Honouring the memory of your mum through thoughtful remembrance gifts can turn moments of sadness into celebrations of her life and the love you shared.
As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words, especially when it comes to creating a memorial in remembrance of your mum. At myFUJIFILM, we offer a variety of personalised photo gifts to share with your family and friends who also share their love for your mum, too.
Dive into those digital archives and physical photo albums. Each photograph is a memory of a moment you shared, an anecdote waiting to be retold.
Our Personalised Photo Books are perfect for curating those precious moments with your mum. Made with our FUJIFILM Original Photo Paper, each page offers unparalleled clarity, quality and vibrancy. There are so many photo books to choose from, including Square Photo Books, Custom Mini Photo Books, Instant Photo Books and Standard Photo Books. Perhaps you could curate her travel photos, or family holiday snaps into a colourful Custom Mini Photo Book?
You can also share the photobook-making process with your loved ones. They can contribute High-Quality Photo Prints of their favourite photos and stories of mum. These can be stuck into a photo book to create a living document where her life is celebrated in full colour. Encourage family members to add not just photos, but the stories behind them. Why was that holiday special? What's the tale behind that laughter-filled dinner?
Creating a personalised photo book is more than just selecting images, it also involves exploring the stories that connect your lives. Embrace the humorous times, reflect on the poignant ones, and choose the photos that best capture your mum’s life and the memories you love the most.
Transform photos of your mum into a dedicated photo display. Why not have photos of your mum around your home to remind you of your happy memories you shared together? Sometimes, it can help you feel her presence around you with a photo gallery wall, or some photos in the kitchen if she was especially fond of cooking?
Consider enhancing this display with myFUJIFILM’s Premium Canvas Prints or Framed Prints to bring depth and permanence to these memories. For a more modern touch, Aluminium Prints or Acrylic Prints offer a sleek and durable option, ensuring her legacy shines brightly for years to come.
You could even think beyond the frame by mixing in artefacts that hold special significance to you and your mum, like a handwritten recipe by her or a piece of her jewellery. It's about creating a tactile space for memories that you can live with every day, a place where you can share stories or simply say "good morning" as you pass by.
To share a collective moment of reflection for you and your siblings. Consider gifting them a piece of her story with personalised remembrance gifts.
Imagine their surprise as they unwrap a Custom Photo Calendar marked with her favourite sayings, or a set of Photo Coasters featuring snapshots of her famous garden. It's a way to say, "She's here, with all of us, in every moment."
Elevate your living space with myFUJIFILM's Personalised Photo Cushions, turning favourite memories into comforting accents. Imagine a cushion featuring your mum's smile, a meaningful quote, or a beloved family photo, adding warmth and personality to any room.
These cushions aren't just for decor, but they're also a physical reminder of the moments and love you shared, designed to offer comfort on days you miss her most. Perfect for your sofa, or bed, or as a thoughtful gift for family members, each cushion keeps her memory vibrant and close. Let a personalised photo cushion from myFUJIFILM transform a simple photograph into a comforting presence in your home.
While photo gifts are a beautiful way to remember your mum, there are also a few other ideas you can take part in alongside, too.
For a tribute that grows, consider planting a garden in her memory. Choose flowers she loved or plants that remind you of her. Every bloom becomes a testament to her enduring presence in your life, a living memorial that changes with the seasons, just as your memories do.
Gather your loved ones for a dinner in her honour. Cook her favourite dishes, play her favourite music, and raise a glass to her memory. It's an evening for sharing stories, for laughter and maybe a few tears, but most importantly, it's a night for remembering the love that never fades.
Honour her legacy by volunteering for a cause she was passionate about. It's a way to extend her influence into the world, to make a difference in a way she would have appreciated. Whether it's a few hours at a local shelter or a donation to her favourite charity, it's a tribute that echoes her values and generosity.
Ready to celebrate her memory? Dive into the meaningful journey of crafting a personalised remembrance photo gift. In just a few clicks, you can create a heartfelt tribute that reflects the unique bond you shared with your mum.
From our top-quality photo prints to our custom-designed memory books, we've got a range of gifts designed to honour her specially. Browse our collection of personalised photo gifts, or contact us to start creating your tribute today.
]]>From your non-biological auntie and step-mum to your older sister and grandma, a mother figure can be defined in more ways than one. Naturally, Mother’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the bonds you’ve been blessed with throughout your life, so let’s take a look at a few personalised photo gifts you can use to show appreciation for the maternal figure in your life.
We understand that not every relationship fits the traditional mould. The concept of family stretches far and wide, touching on the lives of those who might not be related by blood but are just as significant. It's about the best friend who’s always ready to listen, the lifelong family friend who always makes you laugh, or the mentor whose guidance has been indispensable to you over the years. These individuals form the fabric of our support network, playing roles that are as impactful as they are varied.
As such, Mother’s Day is an opportunity to acknowledge all of the women who have been pillars in our lives, whether they’re connected by lineage or by choice. These varied relationships are often rich, layered, and intimate on a new level of connectedness — so it only makes sense to celebrate them with something memorable.
Our selection of customisable photo gifts means you can express appreciation for your chosen woman in a genuinely meaningful manner. Whether it’s a photo book capturing your shared moments, a Personalised Photo Calendar filled with plans you’ve made to share, or a piece of distinctive wall art that reminds them how much they’ve helped you — these gifts are true tokens of gratitude, connection, and recognition.
At myFUJIFILM, we believe in celebrating every form of maternal influence. This Mother’s Day, let’s honour the extended family with gifts that reflect the love and connection that we feel with them.
Grandma, Granny, Nanny, or Nanna — whatever you call the matriarch of your family, there’s no denying that she deserves something as extraordinary as she is.
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate the remarkable women who've filled our lives with love and wisdom — our grandmas. For your grandma, consider creating a custom photo book filled with the photos you’ve taken together over the years.
It’s a lovely idea to select photos that evoke special moments shared between you both — perhaps snapshots from the moment you first met, family gatherings, holidays, or everyday adventures that are etched into your memories. With our easy-to-use design tools including text and background options, you have the creative freedom to arrange these photos into a beautifully curated collection that tells the story of your unique relationship.
Each time she flips through her custom photo book, she'll be reminded of the love and appreciation you hold for her. Photo books are for telling stories, acting as a tangible expression of gratitude while honouring the countless ways your grandma has enriched your life.
Step-mums play an invaluable role in our lives, embracing new responsibilities with grace and love. This Mother's Day, why not show that you understand their dedication to you with personalised photo gifts?
For a unique gift idea that’s sure to make your step-mum’s heart burst, you could create a custom calendar that’s adorned with photos of your shared moments throughout the year. You could even add in a few meet-up ideas and pre-made plans within the calendar, making it two gifts in one!
Select images that reflect your growing relationship, whether it's family outings, personal milestones, or a nod to your inside jokes that no one else would understand. With the turn of each month, she'll be reminded of the special memories you've created together.
Alternatively, you could gift her a Photo Mug featuring your favourite photo of you both together. Perfect for work or home, every sip of her favourite beverage will be infused with warmth and love — all while she reflects on the bond you share.
These personalised gifts serve as tangible reminders of your love and affection, tailored to celebrate the unique relationship you have with your step-mum on this special day. Show her how much she means to you with the surprise of a personalised gift that acknowledges the love and care she brings into your life.
Our aunties will always hold a special place in our hearts — they're like second mums we can share secrets with and laugh at embarrassing stories together (like the ones you can’t tell Mum!). Celebrate the unique bond you share with your aunt this Mother’s Day with a gift from the heart.
With the free-spirited approach of aunties in mind, a Photo Collage filled with photo evidence of your growing bond wouldn’t go amiss. Make sure you select photos that evoke laughter, love, and your unique relationship. All of which will be beautifully arranged and printed on our high-quality 260gsm Fujifilm Satin Inkjet Paper, giving your memories the display they deserve.
Alternatively, for a more sentimental approach, you could create a Personalised Hardcover Notebook featuring a sentimental photo of you both. Your aunt could use it as a canvas for jotting down memories and day-to-day tasks, or as a journal — reminding her of your bond with every turn of the page.
Sisters are so much more than siblings. They act as our confidantes, mentors, and — in some cases — even mother figures. Siblings are one of the strongest bonds you have in life, so celebrate your sister’s strength and love with myFUJIFILM.
Find a picture from your childhood, preferably a candid one that showcases your true connection. Print your photo as an Aluminium Photo Print, and make it a stunning work of art. Visually captivating and fiercely durable, aluminium prints offer the widest colour gamut, sharpness, and vibrancy. It will be looking into a window of the past, and hopefully, all of your happy memories and emotions will come flooding back with each glance.
If your sister is now a mother herself, you could also take the opportunity to celebrate her growth. From being attached to the hip as children to seeing her thrive with her own family, it’s hard to not get emotional thinking about it. With this in mind, individual Photo Cushions or Personalised Towels for your sister’s family would be a welcome addition for the whole family. They’re fun, customisable, and can fit into any aesthetic with ease — playing into that child-like innocence that you once shared with one another.
These personalised gifts serve as tokens of gratitude and appreciation, tailored to celebrate the unique role your sister plays in your life. Whether she's a mother herself or simply a source of unwavering support, show her how much she means to you this Mother's Day with gifts that speak from the heart.
Best friends are the family we choose — offering unwavering support and understanding on a truly unique level. Celebrate the essence of your closest friendships with the help of sentimental photo gifts, emphasising that friendship is a conscious choice that takes two people to work.
Whether you’re gifting for your girl group or you have that special soul sister in mind, a stunning Framed Print or even a Retro Print represents the love, and maturity involved in your friendship. Include snapshots from your unforgettable adventures, a blast from the past, or significant moments that define your bond. The wonder of a framed print is that it will transform your chosen photo into a timeless work of art that your best friend will appreciate for years to come.
Alternatively, for something more light-hearted, you could hand them their own Personalised Photo Blanket — a cosy and uplifting representation of the warmth and comfort they bring into your life. It’s an entertaining way to showcase some of your shared moments together, creating a welcoming keepsake that wraps them in love and nostalgia.
All of these personalised photo gifts serve as heartfelt reminders of the laughter, love, and support you share with the women you hold close to your heart. Show them how much they mean to you this Mother's Day with gifts that celebrate the beauty of your relationships.

]]>You may be marking the first year with your new baby. Or perhaps you're celebrating Mother's Day from ‘Bump’. No matter how many times you celebrate, the first one is always memorable. After all, bringing a new life into the world is one of the most incredible adventures many of us go through.
Did you know that Mother’s Day (or Mothering Sunday) has been celebrated in the UK and Ireland for hundreds of years? What started as a religious holiday has now become a secular celebration often featuring flowers and chocolates.
It honours mothers everywhere, celebrating their achievements and acknowledging their sacrifices for their children — and the meaning behind the day is particularly poignant on your first Mother's Day.
So, what makes her first Mother's Day unique? No two new mums are alike, but this year is different. Because motherhood is no mean feat, and this is a significant milestone in the journey.
