There are so many options for gift ideas to use with your photos, but it’s hard to find just the right photo gift ideas that aren’t cheesy.
Photo gifts are one of those really meaningful things that are meant to last, not like the caramel popcorn in a tin kinda gift (though hey, it is delicious, which photos are not).
With a GAZILLION photo product options on the market, sifting through them can also be compared to going to pre-pandemic Target on black friday at midnight.
To ease the load, here’s a list of my favorite consumer-facing products and companies to print your personal photos for family gifts this year.
Favorite timeless photo gift ideas
1. Chatbooks instagram series –
starting at $10 / 10% off for subscribers
If you’ve already curated favorites to share on social media, connect your account to chatbooks and it will load + design your book for you.
2. Artifact Uprising Walnut Tabletop Calendars
$35 + shipping / 10% off for subscribers
Beautiful quality printed photos on a modern designed desk calendar. Choose favorite images from each month in the previous year to keep the memories and joy front-of-mind.
3. Pinhole Press spiral-bound names and faces book
$40 + shipping / 10% off first order
Babies and toddlers will adore flipping through this little book. It’s a great resource for parents to talk to their kids about family and begin to teach them all the the important people in their lives, even those who live outside their home or aren’t technically related.
4. Fracture’s Storyboard Shelf
$65 + shipping / 20% off for subscribers
This gorgeous minimalistic + sustainable wood shelf has smooth grooves to slide and layer mounted prints — such a fun (yet not chaotic-looking) way to mix up your displayed photos throughout the year! (And hey! You can get mounted prints from your session right though your Firefly gallery!)
5. Framebridge 10×12 Frame with Captioned Mat
$85 + shipping
This is a beautiful keepsake that takes a simple personal photo – even a phone snapshot that has sentimental value – and elevates it to heirloom artwork.

“WE LOOK AT OUR STORYTELLER FRAME EVERY DAY ON OUR MANTLE AND IT JUST BRINGS US SUCH JOY, ESPECIALLY ON THE HARD DAYS. OUR FILES ARE SOMEWHERE ON [HUSBAND’S] COMPUTER THAT WE HAVEN’T TURNED ON IN YEARS, BUT WE GET TO SEE ALL OUR FAVORITES ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND THAT’S WHAT’S IMPORTANT!”
