. Any project that you start can be saved on their website so that you can always return later to edit and finish it. You can have your orders shipped to your home address, or if you want your prints now you can send them to the one hour photo at your neighborhood Target store! Shutterfly is also very affordable, and they constantly have deals that change weekly. I have gotten a free photobook, free custom cards, free prints, and a lot of free shipping promotions! All for just being a member on their site - which is free to join!