Take the time to pamper her and remind her that she's doing a fantastic job. Make it a day to remember with personalised new mum gifts that show her how special she is. And don't forget how much a simple "thank you" can mean for everything she's doing.
The early stages of motherhood can feel like a bit of a whirlwind. This time is packed with incredible moments, from bonding with your baby to seeing their first smile. But it can be exhausting, too. There are sleepless nights and all the anxiety that comes with being a new parent. So, that first Mother's Day gift should be truly unique. You can't buy a good night's sleep, but you can make a new mum feel loved and appreciated.
The most traditional Mother’s Day gift is a card and some flowers. But her first Mother’s Day is the perfect time to create your own family traditions.
Start with breakfast in bed: her favourite pastries or even a glass of champagne. Later in the day, how about visiting her favourite place — this can remind her how far she's come on her motherhood journey. And remember to throw in a trip to her favourite restaurant or cafe.
Every new mum enjoys some downtime, so you could offer to babysit the little one while she soaks in a long, hot bath. Or give her some peace and quiet to enjoy her favourite book or movie. A pamper session is thoughtful, but sometimes just creating a space to relax is gift enough.
Mother’s Day photo gifts may not be traditional. But what could be nicer than capturing the day in a series of snaps? Start your own gallery wall with gorgeous framed prints. Or create personalised photo books for friends and family to spread the love.
The perfect gift shows the depth of our appreciation and love for a new mum. A box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers can make a wonderful display of affection. However, if you feel these aren’t quite enough to convey how you feel, you might like to opt for a personalised new mum gift. It’s sure to show how much you care.
Does she adore flowers? To add that personal touch, select a bouquet of her favourites or pick blooms in her favourite colour. You could also create a custom card overflowing with memories of her first year as a new mum. Alternatively, order a set of fun Shacolla prints from her most loved memories for a creative display.
You can be practical or personal when it comes to the ideal new mum gift. Chances are she's experiencing all kinds of emotions, so a personalised present can help capture those feelings. A beautiful keepsake is something she can treasure and pass down to future generations.
Are you lucky enough to be celebrating your partner or loved one’s first Mother's Day? We hope you're already brimming with ideas for the big day. But if you're stumped for that special present, here's our selection of fantastic gifts to spoil any new mum and show her how much she's loved.
Expectant mothers get to share in the joy of Mother’s Day with gorgeous personalised gifts.
Obviously, she won’t be expecting a card. So why not send one anyway and add a cute message like “can’t wait to meet you!” Pop into a box of her favourite self-care products so she can feel pampered and extra-special — especially in the last trimester.
Parenthood is the definition of a “life-changing event.” So why not document those precious moments with a bump-to-baby photo book? Or organise a professional photoshoot and choose a beautiful image of the mum-to-be to print on high-quality canvas?
Other thoughtful "Mother's Day from Bump" gifts include:
There's a lot of pressure to make the first Mother's Day extra special. Personalising the experience is ideal for showing a new mum how much she's valued.
Mother’s Day photo gifts really hit the mark, no matter if it’s a mug or a photo book. She’ll love a beautifully framed print of her baby to sit on her desk. And you can never have enough mum and baby pics, so keep snapping throughout the day. Then why not create a stunning premium photo book to capture the magic? Include a mix of posed and candid snaps that capture the mother-baby bond.
Sentimental photo presents for mum from baby are adorable and sure to please. A magic mug that reveals a favourite photo and cute slogan is a fun way to see her face light up. And a mini photo book is the perfect size to tuck in a handbag to carry your memories with you. And don’t forget to wrap your gift in customised wrapping paper she’ll want to treasure.
Other first Mother’s Day gift ideas include:
Don’t forget new grandmothers on Mother’s Day. Reflect their unique style with a personalised photo gift of a mug or canvas print. Or create a customised cushion of her new grandchild she’ll love to cuddle.
Whether it’s a friend from your local parenting group or a loved one you’ve known for years, why not show some extra care and support for the other mothers in your life? A thoughtful photo gift can spark joy and remind them of how well they’re doing on their parenting journey.
Are you shopping for your wife, girlfriend, or bestie? Then, make their first Mother's Day unique. Whoever you’re buying for deserves the very best as she embarks on her journey toward motherhood. Why not show her how much she's loved and valued with fabulous personalised new mum photo gifts from myFUJIFILM?
]]>We get that it can be hard to find the most heartfelt present, especially when it feels like the only choices you have are flowers and chocolates. The truth is, nothing feels quite so unique anymore. Except, at myFUJIFILM, we’re here to offer an exciting alternative — personalised Mother’s Day gifts.
Today we’ll take a closer look at some of our favourite photo gifts for the occasion, along with the benefits of gifting something thoughtful and personalised.
There’s no denying that personalised gifts hold a special charm. The ability to customise your gift turns something one-dimensional into a heartfelt keepsake. In a world of generic and stereotypical gifts, personalised photo gifts can make your Mother’s Day a memorable experience for everyone involved.
But what is it about personalised gifts that evoke such an emotional response?
There’s no one quite like Mum — and that’s a wonderful thing. Personalised Mother's Day gifts have the power to highlight her individuality. By incorporating elements into your gift that resonate with her quirky tastes, hobbies, and interests, you can celebrate and champion her uniqueness.
A personalised gift will naturally be infused with your shared memories and personal touches, intensifying your gift’s overall emotional impact. A custom photo book or a personalised Mother's Day cushion adorned with family pictures or close-to-the-heart quotes can evoke unmatched feelings of joy and nostalgia.
Mother and child bonds are inherently special. Custom gifts can foster this sense of belonging by highlighting your connection even further.
The exclusivity of personalised gifts ensures your mum receives something one-of-a-kind. When you can guarantee that your gift is as unique as can be, this makes it all the more special.
Personalised gifts often carry the element of surprise, revealing thoughtfulness in unexpected ways. From a customised kitchen chopping board with your special family recipe, to a Personalised Photo Notebook for her creative musings, these gifts bring a unique joy that generic presents cannot match.
Personalised gifts for Mother's Day go beyond the concept of ‘just giving’. Instead, they offer practical solutions with that special addition of an emotional response. However, beyond their sentimental value, our range of personalised photo gifts for Mother’s Day can cater to their daily life, ensuring their utility and appreciation never fade — no matter how much time passes.
For example, your personalised Mother's Day mug may become an ingrained part of her morning coffee routine, while her custom photo blanket is always there to offer warmth and comfort whenever she may need it. Just how she is always there for you.
Our personalised notebooks and photo books also serve dual purposes, helping with organisation and reflection while preserving moments in a format that's both accessible and meaningful. Even a bespoke chopping board can completely transform the routine task of cooking a weekday dinner into a joyful reminder of your authentic family bonds.
Now you know the benefits of personalised gifts for Mother’s Day, it’s time for us to take a closer look. What personalised photo gift will you surprise your mum with?
An Aluminium Photo Print is vibrant by nature, so it stands out as an exceptional Mother's Day gift. Its purpose is to blend elegance with personal sentiment.
When you select your favourite photograph of you and your mum — perhaps a family portrait, a snapshot from a memorable holiday, or a candid shot that holds special meaning to her — you create a bespoke piece of art that celebrates the moments close to her heart.
The sleek, durable nature of the aluminium ensures that this piece not only adds a sophisticated touch to your home decor but also stands the test of time, maintaining its vibrance and detail with every passing day.
Encapsulating your shared memories and moments in a beautifully bound format: the beloved photo book. Easily accessible to the whole family, whenever you fancy a moment of nostalgia.
Our simple customisation options allow you to create a story that resonates deeply with your mum, from childhood snapshots to significant family milestones, all printed in stunning clarity on our FUJIFILM Original Photo paper. These photo books not only serve as a tangible walk down memory lane but also make elegant coffee table books, sparking in-depth conversations and joy.
With a variety of photo books available, including Standard, Mini, and Square, you can tailor each page to fit your family story, ensuring an authentically personal and practical keepsake for your mum.
For a unique blend of functionality and sentimentality, personalised chopping boards make an ideal Mother's Day gift — especially if your mum loves her time in the kitchen.
Our range of customisable kitchen essentials can be adorned with images, family recipes, or messages and quotes that hold special significance, transforming everyday cooking into an experience filled with love and memories.
Not only do these chopping boards serve as a practical tool for meal preparation, they also add a personal touch to your mum's kitchen decor, reminding her of her best-kept moments every time she uses them.
If you’ve already got a Mother’s Day gift in mind, there’s still time for you to make it personal. Our Custom Printed Wrapping Paper allows you to personalise your gift wrap with something funny or sentimental — whichever you think your mum will prefer! It’s like giving two presents in one, and the surprise of having personalised wrapping paper is sure to elevate your mum’s gift-opening experience.
No mum’s morning is complete without a steaming mug of tea or coffee. Whichever beverage your mum prefers, add a delightful twist to her morning routine with a Personalised Latte Mug to make each sip extra special.
Fancy going for something even more unique? Our heat-changing Magic Mug will reveal hidden images when filled with hot water for a delightful surprise. Or if your mum likes to get her 2 litres a day in, our Personalised Stainless Steel Water Bottle is also a brilliant option.
Put your memories into a timeless display with one of our high-quality Framed Prints. Whether your chosen shot is in landscape or portrait orientation, our personalised prints can add a personal touch to your living space. From candid snaps to family portraits, you can turn your images into stunning visual pieces.
Each framed print is meticulously produced by us, using recycled high-quality composite materials, ensuring durability and longevity. With black, white, and oak designs to choose from, these frames will complement all home aesthetics. Which design will you be choosing for your mum?
With so many generic gifts floating around at this time of year, we’re here to offer you a refreshing alternative. We want you to celebrate the woman who means the most to you with a unique creation that speaks from the heart.
Our photo gift range means that we have something for every mum, no matter her preference or taste. With their added durability and practical benefits, your gifts are sure to last a lifetime — both physically, and within the heart.
Show your mum how much she means to you with a personalised gift from myFUJIFILM. Make your Mother’s Day truly unforgettable.
]]>Not only is it a great way to bond, explore, and create memories with your kids, but it also sets up a great opportunity to capture those giggles and wide-eyed wonders through the lens of a FUJIFILM camera.
Ready to start your scavenger hunt adventure? This is your chance to turn this half-term into memories that will last a lifetime.
A photo scavenger hunt is truly an exciting adventure for your children. They will be armed and ready to go with a camera (or a phone, whichever you prefer!) and a mission: to capture a list of specific items, scenes, or moments.
Think of it as a treasure hunt, but instead of collecting objects, you're collecting images. Whether it's snapping a picture of a local monument, zooming in on the intricate details of a garden flower, or taking a selfie in black and white, each task invites a fresh perspective and a burst of creativity.
Why stick to the usual routine when you can introduce an activity that sparks your kids' creativity? A scavenger hunt is a clever way to get them thinking outside the box, moving around, and they may even pick up a few photography skills along the way.
