Super awesome personal gift ideas for Christmas

Why are boys always so hard to buy for? Am I the only one who finds this? Whenever I ask my other half what he wants for his birthday or Christmas he just shrugs and says he doesn’t want anything. Familiar story? He may not need anything in particular, but I always want to give him something that shows how much I care. It’s always been such a dilemma for me – until now that is!

This Christmas I was lucky enough to be asked to check out the awesome personalised gifts that you can create through the Kodak Picture Kiosks at Officeworks.

The timing was perfect as we’ve just come back from an amazing trip in the U.S and we’re got plenty of photos which would make really thoughtful presents.

I browsed through my photos, turned a few of the gems to black and white and off I went to Officeworks. They have a nifty little app called Kodak Kiosk Connect, which lets you to send photos directly from your Facebook and Instagram to the machine on your smartphone. No need for a USB or disc, so brilliant! 🙂

It took a while for me to narrow which photos to use and which products to create. I decided on a canvas print (RRP $39) and a mug (RRP $14.98) with two of his fave shots. I also couldn’t look past a personalised key ring (RRP $3.95) for a little stocking filler and I got some 8×8 prints developed to hang in our new bedroom.

The personalised mugs make brilliant goodie holders! For my man, the arty/photog type, I’ve filled his mug with paint pens and chocolate. I’ll wrap it up in some cellophane and finished with a handmade tag of course 😉 he’ll totally love it.
