Most women love handbags, especially in the UK, which is one of the leading markets for this accessory. But there's no reason that your handbag has to be the same as everyone else's. Photo Bags make great photo gifts – all you have to do is upload the right photo and have it printed onto the side of a handbag. Then you've got a unique photo bag which will be a treasured possession for many years. This is one of the ultimate personalised gifts, and it's a great way to put your digital photos or prints to good use.

The best way to get impact in a room is go big. In fact, you can think about filling a whole room with personalised gifts. Here are a few photo gift ideas. Why not create a montage of all of the recipient's favourite photos and have it printed on a wall canvas? Why do all the techy photo stuff yourself? find a web site to do it for you. This will be a lasting memento and an unforgettable gift.

There are other options for photo gifts around the house. For example, you could have one of your favourite photos printed on a roller blind so that you see it whenever the blind is down. It will surprise all your friends and delight your loved ones. As each photo is totally unique, each photo gift will be too. Also cushions are great for printing your photos on.

Photo Canvas

If you've been travelling and have a lovely picture of a scene from nature, then this would make a great photo canvas. Photo Canvas is a printed canvas that is stretched around a wooden frame. It's like a piece of art, but one that you have created with your own image – and it makes a great personalized gift.

Not all photo gifts have to be large, though. You can make someone very happy simply by personalising an everyday item, like a mug or a hot water bottle. You can put any image you like on a photo mug and be sure that the recipient will enjoy using it almost every day. And a hot water bottle will be even nicer if there's a lovely photo to cover up the functional rubber item.

We often take hundreds of digital photos and leave them lying around on a memory card, but that's such a waste. Instead of forgetting about your photos, use them to create photo gifts with the personal touch – and bring your memories to life.