Imagine them exploring the great outdoors or hunting for hidden gems around the house, camera in hand, ready to capture everything from the floor to ceiling. It’s also a great lesson in creativity and photography. And the best part? The fun and excitement don’t have to stop there. You can turn these digital memories into something they can hold onto in the form of Personalised Photo Books, Shacolla, and Poster Prints.
Ready to set up a photo scavenger hunt that'll have your kids buzzing with excitement? Here's how to get started with a step-by-step guide. It really couldn’t be more simple!
Depending on how old your little ones (or not-so-little ones) are, you’ll need to figure out where you want the hunt to unfold. Will it be within your home, in your garden, or will it take them further afield? Make sure you keep safety measures in place so that your child can have fun and stay safe at the same time.
Themes are a great way to amp up the excitement of your scavenger hunt. If your kids love everything to do with history, why not print out a few pictures of Kings and Queens for them to find and snap a photo of? Or maybe they’re into arts and crafts at the moment, so you could set a rule where each photo they take must feature a specific colour. As you can see, you can completely tailor the theme of your scavenger hunt to your child’s interests.
Turning a photo scavenger hunt into an enriching learning experience is simpler than you might think. Here’s how to blend fun with education, ensuring your kids get the most out of their photo-filled adventure. If you play it right, they won’t even realise that they’re doing something educational — bonus!
If you’d like to add a few nature elements to your hunt, you can use the scavenger hunt to teach your kids about different types of plants, animals, and insects. For each photo task related to nature, leave a laminated fun fact or a simple question to encourage curiosity nearby.
Alternatively, if your hunt includes landmarks or historical sites, include brief stories or facts about each place. This can easily turn a simple photo opportunity into a subtle mini-history lesson.
If your children are into photography or show a natural curiosity for it, why not teach them how the time of day affects their photos?
Morning and late afternoon offer the best natural lights for vibrant pictures. Put a stop on the route twice at a different time of day, and tell them to look back at their earlier picture and note down the differences — a great lesson in light and shadows!
If you have older children, you could even level up their knowledge by explaining the rule of thirds and encouraging them to play with perspective. Remember — it’s not all about getting the ‘perfect’ shot.
The main idea is to make this scavenger hunt as fun as possible. Your kids shouldn’t see it as a chore, or a ruse to get them out of your hair. So, here are a few tips to keep their spirits high, and their curiosity even higher.
By weaving these educational elements and photography tips into your photo scavenger hunt, you not only make it a fun activity but also a valuable learning experience.
When your little ones are embarking on their photo scavenger hunt, the right photography tools can make all the difference. Thankfully, myFUJIFILM cameras and products stand out for their simplicity and user-friendly design, making them the perfect companions for this creative adventure.
Take a look at the options below and pick whichever one fits your children’s needs most!
For instant gratification which kids appreciate, the FUJIFILM Instax is a hit. They can snap away and then watch their photos come to life in seconds. This immediate response is thrilling for kids and helps to foster a sense of accomplishment. Don’t forget to give them a plastic sleeve to put their photos in while they travel! You can then scrapbook them, or add them to an album of your own.
We’re all about FUJIFILM cameras, but we understand that not everyone can afford to make such a purchase — especially for a scavenger hunt! In this case, don’t under estimate the power of your smartphone camera.
It's a great starting point for younger kids or those just getting into photography. They’re easy to handle and always within reach, making them the perfect photo-shooting companion. Just make sure you have a sturdy phone case!
For older children ready to delve deeper into the art of photography, a FUJIFILM camera offers more advanced features while maintaining ease of use. Our cameras encourage budding photographers to explore manual settings, composition, and more — all while producing high-quality images. If you have one of your own and you’re happy to lend it for the day, a scavenger hunt is a great opportunity!
Now’s the time to make your half-term unforgettable with myFUJIFILM, where we have the perfect tool to suit every young photographer’s needs. When they’re done, don’t forget to turn their shots into wonderful photo gifts and keepsakes.
Ready to start your half-term adventure? A world of photography opportunities awaits for your little ones.
]]>So, why not bring those moments to life with a personalised photo book? Transform your digital snapshots into your own narrative this half-term with the help of myFUJIFILM.
Keeping the kids entertained over half term can feel like a monumental task. Don’t worry — we get it. But here's a secret: we think our photo books will provide your family with a day of fun and nostalgia — a day that they will remember.
Imagine gathering around and each family member picking photos based on a theme — be it the golden hues of autumn, the vibrant greens of spring, or the countless smiles from birthday celebrations of years gone by. It's interactive, it's fun, and most importantly, it's a chance to bond and relive your favourite moments together.
Making a photo book is not just about compiling photos. With a family photo book, you can craft your own unique story. Now, let’s turn it into a fun half-term activity for the kids:
We're so happy to see @skye_jennifer_ sharing her experience of our photo books on Instagram. She documented her whole family's journey as they created their personalised photo book:
"We've had a lovely time creating a personalised @fujifilmuk photo book this week on myFUJIFILM. It was an affordable and fun way to spend time together at home!"
They chose their favourite memories with the help of one another and created a gift for their dad, combining creativity with heartfelt messages and doodles. It's a testament to how these photo books can act as keepsakes for years to come.
This half-term, embrace the joy of looking back and crafting stories together. Don’t just see your photo book as a project — see it as a core memory for you and your family.
Create your family photo book today, and let every page turn be a reminder of how much you’ve grown as a family unit.
]]>Whether you're enjoying a Happy Galentine's Day or looking for unique Valentine's Day gifts for friends, personalisation is key to showing your friends that you care. And the best part is, a thoughtful gift doesn’t necessarily mean an expensive one, either.
“Galentine's Day” first came about as part of a 2010 TV show. What started as a bit of on-screen fun, soon found its way into the mainstream as a day to celebrate the joys of female friendship. The celebration came in response to the enormous pressures on women, in particular, to be in a relationship, and how society tends to view couplehood as more successful.
Since then, the concept of Galentine’s Day has taken off, resonating with audiences and evolving into a real-life celebration that precedes Valentine's Day, focusing on the solidarity and affection between female friends. But that doesn’t mean that friends of all genders can’t get involved in a special day to celebrate their friendship, too!
February tends to be brimming with heart-shaped chocolate boxes, long-stemmed roses and cutesy teddy bears. And while these can make thoughtful gifts for a romantic partner, knowing what to get your friends might seem a little bit trickier.
But that’s where personalised gifts show thoughtfulness, effort, and an understanding of the person receiving the gift. For Valentine's or Galentine's Day, they can transform a simple present into a keepsake of shared memories and experiences.
Imagine gifting a mini photo book that tells the story of your friendship. Crafted on high-quality FUJIFILM Original Photo Paper, they come in various sizes, including the handy 4"x4", delightful 5"x5", and versatile 6"x4".
With up to 80 pages, they're not just adorable but also spacious enough to showcase all of your favourite moments. The Leporello binding ensures a flawless, lay-flat display of your photos, offering an uninterrupted view of every happy memory.
Personalise your mini book with your choice of a lustre or gloss finish, and select a cover photo, text, and colour that reflects the bond between you and your friend.
Each page can be a chapter of shared adventures, inside jokes, and memorable moments. It's a compact keepsake which can easily be carried — the perfect Valentine’s present for a friend who’s moving away to university, or going travelling.
Custom photo magnets can turn any metallic surface into a gallery of friendship. Tailor-made for social media, they fit neatly into the 4"x 4" frames, arriving ready to stick and showcase your memories.
Creating them is a breeze — if you're planning on giving a different photo to each person in your friendship group, design each magnet with a different photo, one at a time. Once you’ve finished designing, you can add them to your basket as you go.

]]>We like to think of Valentine’s Day as much more than just a date on the calendar. Instead, we see it as an amazing opportunity to share love and appreciation with our loved ones.
This year, we're eager to help you mark the occasion in the most memorable way yet — with a distinctly personal touch. Our favourite way to do this? A romantic photo book, where each page tells your unique love story. That's the kind of gift we want for you this Valentine’s Day.

We all know that when Valentine’s Day comes around, so does an influx of chocolate boxes, flower bouquets, and ridiculously oversized teddy bears.
Now, we’re not going to deny that these are wonderful Valentine’s gifts. But, ultimately, they don’t last. In our eyes, the essence of this special day calls for something more personal, more unique — something that personalised photo gifts excel at. Unlike the short-lived beauty of flowers or the fleeting pleasure of chocolates, a photo book is a lasting testament to the moments you share.
Valentine’s calls for a gift as unique as you and your partner. In light of this, a photo book is the perfect choice, offering a personalised, intimate, and creative way to showcase your defining moments as a couple.
The main benefit of a photo book is that it can be deeply personalised at every opportunity. Each page can be customised with photos that capture the essence of your relationship, from candid snapshots to significant milestone centrepieces. This level of personalisation ensures that the gift is uniquely tailored to reflect your love story, making it far more impactful than other generic gifts.
Unlike traditional gifts that will inevitably fade or be consumed, a photo book is durable. It preserves your moments in a physical form that you can revisit time and again, whenever you need it most. The longevity of a photo book makes it a gift that keeps on giving, allowing you to relive your happiest times together with every flick of a page.
What could be more fun than piecing together your own love story? Through a curated selection of images, captions, and layouts, you can paint your very own picture that represents you and your beau to a T. This creative process not only results in a meaningful gift but also adds a layer of thoughtfulness that is hard to match.
Photo books are great for evoking a powerful emotional response, often strengthening the bond between partners. It's a heartfelt way to visually communicate love, appreciation, and the importance of shared memories.
You may be shocked to believe that it’s not all about the photo book — it’s also about the experience that comes with it. When you and your partner go through your photo book, you’ll be able to explore each page together. Remember your past adventures, and dream about your future ones. It’s your ticket to an incredibly special Valentine’s Day.

]]>You've captured moments that bring your exciting experiences to life. Now, let's transform those digital memories into a click-worthy gallery wall. Picture this: Your very own Instagram feed, but in your living space, with sophisticated square photo prints that pop.
A gallery wall isn't just your generic photo collage wall, but it’s also a conversation starter that you can walk your guests through. Not only does an Instagram gallery wall bring your entire room’s aesthetic together, but it’s also a collection of your favourite memories — made with you in mind.
Start by diving into your photo library. Do you have pictures of sunsets, smiles, urban vibes, or serene landscapes? Perfect! Choose photos that resonate with your style and evoke happy memories.
Just like the photo collections on your Instagram account, as a rule of thumb, it’s important to only choose your favourite to select and immortalise on the Instagram grid. The unique nature of Instagram is that the platform aims to showcase the creme de la creme of your photos — it’s not the place for every photo on your camera roll. For your real-life Instagram gallery wall, the same rule applies: only choose the best ones that you won’t mind looking at every day. These are the images that deserve a space on your wall.
Remember, it's not just about the images — it's about the emotions they stir. So, choose wisely, and don’t forget to update your gallery wall as much as you wish. Bear in mind, sometimes less is more when it comes to your Instagram gallery wall.
Can you get square photos printed? Absolutely! Square prints give your photos a modern, clean look, echoing the feel of an Instagram post. If you’d prefer a more vintage look, opt to print your photos in a selection of our retro prints. Not only will this tie your room together in a nostalgic way,but it will also make your photos look aesthetically pleasing, too.
At myFUJFILM, it’s a breeze to turn your digital gallery into tangible art. Select from a range of sizes for a dynamic layout.
When it comes to square prints, variety is key. From our High Quality Photo Prints, we offer square sizes in 4x4”, 5x5”, and 6x6”, so that you can select a range of square sizes to create an inventive Instagram gallery wall. Larger sizes are ideal for those 'wow' shots. Why not mix and match different sizes for a gallery wall that's uniquely you?
Consider framing your photo prints to make them stand out even more. Square photo frames add that extra layer of sophistication. For a sleek, modern look, go for large square photo frames. They command attention and turn your photos into statement pieces. But don't shy away from smaller frames, especially for a more intimate, cosy feel.
Think of frames as the outfit for your photos. Sleek black or white frames offer a timeless look, whilst wood tones can warm up your space. Experiment with different materials and finishes. Remember —your gallery wall, your rules!
Lay your framed photos on the floor and play around with different arrangements by mixing different sizes and orientations. Place larger frames as anchors and sprinkle smaller ones around. Think of it as a puzzle, where the final picture is your unique story.
Hanging your frames can seem daunting, but it's simpler than you think. Measure twice, hang once! Use painter's tape to mark positions on the wall, keeping a level handy to ensure that everything's straight. Consider using removable hooks for a renter-friendly option, or get inventive with Shacolla to create a shape using your photos.
For more tips on putting your pictures up, take a look at our guide to creating a gallery wall.
Whilst creating your gallery is pretty straightforward, there are a few ways you can make your Instagram wall stand out.
Make sure your gallery wall gets the right amount of light. Natural light works wonders, but consider subtle gallery lighting if that's not an option. You can even purchase a few handy lighting options online, such as an ambient sunset lamp, fairy lights, or a glowing moon orb.
While mixing and matching is fun, maintain a consistent element, be it frame colour, photo theme, or a recurring size. Whilst you can always mix and match your photo sizes, it’s best to stick to square prints for an Instagram wall. To make it more impactful, keep the square prints all the same size.
One of the joys of a square photo wall is the ease of updating it. Keep adding new memories as you experience different things and meet new people.
Arrange your photos in a way that narrates a story, whether it's chronological, thematic, or simply artistic. If it follows a point of interest, your photos will make sense on your wall.
Take your time in choosing and arranging. It’s best to see your gallery wall as an evolving art piece. Don’t feel as though you need to rush to get your photos up as soon as possible, just add them to your wall as and when you feel like it.
Personalise your gallery wall with more than just photos. Incorporate small shelves to display memorabilia, souvenirs, or small plants. Adding these elements can bring depth and personality to your Instagram wall, making it uniquely yours. How about adding a border of fairy lights to bring a warm glow, reminiscent of best-loved Insta filters?
Don't just focus on the frames and photos. The wall itself can act as a canvas. Consider painting a section of the wall in a contrasting colour or using removable wallpaper to add texture or patterns. This backdrop can dramatically change the overall look and feel of your gallery wall.
If you love sharing your space on social media, use your real-life Instagram wall as a backdrop for your posts. It's a great way to engage your followers, offering them a glimpse of your personal space and style. You might even start a new trend!
Your gallery wall is a living part of your home and, like any other, requires care. Dust frames regularly and check for any fading or damage to prints, especially if they're exposed to sunlight. This ensures your wall stays as vibrant and engaging as the day you created it.
Ready to bring your favourite Instagram moments to life in a truly spectacular way? Don't let those memories stay locked away in your digital world.
With myFUJIFILM's high-quality square prints, you can transform your living space into a vibrant, personalised gallery. Our square prints are perfect for showcasing everything from candid snapshots to breathtaking landscapes, all in stunning detail and colour.

]]>Nowadays, with so many trends and inspirations available online, finding a unique and quirky proposal idea can be challenging. To help you out, we’ve done the hard work so you can focus on what really matters on this special day.
Let’s take a look at our 5 quirky ways to propose, with the help of a one-of-a-kind photo gift.
Firstly, you may be wondering whether a photo gift is a necessary addition to your proposal, especially if you’re also giving your partner an engagement ring. The truth is, it’s completely up to you.
You may already have an elaborate proposal idea in mind, and if that’s the case, congratulations! However, a photo gift can help you both remember the exact moment they say ‘yes’ — even when you’re a million miles away, living in the joy of the moment.
While you will have memories and recollections of the proposal in years to come, it’s always nice to know that you have a memento stashed away for when your memory needs re-jogging. Imagine pulling out your chosen photo gift in years to come, showing your children and family how you proposed. In our eyes, there isn’t anything more heartwarming than this.
Now, it’s time for you to see how a photo gift can enhance your proposal. Whether you’d like to make the photo gift the main event or a satisfying side gift is completely up to you.
There’s no better way to document your love story than with a photo book. Think about which type of photo book your loved one would like most, from Square Photo Books to Instant Photo Books for a splash of colour.
Using our simple photo book maker, create a proposal photo book that represents your relationship. You can either group your images by theme, or in chronological order — whichever suits your memories most. Include the butterfly-inducing snaps from first dates, your first trips away together, and your favourite selfies of one another to show how much you’ve grown as a pair. Don’t forget to add captions, describing your favourite memories and inside jokes for a heartfelt touch.
On the last page of your photo book, instead of adding a photo, write something like: ‘Our next chapter is the best one yet…’ — a symbolic moment for you to pop the all-important question.
The location for a photo book proposal is up to you — we understand that not everyone would enjoy a huge song-and-dance. From a cosy evening picnic with all their favourite nibbles to a sit-down dinner at their favourite restaurant, you can hand the photo gift to your loved one and look through the book together while you anticipate your cue.
Think back through your time together with your loved one. What has been your favourite moment? Or maybe the moment when you realised you wanted to be with your partner for the rest of their life? Search back through the archives for your favourite photo of you both together, and get it made into one of our high-quality framed prints. Choose from white, black, or oak framing depending on your preference.
Organise a surprise dinner for your loved one, and decorate your dining area with elegant decor and soft, cosy lighting. Place your framed photograph of choice on an easel, covered with a cloth.
Next, plan your dinner with multiple courses — each course representing a significant part of your relationship. Did you go for fish and chips on your first date? That’s your main course sorted. Did you share a strawberry ice cream on the beach in your first year together? That’s dessert! You could even add anecdotes and small notes to read for each course.
Finally, after dinner, reveal your framed photo and explain why this moment is so significant to you and your love story. Then, make the moment yours to keep by proposing in front of your favourite shared memory.
Are walks and adventures a huge part of your relationship? This vintage photo print proposal will be the perfect idea en route. Our retro photo prints have a classic vintage look, and they’ll look fabulous wherever you put them. Once you’ve popped the question, you could even use them as a collage or keep them safe within a scrapbook.
For this idea, you’ll need to plan a route in advance. Whether you choose to walk or drive, map out stop-points that are significant to your relationship. Maybe it’s outside the pub that you first met, or the street that you first lived on together. At each location, before you embark on your walk, secretly place a retro print with a memory that is symbolic of the specific spot. Make sure that your final stop is the most significant — as this is where you’ll pop the question!
Next, all that’s left to do is invite your partner on a walk down memory lane. Reminisce on your experiences, laugh about the good times, and get ready for your big moment. Add a note on the last image to ‘turn me over’, where ‘will you marry me?’ will be revealed on the back of the image to your loved one.
Feeling creative? Maybe you and your partners are movie buffs and love the idea of a private film screening. If so, this proposal idea will be well-suited to you. Start by organising a movie night in the comfort of your own home, or rent out a cinema room in your local area where you can play your favourite films to watch together.
The best way to begin your collage is to use a large white sheet of fabric. Get your favourite moments and memories together, and print them out into different-sized poster prints. Once your poster prints have arrived, arrange and stick them onto your piece of fabric to create a giant photo collage of memories.
If you’ve rented out a cinema room, ask in advance whether you can put up and conceal your photo collage — preferably behind a curtain! If you’re at home, place your collage behind the curtains on a wide window, making your at-home reveal.
Before your film of choice starts, pretend there’s a special preview. When the lights dim, instead of watching the movie, reveal your poster collage. Stand beside it and propose, making your loved one feel like they’ve stepped into their very own romance movie.
Feeling creative? Arts and crafts are a brilliant way to spend quality time with your loved one, so why not combine your proposal with a day of fun? Firstly, you’ll need a personalised photo notebook featuring an important photo of you both on the cover.
Plan a day filled with creative activities that you enjoy most — from painting to pottery — the choice is yours! Secretly have your photo notebook stored away, where each page has been filled with the stories and memories of different experiences you’ve shared.
When you’re ready, suggest taking a break from the day’s activities by handing your to-be-wed their new diary or sketchbook as a gift— whichever they’d prefer to use their personalised notebook for. Ask them to look through it, with the final page having a written proposal or a drawing of a ring with a note saying ‘Will you continue our beautiful story with me?’ at the bottom. From then on, you can even add to the notebook with stories as the years fly by for a sentimental touch.
If you fancy adding a touch of mystery and magic to your proposal, look no further than The Magic Mug. Its creation process allows you to add a photo to the outer edge, slowly revealing as the hot drink inside is consumed. That’s the power of a colour-changing mug!
It’s natural to reach for a steaming cup of tea or a nice strong coffee in the morning, so instead, why not hand your significant other a mug of their favourite drink on the day of your proposal?
Little do they know that your proposal will be revealed as they sip away at their drink. It’s a fun, adorable, and sweet way to propose to your loved one with their favourite beverage.
Your proposal will be one of the most significant moments in your relationship — so it’s important to make as many memories from it as possible. We hope you’ve enjoyed our proposal ideas, but remember you can modify them and mix and match them to make the event your own, too!
Alternatively, if you didn’t get the chance to use one of our photo gifts for your proposal there’s no need to worry, Why not print your engagement photos instead?
Take a look at our range of photo gifts, and choose something for you and your partner to hold onto forever.
]]>The beauty of a photo collage lies in its versatility and its ability to adapt to your aesthetic and functional needs. With room to experiment with different themes and colours, there are so many possibilities and variations of photo collages to choose from.
To help you create a collage, our team is offering six top tips to make your photo collage as striking and effective as possible.
Creating a photo collage is a fun and insightful activity, allowing you to reminisce over memories from months or years gone by. Photo collages also have a variety of positive benefits — for your home and your mental well-being.
It couldn’t be easier to create a photo collage with myFUJIFILM. Whether you design a collage using high-quality photo prints, our customisable Shacolla prints, or our frameable poster prints — the options are endless.
Every image has a memory attached to it — but photo collages can weave a narrative from these memories and turn them into a visual story. In this way, they not only look wonderful, but they can also foster an emotional connection.
With the combination of different-sized prints and a variety of colours, photo collages have an obvious aesthetic appeal that can enhance the appearance of any space.
When it comes to making a photo collage, you have complete freedom to choose which images to showcase. You can even switch out and replace the prints if you fancy a refresh. They’re incredibly versatile so any room could benefit from a photo collage — all you have to do is select photographs that fit the room’s atmosphere and appearance.
Perhaps you have a creative idea in mind that you just can’t quite put into words. Here’s where photo collages shine. You can create something unique by experimenting with different layouts, colour schemes, and juxtapositions to create a piece of wall art that is unique and personal to you.
Now, let’s take a look at our six top tips for creating and presenting your photo collage. Remember, there’s nothing wrong with a touch of experimentation — and there’s no way you can go wrong. Our best advice? Give it a go, and focus on the purpose you want your photo collage to have — the rest should follow.
Choosing the right photos for your collages is key for your display’s overall impact. Most importantly, start by defining your collage's core purpose or theme, as this will guide your photo selection. You should also always opt for quality over quantity, choosing clear, well-composed images for your collage.
It’s always a good idea to include a mix of close-ups and wide shots to add depth. Also try to include different perspectives, utilising shots from aerial, eye-level, and low-angle views for a dynamic appearance. Focus on including photos of significant people, places, or events central to your theme, and remember that candid moments with genuine emotions add a special heartfelt touch unlike any other.
Balance is also crucial when it comes to putting together your photo collage, so avoid clustering too many similar photos together. If you plan on adding text or decorative elements, don’t forget to leave appropriate space in your layout!
To make things easier for yourself, why not cut out a few paper templates and use sticky tack to experiment with different layouts? Make sure that you have a range of portrait and landscape orientations for variety, making your photo collage more visually appealing to the eye.
Before you start creating your photo collage, consider where you’d like to place it within your property. An ideal location could be in your living room, or wherever your family gathers most, serving as a heart-warming conversation starter. Photo collages are great for inviting a warm and cosy atmosphere in these areas, and you could use a mix of family images, authentic candid shots, or scenic landscapes to enhance this.
If you’d like your photo collage to be more symbolic, a hallway or staircase is another great location for your images. These transitional spaces are often hard to accessorise, but you can easily bring some vibrancy to the area with a photo collage. Why not feature a chronological collage, perhaps documenting the growth of your children or various family milestones? This idea could add a symbolic sense of history, all while you venture up your staircase.
Bedrooms are also another obvious placement for your photo collage. For your kids’ bedrooms, you could display sports achievements or their creative artistic endeavours. In your home office, your collage could emit feelings of inspiration and relaxation. Think nature landscapes, motivational images and quotes, or any other photographs that encapsulate your goals.
You can easily make Shacolla prints for every space on our website — transforming your photos into unique pieces of wall art.
There are a couple of ways to group the images within your photo collage. The first idea is to organise your collage by theme — an effective way to convey a specific narrative or to instil a certain emotion or feeling.
Seasonal: It couldn’t be easier to base your photo collage on the four seasons, giving a visual overview of the year. Watch your photos merge from wintry shades of white to baby pinks and blues, all the way to the burnt shades of autumn. Photos of seasonal activities, landscapes, or significant family events from each season would work well for this particular theme.
Travelling Adventures: If you’ve got the holiday blues, create a photo collage of your different travels and adventures. Collect an image from each of your travels, representing a different destination. Showcase the variety of landmarks, landscapes, local cuisines, and your favourite cultural experiences. The best way to memorialise your past adventures and to inspire future ones.
Hobbies: Everyone has a favourite hobby. Whether it be a niche collection or gardening, a photo collage around your passion is a heartwarming theme idea. It’s also a great way to celebrate and share your passions with others.
The other way you could organise your photo collage is by colour. By doing this, you not only create something aesthetically pleasing, but you can also add an artistic and thoughtful element to your space. This also means your collage can fit into any room and the atmosphere you’re aiming to achieve.
A few ideas include monochromatic schemes for a unified look, using complementary colours from the opposite ends of the colour wheel, or going for a sleek and modern look with black-and-white photos.
Remember — one of the fun things about a photo collage is that you can change it up and replace your images as much as you wish. Our Shacolla prints allow you to mix, match, and rearrange without causing any damage to your walls, and the end product is delivered to you, ready to hang so you can save some time and effort.
Going for a seasonal theme by showcasing each season? When the new season rolls around, there’s nothing stopping you from designing a whole new look. Gone for a monochromatic blue shade? Change it up to a warming red or orange. The choice is yours!
Creating a photo collage is an exciting journey into the world of personal storytelling and creative expression. Whether it's capturing the essence of the changing seasons, reliving your thrilling travel adventures, showcasing your hobbies, or playing with a mesmerising spectrum of colours, the possibilities are endless.
What makes a photo collage so special is its ability to evolve with you. As seasons change, as new memories are made, your collage can transform too, keeping your space fresh and reflective.
With the highest quality prints and our poster printing service, you can bring your photo collage to life. Imagine the joy of seeing your favourite moments, printed with precision and care, adorning your walls. It's not just about decoration — it's about reliving those precious moments from day to day.

How to do it? To start, all you need is an image of your child’s artwork. Next, you can either take a photo or scan it to your computer and save it as an image file. From there, you can follow the steps for any of the myFUJIFILM products and we’ll get your masterpiece printed and sent to you.

]]>Either way, photo wall art is a saving grace when it comes to filling up the extra wall space in your home. With the creativity to design and create something tailored to your taste and aesthetic, there’s not much room for error!
Wall art can simply be defined as anything decorative that holds a place on your wall. From decals and stickers to accessories and tapestries, the options are endless. However, our favourite style of wall art is photo wall art.
A piece of photo wall art can exist in many different forms, be it a canvas, a framed print, or an aluminium print. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what their differences are — we’ll make sure you’re familiar with our personalised wall art collection by the time you finish reading.
Other than being aesthetically pleasing, personalised photo wall art provides many benefits for homes and properties.
If you’d like to make your house a home, personalised wall art is an excellent way to start. Each homeowner will have their preferred style and taste, and wall art offers you the chance to showcase this across your property. Whether you wish to showcase your travels across the world, your growing family, or your loyal four-legged friends — there’s a type of photo wall art for everyone.
Photo wall art is extremely effective for creating different atmospheres in certain rooms, adding an extra layer of comfort and personalisation. For instance, in the kitchen, you may wish to showcase bright and bold prints to evoke a happy, collaborative atmosphere. They could even complement your personalised placemats and chopping boards.
Alternatively, you could turn your bedroom into a calm, serene space with balmy sunset landscapes and cool colour tones. There’s lots of room for experimentation.
Perhaps you have a room that feels a little too big and daunting, or maybe you have a smaller room that you’d like to accentuate. Did you know that wall art can help you create visual illusions regarding room size?
In small rooms, a piece of large wall art — such as a canvas — can help to create an illusion of depth and space. Why not display a favourite landscape image as a canvas triptych? In contrast, a series of small photo prints can break a large room up, creating distinct sections while retaining a sense of order and coherence.
If you’d like to make your wall space feel wider in an area such as a dining room or hallway, try arranging your wall art horizontally. Similarly, if you’d like to create a sense of height in an area with a low ceiling, try placing your wall art vertically. Take a step back, and you’ll see the difference!
Photo wall art, especially when printed on canvas or any thick material, can contribute to better acoustics within a room. Try putting your canvas wall art in a space with a high ceiling and watch it absorb the sound, reducing any irritating echo. This could be particularly useful in areas used for conversations, such as dining rooms or living rooms.
Now you know the numerous benefits of personalised wall art, it’s time to choose which type would work best for you and your property. Looking to make a statement? Or are you focused on creating a tailored atmosphere for each room? No matter what your goal is, there’s a type of photo wall art in our collection that’s suited to your purpose.
Let’s take a closer look at their differences, their advantages, and where you’d use these different types of wall art.
The easiest way to put your favourite photos in the spotlight is with a poster print. It’s a budget-friendly way to create an eye-catching display. You can print a single image or opt for an array of best-loved snaps — the choice is yours!
We can create poster prints in either landscape or portrait orientations, with an array of sizes available, including A3, A2, and A1. Printed on Fujifilm Satin Inkjet Paper and starting at just £5.98 per print, it’s the go-to option for high-quality wall art for a low price.
Acrylic photo prints are renowned for their ability to enhance vibrant, high-resolution images. If you’d like to display portraits of your loved ones or landscape photos from your travels, an acrylic print is the best choice for making your photos stand out. With that being said, black-and-white photography and abstract art also present beautifully on acrylic prints, too.
Our acrylic prints are expertly produced by our skilled UK-based technicians, turning your photos into crystal-clear prints of precision and beauty. We do this by printing your chosen photo on Fujicolour Crystal Archive Digital Paper Type DPII, known for its wide colour range. You can even choose your preferred finish from the choice of lustre or gloss. Then, we back the metal subframe of your acrylic print with a 1mm white Foamex panel for support and elegance — so you can hang your wall art effortlessly.
An alternative to acrylic prints, high-quality canvas prints offer a unique and artistic style to any interior space. If you have photos with visible textures such as close-ups of natural elements, or urban-focused scenes with detailed architecture, you may find that these photos work better as a Premium Canvas Print. This is because the canvas’s texture can enhance your photo’s tactile effects. The same goes for any paint-like images. Photographs with a more artistic, brush-stroke quality are well-suited to canvases as the texture offers an authentic, art-like feel.
To do this, we use water-based ink to carefully preserve the quality and vibrancy of your chosen photo, and it is then stretched around a solid pine wood frame with your choice of dimensions, from 8”x10” to 20”x30”.
If you’re looking for photo wall art with a more modern style, aluminium prints are where it’s at. What’s more, they’re also incredibly durable due to their sturdy composition. Their sleek, metallic surface can add a touch of contemporary aesthetic to any space within your property. UV printed on a 3mm aluminium panel and you can choose from a square, portrait or landscape orientation. Your photo print will even arrive ready to hang, with an included wall fixing.
Aluminium photo wall art works best for abstract and texture shots, as the aluminium sheen can accentuate the details of your chosen image. If you have some macro photography shots that you’d like to display, aluminium is highly effective for highlighting the intricate details of flowers, insects, and other everyday objects, offering a sharp, clear and striking alternate perspective.
Now that you know all about personalised photo wall art, its types and its benefits, you’re well-equipped to start decorating and designing your space in whichever way you’d like. Remember — almost anything and everything can be turned into a piece of photo wall art.
For any advice or queries, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team. If you’re ready to start printing your wall art, head on over to our wall art collection to start designing and experimenting with your prints. We can’t wait to see what you create!
]]>In true nostalgic style, we’ve put together a few family photo gift ideas so you can celebrate their big day in style. Give them a gift that will make them smile from ear to ear for years to come.
It’s not always about the quantity of gifts you receive. Instead, the quality is what’s important. Sentimental photo gifts offer grandparents a chance to reflect and celebrate the family that they’ve helped to create.
In this way, family photo gifts are perfectly suited for grandparents. They’re beautifully aesthetic, customisable, and entirely functional. Don’t worry — we’ll go on to discuss the benefits of photo gifts in more detail later. For now, let’s take a look at some of our top birthday gift ideas for grandparents.
This year, treat your grandparents to something that will put a smile on their faces way past their special day. Take a look through our photo gift ideas, and decide what you think they’d enjoy the most.
The beauty of print enlargements is that you can recreate the exact feeling behind a special image, and enhance this feeling even more.
If you find a few vintage photos of your grandparents, why not sneakily scan a copy and enlarge it? This is a chance for them to see a treasured photo in a way they never have before — and you could even turn it into a framed print for added aesthetic appeal.
Whether it’s a black and white photo from their glory days or a picture that encapsulates your grandparents as high school sweethearts, it’s sure to bring a lot of positive emotions to their birthday. The perfect gift for tugging on all of the right heartstrings.
At myFUJIFILM, we have always loved photo books and everything they stand for. A photo book is a chance for you to create your own visual story for any occasion. In the case of a grandparent’s birthday, it’s always a lovely idea to put together a photo book that showcases the highlights of their life up to the present day.
You can choose from a range of styles — from standard to premium, to square or mini — and then go wild with tailored customisation, text, and quotes. With a photo book, you’re not just handing over a gift, but an experience that can start all over again with each turn of a page.
It’s very common for grandparents to start noting down the favourite parts of their life as they see their families grow up around them.
If your gran, grandma, grandpa, or grandad (whichever name you lovingly call them) fits into this category, then a photo notebook would be greatly appreciated. With 150 pages of 80gsm lined paper, encased within a personalised A5 hardcover, there’s no better place for them to jot down their rambling thoughts and special memories. What’s more, you’ll be giving your grandparents the gift of time and reflection — and that is truly priceless.
It’s no secret that many grandparents indulge in a steaming cup (or five) of tea or coffee. It’s a lifelong ritual for many that can’t be overlooked — so why not make this act a little sweeter with a personalised photo mug?
We have Personalised White Photo Mugs for those who crave simplicity, coloured ceramic mugs for those who enjoy a pop of colour, and Personalised Latte Mugs for those set in their ways. If your grandparent is a child at heart, our personalised magic mug will reveal your chosen image when exposed to heat — a delightful and fun gift for the occasion.
For those who can’t live without their morning beverage, our large personalised photo mug can also hold up to 15 oz of liquid, making their chosen morning beverage even better.
If you’re looking for a photo gift idea that involves the whole family, look no further than a family portrait, printed as a high-quality canvas print.
Arrange a day to get your nearest and dearest together; you can either hire a professional photographer for the job or set up your camera with a tripod and a self-timer. Take a few photos — maybe a few candid, and a few posed — and select the perfect picture as a team.
Next, take your photo and print it onto one of our premium canvases to make a birthday gift like no other.
When buying a birthday gift for grandparents, it can be hard to select something — especially when it feels like they already have everything they could ever want or need.
This is the time to look towards sentimental gifts, as they offer much more than something practical and functional. Instead, they generate an emotional response, making your gift far more valuable than anything else you could have chosen.
Personalised photo gifts for any birthday are extremely distinctive in their own right. These gifts in particular hold sentimental value and capture the essence of this joyous milestone in your grandparents’ lives. As well as making delightful mementoes for them to look back on throughout the day, it’s also an opportunity for them to reflect on everything they’ve achieved in their family.
It’s natural for grandparents to have been through many rapid changes and milestones. Personalised photo gifts freeze these precious moments, creating keepsakes that can be adored for years to come. Whether it’s a framed print to stand proudly in their front room or a custom mug to replace one that’s been in the cupboard for far, far too long, you can rest assured that the memories of your family will always be near.
Personalised photo gifts can be both beautiful and useful. Items like custom photo calendars and cushions or blankets serve a practical purpose while also adding a personal touch to their home decor.
Photo books offer amazing story-sharing opportunities. With plenty of room for a variety of pictures covering your grandparent’s lives, you can also add captions and text using our photo book creator to add extra context and a narrative to the images you’ve selected.
Photo gifts can also act as a bonding activity for family members. They can reminisce about the moments captured and share stories, fostering a sense of connection and belonging.
This is especially true for gifts such as Personalised Photo Notebooks and placemats. Whether you’re reminiscing over memories at dinner in 10 year’s time or reading the funny stories and tidbits in their personalised notebook, there’s no denying that these gifts last way beyond their time.
The best birthday gifts for grandparents are those that capture the essence of family and the irreplaceable memories shared with one another.
We’re proud to offer a variety of sentimental photo gifts that not only celebrate the special bond between grandparents and their families but also serve as a timeless reminder of the love and legacy they've nurtured. As you decide on the perfect gift for your grandparents, remember that the most profound gifts are those that resonate with emotion and nostalgia — something that photo gifts are inherently made for.
Take a look at our collection of photo gifts and find a present that will not only bring joy on their birthday but will continue to warm their hearts for years to come.
Let's celebrate the extraordinary lives of our grandparents with personalised gifts that are as unique as they are.
]]>Luckily, we like to think of ourselves as photography experts here at myFUJIFILM, so here are some digital photo printing tips to help you get the best results. We’ll cover how to print good-quality photos, how to make a picture bigger without losing quality, and much more.
When you’re ready to get the ball rolling with ordering your photo prints, browse our site to find the best printing option for you.
While you can try printing your photos at home, you’ll have to invest in your own materials and your prints might not be of the high quality you’re looking for.
The easiest way to guarantee you’ll end up with superb photo prints is to use a professional photo printing service, like myFUJIFILM. Our technicians develop photos day in, day out, so it’s safe to say they know what they are doing. Your images will be printed on premium Fujifilm original photographic paper and precisely formatted to your requirements.
Our photo prints are so high-quality, that we like to call them our High-Quality Photo Prints. Choose from seven different print sizes, from 4”x4” to 8’’x6”, and enjoy our rapid two-day turnaround if ordering to the UK mainland.
Our Fujifilm original paper comes as standard (but you can choose between a lustre and a gloss finish), so you don’t need to worry about upgrading your order. You’ll just get to cherish your long-lasting prints.
This being said, even if you decide to print your photos using a printing service, you’ll need to keep an eye on a few details to ensure perfect prints. If there are faults with your image, they won’t magically mend themselves during printing.
You’ll want to make sure you have the necessary foundations for a great end product — which means taking a look at the technical aspects of your digital photo.
When printing photos, image quality largely depends on choosing the right resolution for the print size. Higher resolutions mean more pixels per inch. And the larger you want your print to be, the higher the resolution you’ll need to ensure it’s high quality.
For example, for a print that will be 4x6 inches, you’ll want a resolution of 1200x1800 pixels. For a print that will be 5x7 inches, you’ll want a resolution of 1500x2100 pixels. If you want a larger print, you’ll need to ensure that your image has an even higher resolution (or more pixels). Do some research into the specifics of the resolution required for your desired print size.
Photos with lower resolutions contain fewer pixels, which means they need to be printed in a small size if they are going to retain any quality. When you try to stretch them to a larger size, the pixels become too large — which creates that odd, blurry quality you sometimes see in photos. The pixels become visible, obscuring any fine details in the image. This is rarely a desired effect for anyone printing photos, so make sure you take all the steps to avoid it before you submit your files for processing.
Photos can look great on your camera, phone, or laptop, but always keep in mind that you’re translating something digital into something physical. You won’t get a good outcome if you ignore the crucial components of size, resolution, and formatting.
Keep in mind that cropping your image can also impact the quality of your printed photo. While it can be tempting to remove parts of an image you feel are unnecessary, the remaining part of the photo will be enlarged to fill the rest of the photo paper.
If you would rather print a smaller picture than lose quality, this is possible with our printing service at myFUJIFILM. Just opt for a smaller size when uploading your photo (something closer to 4”x4” than 8’’x6”).
Due to the constraints that pixels place on photo enlarging, it’s rather difficult to make a photo bigger without losing some quality. Of course, the exception is if you took a photo with an extremely high resolution that allows you to go as big as you want. Unless you’re an experienced photographer with great kit, you’re probably going to be faced with the size VS quality dilemma at some point in your life.
If you want to make a picture bigger but are determined not to lose any noticeable quality at all, we would recommend only going as big as your resolution allows. This might be a disappointing answer, but if you want a photo that’s pleasing to look at, it’s worth reflecting on how much you really want that large print. On your next photo-taking trip, try to capture shots at a higher resolution so you don’t run into the same issue.
If you have your heart set on making a specific photo bigger (but quality is still a must), you can try the scanning trick. Get your photo printed at the maximum size you can before it loses quality. Then, scan it with a scanner that has a high DPI (this stands for ‘dots per inches’, which is a measure of the number of pixels the scanner will assign to each inch of the print). If your scanner has a great DPI (and some at-home devices have a fantastic 1200 DPI), you’ll be able to scan your photo and reprint at a much larger size while keeping quality in check.
No scanner at home? There are lots of professional scanning shops where you can take your photos. The staff there will be able to give you information about the DPI of their scanner and what this means for the extent to which you can enlarge your print.
With all this talk of high resolutions, it’s important to note that the best way to ensure you have a good resolution for the size of print you want is to plan ahead. It is tedious to try to change the resolution of an existing photo, but easy to take the original photo at the highest resolution possible.
It’s always better to have more ‘information’ than to lack it. If you want to discard unnecessary parts of your image later, like reducing the size, it’s simple enough to do this with Photoshop or free photo editing software.
Also, look into whether you are shooting in RAW or JPEG, as this makes a difference. Lots of professional photographers opt for RAW because it allows them to capture the greatest amount of detail. Because these files are stored as uncompressed raw data, they take up more space to store — but the upside is that they retain all the image data. When you shoot in JPEG, the images get processed and compressed into smaller files that are easy to store and share. This is handy in some instances, but it won’t give you as much freedom when it comes to editing.
Bear in mind that you won’t be able to print RAW files using Fujifilm software — you’ll need to save your files as JPEG, TIFF or BMP files.
At myFUJIFILM, we’re a one-stop shop for all your photography needs. We specialise in providing top-quality photo prints on Fujifilm’s photographic paper. We can print in a wide range of sizes, giving you endless possibilities for displaying your images. Our team can help you create anything from acrylic prints, aluminium prints and canvases to posters, photo collage prints, and photo books. We can even make photo calendars and wall art prints.
And if you need a thoughtful, last-minute gift, we offer super fast delivery on personalised photo prints so you can get them within two days.

]]>Let’s zoom into the dazzling world of photo finishes — gloss or lustre is a decision that many photographers struggle with. So, we at myFUJIFILM are here to give you the low-down on what sets these two finishes apart and, more importantly, which one might be perfect for the next time you choose to print your photos.
As a photographer or someone interested in the art of displaying photography, it’s likely that you already know the difference between these two finishes. However, it’s never a bad idea to freshen up on a few definitions.
A glossy photo has a shiny surface, and they often display images in rich, vibrant colours. Glossy photos are extremely popular as they give photos an undeniable clear, crisp, and high-quality appearance.
On the other hand, a lustre photo lacks shine — but not in a bad way. A lustre photo print is very similar to a photo print with a matte finish but it has a more subtle gloss. The lustre finish provides a texture-free surface for subtle and minimal reflection, giving an image a classy, muted appearance.
Both are equally stunning in their own right. But, as we will go on to see, some photographs tend to suit a certain type of finish.
If you like to print photos to showcase as wall art, you may be wondering which finish is better for your photo prints: glossy or lustre?
First, let’s go through the main features of each finish so we can imagine how your photographs will look once they’ve been developed.
Glossy photo prints are bright, bold, and dynamic. Due to their shininess, the colours from your image will undeniably pop, making them lively and vibrant. Alternatively, lustre photo prints have an air of elegance. They handle light differently, absorbing it rather than reflecting it, resulting in a softer and more muted appearance.
Essentially, the choice depends on the kind of photography you’d like to print and display. Let’s go through the different genres of photography, and take a look at whether any have a specific preference for finishes.
When discussing genres of photography and which finishes tend to suit the genre, it’s important to note that the decision is completely yours. After all, it’s a creative decision that should be made with your final vision in mind. So, always go with what you feel is right.
If you’re not entirely certain, why not print a glossy photo and a lustre photo print to compare the two? Feel free to stick them in your desired location and let yourself get used to their presence.
Ask yourself — which one is your eye more drawn to? Which one encapsulates the purpose of your image accurately?
There’s no denying that photo prints with a lustre finish have a unique aesthetic. There’s something about the subtle tonalities and the classy finish that make certain photographs pop.
Glossy prints have an undeniably distinct appearance, perfect for making a flashy statement in any setting.
While the choice is completely up to you, you may feel conflicted about your choice of photo finish. Don’t worry - that’s natural. After all, you want to display your work in the most aesthetic way possible.
To combat this, take a look at the pointers below to help you choose between gloss photo prints and lustre photo prints.
Photo albums often have plastic sleeves, and the reflection can affect glossy photos. We’d suggest a lustre finish if you plan on displaying your photo prints in a photo album.
If you're placing the photo where it might catch direct light, a lustre finish can reduce glare, meaning you can view your print in all its glory. For well-lit rooms with controlled lighting, glossy can add that touch of vivacity, but it’s integral that the lighting is perfected to reduce reflections.
As we’ve mentioned, one finish is not better than the other. Ultimately, it boils down to personal preference and the creative purpose of your print.
If you’d like your prints to have an artistic or vintage feel, lustre will always offer an ageless charm. However, gloss finishes have the potential to shine like no other in controlled light settings.
On another note, It’s also important to consider how often you’ll be handling your prints. For instance, if you plan on handling them a lot, lustre is less prone to showing any sticky fingerprints.
Whether you're opting for a glossy glam or the classy elegance of lustre, take advantage of our high-quality photo printing service and get your work displayed in no time. Our photo prints are printed on high-quality Fujifilm 100% Original Photographic Paper, available in the following sizes: 6”x4”, 5”x7”, 8”x6”, 4”x4”, 4”x5”, 5”x5”, and 6”x6”.
Need a grand statement to add to your decor? Perhaps a majestic sunset or a monochrome masterpiece? Head over to our wall art prints to transform your treasured shots into decorative pieces of wall art.
Remember, whether you're team gloss or team lustre, there's no wrong choice – just a picture-perfect moment waiting to be framed.
]]>You’ve captured birthdays, weddings, holidays and countless other events. But now it’s time to make a photo book, and you’ll turn your photos into something to gift or treasure. And with so many themes and layouts to choose from, you’re sure to create something brimming with unforgettable memories.
Best of all, you're not limited to your treasured snaps. Add funny or thought-provoking text with scans of tickets and other memorabilia to enrich your story. Then, it’s time to get started with myFUJIFILM’s photo book editing tool.
There's one aspect that can shape and elevate your entire photo book. So, if you want to move beyond a collection of images, you need a strong theme. Of course, your photos will look great reproduced on our beautiful Fujifilm paper — but telling a story will unite everything as a cohesive and memorable whole.
We all love to tell stories with images. And your photo book theme shouldn’t put a limit on the stories you tell. Comedic, romantic or nostalgic, your stories deserve to be told. Organise your photos so the narrative has a clear beginning, middle and end. The beauty of the myFUJIFILM photo book editor is that you can add, edit and save content to use in your projects anytime. If a theme doesn't jump out at you, think about who the book is for or what it represents. Remember, you can chop and change as much as you like until you get the perfect result.
There are plenty of photo book design trends to choose from. You could pay tribute to a lost loved one with a book of remembrance. Or capture a year in the life of your and your children's lives. Set yourself a month-long photography challenge and translate the best images into book form. Or document the first precious year in your newborn’s life.
One of our favourite themes is creating a children’s storybook. You'll ignite their imagination when you make them the hero of their own adventure. Or create the perfect wedding album that lets you reflect back on your amazing day. And with careful curation and funny anecdotes, even those simple holiday snaps transform into unforgettable memories.
There's no right or wrong way to make a photo book. After all, nothing is stopping you from including just about anything you want. In most cases, it makes sense to order your images chronologically. Your holiday book might start with an airport selfie and end with the last sunset of your trip. And your baby book is bound to show your little one growing from bump to toddler.
You can also organise your photos by season of the year or by month. But you could also use complementing colour schemes to group your photos. Often, your best images will leap off the page. In that case, "best of" photography books show off your most extraordinary snaps of landscapes and architecture.
Once you're happy with the structure, label each photo. Store it in a folder ready to upload to your myFUJIFILM photo book maker. Trust us — a bit of organisation will make your next project much more straightforward.
Square or rectangular, neither shape is better than the other when it comes to photo book creation. However, it’s worth thinking about which shape will fit your theme and photos:
Mini photo books are the right size to slip into a bag and make fabulous gifts and keepsakes, giving you just enough room to add messages and captions.
Medium books make a fantastic present and fit nicely on any shelf or coffee table. Or go large to showcase your travels or a selection of fleeting moments. Our large format photo books are ideal for capturing a wedding or family celebration.
You’ve organised and uploaded your photos. You’ve found a theme and structure that works. And you’ve picked the perfect size photo book. Be sure to run through this final checklist before you print your photo book:
The number of pages depends on the theme and subject. As a general guide, we suggest around:
Collages and page layouts will help you maximise the number of photos per page. But less is usually more, so keep filtering as you go. At myFUJIFILM, our photo books are between 20 - and 150 pages. But 30 to 50 pages is a good range to start with.
There are so many photo book layouts to choose from. You might be set on minimalist chic, eclectic scrapbooking or a year in review. But be careful that the layout showcases your images and looks cohesive. Of course, you don’t have to choose one layout for every page — go with what looks best with the images you have. Just remember to keep things uncluttered so your photos shine.
For best results, always give your photos some white space. Widen your borders if you need to capture every detail.
You can also choose to have a photo printed to fill the entire page. If so, make sure there's nothing important remaining around the edges. If there is, opt for a margin or print against a background.
Resolution is everything, and it's essential for lie-flat double-spread layouts. The higher the resolution, the better the reproduction. So go through your photos and weed out any that will give a blurry or pixelated result.
Try zooming in on your images so you’re viewing them at 200% of their actual size. Any issues you notice will also be visible in your printed book. Swap out any problem images for a fantastic final result.
You’ll instantly spot if anything isn’t aligned correctly. It’s a question of playing with text boxes and other elements so they line up and look pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, our myFUJIFILM photo book maker takes the guesswork out of the way. However, it’s always worth having a final check before you order.
There’s nothing like a typo to ruin the effect of your carefully planned photo book. So, you’ll need to check and double-check that everything’s spelt correctly. Keep your captions short and pithy. And keep your font use consistent. Choose something showy for the title and a sans-serif font for legibility.
Paper choice is the key to a perfect photo book. Of course, it's also subjective and guided by your taste. But the paper you select will affect the outcome. Matt and gloss papers give quite different results. So, be sure you've picked the right one for your project.
Consistency is key to design success. Does your eye naturally move from page to page? Is there plenty of balance between your images and white space? Are your fonts easy to read? Does your layout look clean and uncluttered with beautiful photos? If so, you're ready to print your photo book.
Your photo books are designed to last a lifetime. And our ultimate checklist makes creating your own project a piece of cake. So why not start planning and designing your next incredible photography book at myFUJIFILM today?
]]>Keeping a daily photo journal is a fantastic way to document your progress as a photographer. But it’s also a brilliant way to practice mindfulness and capture life’s perfect little moments. Printing them in a memory photo book means you’ll have them forever.
If you hang out on TikTok, you’ll know the photo-a-day trend has been around for a while. Similar to the ‘one second everyday’ video trend, where you create a montage of your year, this is a more tangible way of making memories. Especially when you transform your images into a gorgeous memory photo book.
Similar to a photo dump but a little more considered, these collections of seemingly random photos find beauty in the mundane. It only takes a couple of minutes a day to capture what you’re up to. It could be something funny that catches your eye. Or some treasure among the trash. Whatever takes your eye, from a pre-planned theme to a candid moment, says something about your day.
Taking a photo a day sounds simple. And you can choose to shoot the same scene every day or document your fitness journey. You might take a picture of a new image every day or hone your mastery of different techniques. The options are endless, and the results are totally up to you. Challenge yourself to see the familiar from a different perspective — how many ways can you photograph a flower or shoot a landscape?
365-day photo challenges are also a fantastic way to boost your creativity. Maybe there are phone filters you’re dying to try. Or photographic techniques you’d like to master. Now’s the time to get your creative juices flowing and start snapping.
There are numerous benefits to creating a photo-a-day book. You'll definitely become a better photographer. You'll find yourself capturing moments that you might otherwise have missed. And taking time out of your day to focus on nature or the world around you can be a great stress reliever.
Still need convincing? Then, make the most of your challenge for these compelling reasons.
The trouble with memories is that they’re gone in the blink of an eye. We’re always missing out on those special moments in our busy lives. Take the time to look around and capture those tiny, apparently insignificant moments that make the best memories. You’ll be glad you did.
Practice is the best way to master any skill. So, taking the time to shoot a picture daily is bound to improve your photography skills. You'll find that you start looking at your subject in new ways and noticing tiny details you didn't before. And seeing your images evolve as you develop as a photographer is exciting.
Your project doesn't have to be theme-based. In fact, your photo-a-day challenge could be all about different photography techniques. Long exposures, bokeh effect shots, and wide-angle panoramas are just some of the various processes you can try. Best of all, you can return to them later in your challenge to see how much your photos have evolved.
Photo journaling is one of the best ways to capture your daily life in all its glory. And once the challenge is over, preserving your shots in a photo book makes sense. A photo-a-day book makes a fabulous memento by making your memories tangible.
Of course, 365 photos are plenty to highlight. So start organising them weekly and monthly while your challenge is ongoing. You'll also need to consider the final layout, which will substantially impact the number of pages you require. As a guide, our Standard Photo Books have a maximum of 150 pages. For example, you could arrange a week’s worth of images over two pages. That leaves space for you to add captions or record your thoughts.
We recommend that you opt for a large-format Premium Photo Book. Measuring 39cm x 29cm, it shows your images off to perfection on beautiful Fujifilm paper.
Alternatively, you could create a series of Mini Photo Books. Each one could showcase a different month, creating beautiful bitesize memories to flick through and appreciate whenever you’re feeling nostalgic.
Think of your photo-a-day challenge as a workout for your photography skills. So you could aim to capture a significant moment from your day. Or focus on a specific concept, like trees, shoes or cake.
Before you start, make a note of accessible locations and themes you love. Don't stress out if your busy schedule means you have to snatch your photos on the fly. And feel free to repeat themes as you move through the year. Just make sure there are a few months between your images.
Want to challenge yourself? Choose a random word for each day of the year and shoot a pic to match. Try taking photos alphabetically or theme them around family and friends. The best way to smash your photo-a-day challenge is to take images that mean something to you or capture a magic moment.
Still stuck for ways to get started? Most photo challenges fail after three weeks, so here's how to smash through that barrier:
Your home doesn’t need to be Instagrammable to take great photos. Just shoot what you love, from your favourite scented candle to your perfect book nook.
Pets are instantly photogenic. And you could easily fill a photo book with cute cat or dog photos, so start snapping.
Fun at bathtime; a cuddle in the kitchen; play time in the garden — make every moment memorable when you snap it for a memory photo book.
Love them or loathe them, selfies are a great way to take a snapshot of your emotions. Whatever your mood, don't forget to add a few self-portraits as you document your year.
There's nothing better than getting together with your besties and having fun. So, grab a candid shot or two for your year photo book. It's a theme you can revisit on birthdays and holidays, too.
Favourite places are so personal. And no matter how photogenic they are, they hold plenty of meaning. Try snapping them at different times of the day or in different seasons for the best results.
Sunrise gives you a fabulous glowy vibe. Golden Hour gives you shots with vibrant hues and tones. Both deserve a place in your ‘a photo a day’ book.
A heart drawn in the sand. Your hand in theirs. A beaming smile — capture your romantic connection and give it pride of place in your project.
Let your imagination run riot with shots of the sky from a plane or the landscape from a train. It's fun to play with different filters to get the sensation of speed, so pick your mode of transport and head off.
Are you a budding Masterchef, or do you love eating out? Then snap that new dish, good or bad, for posterity.
Do you know your downward-facing dog from your camel? Yoga pose pics will add a moment of reflection and calm to your photo book.
It could be your own front door or a mysterious portal in an ancient building. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind a closed door, why not add a ‘doortrait’ to your project?
From the excitement on their faces when they find an Easter egg to opening their presents, nothing captures a memory better than happy holidays and seasonal decorations.
Other ideas for your daily photo could include:
Creating your memory photo book couldn’t be easier with myFUJIFILM. For best results, we recommend a premium lay-flat photo book that shows off your project to perfection.
Start by organising your photos by day or month. You could add the exact date to each image or include a monthly calendar. Choose your very best pictures and keep editing to a minimum so the project's integrity has a chance to shine.
Generally, your shots should be well-lit with natural light and sharp details. A minimum resolution of 300 dpi images works best for photo book reproduction.
Once you’re happy with your snaps, upload them to the myFUJIFILM editor. You’ll have the opportunity to choose a layout, add different backgrounds or include caption text. It’s so easy to use you’ll create incredible results in no time. And we have loads of creative ideas for themes if you need more inspiration.
Once you're happy with the result, place your order, and we'll create your memory photo book masterpiece. You can save your project anytime, so you won't lose any progress while you make everything perfect.
If you’re already looking ahead to the New Year, make it fabulous with our “a photo a day” book challenge. In the meantime, why not create memory photo books to treasure in 2024 with myFUJIFILM?
]]>With Christmas fast approaching and New Year’s not far behind, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about the year ahead. A lot can happen in 12 months, so it’s always a good idea to have a plan in mind.
But what’s the best way to plan your year and visualise your commitments? We recommend one of our personalised photo calendars. They’re fun to make, and it’s even more fun when you get to fill your calendar with all the exciting things you have planned for the year ahead.
If you like to take things as they come, then you may be wondering whether Christmas is a bit too early to start planning your schedule for the upcoming year. At myFUJIFILM, we believe that it’s never too early to start getting organised.
When you plan the upcoming year with the help of a calendar, you are ticking another task off the to-do list. Instead of rushing around in January when the kids are back to school or you’re back to work, you can start rounding off the year by doing future you a favour!
Whether you have a huge family or multiple groups of friends, you mustn’t spread yourself too thin. Where you may have found yourself cramming in time to see your loved ones at the last minute, instead, you can relax knowing that everyone has their quality time planned and allocated.
Any New Year comes with new goals. Being more organised is a goal that all of us have had, and the pressure is on from the very first dong of the bell. Instead of feeling a sense of anxiety or lack of control going into the New Year, you can instead take a deep breath and relax. All you have to do is take a glance at your 2024 personalised calendar, and know that you’ve won the organisation medal already.
December signals the end of a chapter. After the Christmas shopping is done and the annual ‘Christmas clean’ has commenced, it’s time for you to wind down and close off your final tasks of the year. With this month of tying up any loose ends, you’ll be in a better position to plan with a clear mind.
This can only be made better with some wonderful photos of your nearest and dearest — featured proudly on your calendar, of course. This will also allow you to practise gratitude before the year comes to an end, helping you appreciate all the lovely people you have in your circles. And what’s more wonderful than that?
It couldn’t be easier to create your personalised photo calendar with the help of our photo calendar creator. Let’s take a closer look at how you can get your calendar from vision to display in a few simple steps.
At myFUJIFILM, we understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all calendar. To give you the best choice, we offer three different types of personalised calendars.
If you’re looking for a standard calendar for 2024, this calendar consists of thirteen spiral-bound, 250gsm satin paper pages. A hanging bar is also attached for your convenience, so you can display it as soon as it arrives. It is our most budget-friendly calendar, ensuring that you have the creative licence to create something wonderful — all without breaking the bank.
Our Hanging Calendars are incredibly versatile and are perfect for hanging with their extended date boxes. If you’re looking to create a focal point in any room, this is the perfect choice. Each month can be a delightful, visual journey to carry you through to the end of the year.
All the pages on our Premium Photo Calendars are duplex printed — meaning they’re printed on both sides. With high-quality 250gsm paper and a smooth, semi-gloss finish, you can be sure that your photos are getting displayed in the way they deserve.
Does the week start on Monday or Sunday? No matter which side of the debate you stand on, we give our customers the choice to choose. Once you’ve chosen your calendar, confirm which month and year you’d like your calendar to start, as well as which day of the month you’d like to begin on.
Now’s the time to upload 12 or more of your favourite images. Whether you go by theme, season, or event — it’s time to make your creative vision come to life. Once you’ve selected your images, you can drag and drop them to your preferred month.
Once you’re happy with your layout choice, you can then add extras such as backgrounds and text to give your calendar an extra personalised touch.
Did you know that you can also select a variety of public events to automatically add to your calendar? New Year organisation truly couldn’t be made any easier.
When you’re ready to order your personalised calendar, you’ll be asked to create a myFUJIFILM account. This is so we can send you a confirmation email, updates about your order, and any delivery details. This also helps our team out (and you) if you ever wish to place another order with us.
Once you’ve made your account, you can add your customised photo calendar to the cart. Add your delivery details, make your payment, and leave the rest down to our team.
Now it’s time to sit back, relax, and wait for your personalised calendar to arrive in the post. Once you receive your calendar, feel happy knowing that you have the chance to prepare yourself for an extremely exciting year ahead.
If you’re ready to kick the ‘New Year, new you’ into action — take a browse through our range and discover why personalised photo calendars are the perfect gift. With countless opportunities to display your most-loved photos and memories, there’s no better way to start the year.
Get in touch with our team today if you have any further queries or questions. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from our FUJIFILM family to yours.
]]>There’s nothing quite as special as your little one’s first birthday. Your baby’s first year of life includes a variety of changes and developments, so you’ll naturally want to capture everything in all its emotional glory. From their first wobbly crawl to their emerging pearly whites, photography offers a way to capture and memorialise these moments.
If your baby is turning one soon, here’s how you can photograph it and display those precious memories in photo books, wall art, and more. You’ll be able to look back on this special day for years to come.
As much as parents hate to think about it, little ones won’t stay little forever. Maybe in our hearts, but it’s integral to capture their development, especially in their first years.
At the beginning of their lives, each day brings a new change, a new milestone, and a fresh spark of personality. That's why photographing your growing baby is so crucial — so you can capture all of these wonderful moments, and watch them grow up before your eyes.
Capture the joy, and their budding personality, and memorialise the special moments for a baby photo book with these creative and fun photoshoot ideas.
Let your little one have their cake, and eat it, too! Set up a small cake in a decorated and safe area and let your baby go wild.
Capture their expressions as they see their cake for the first time, and watch them taste, play, and maybe even smash the cake with their wonderfully chubby fists. Don't forget to choose a colourful, easy-to-clean backdrop and a mat to catch any crumbs.
Wouldn’t this fun picture make the perfect front cover for a first birthday photo book?
Fill the room with baby-safe balloons, and capture your little ones' fascination and joy as they play among the floating balloons. The bright colours will make for vibrant photos, perfect for displaying as posters or wall art.
Dress your baby in a comfy costume related to a theme they love, like animals, fairies, superheroes, or their favourite kids’ TV show. Decorate the setting to match the theme for an immersive and adorable photoshoot which they’ll look back at with giggles and laughter.
Take advantage of natural light and your baby’s favourite local settings — like a park or beach. Capture your baby exploring the grass, sand, or leaves, providing a beautiful, serene backdrop. This could make a wonderful canvas print to display in your baby’s nursery or bedroom.
Commemorate your baby’s first year with a classic family portrait. Include parents, siblings, and even pets. It’s a beautiful way to show the love and support surrounding your baby — something they can look back on fondly as they grow older.
Bubbles are magical to little ones, and it’s always fun to watch them try and comprehend what they’re seeing. Capture your baby's amazement and playful attempts to catch or pop the bubbles. You can do this inside, but bubbles are also great to photograph in outside natural lighting.
Set up a picnic with your baby's favourite stuffed animal and toys. This cute setting is perfect for capturing your baby in a playful, imaginative scenario.
If you’re up for exercising a spot of extra creativity, create a timeline using photo posters from each month of your baby's first year. Then, take a photo of your baby with this timeline in the background, showcasing their growth over the year.
Capture your baby playing with their favourite toy. This not only makes for a cute photo opportunity but also preserves the memory of their creative and unlimited imagination.
Create a setting from a beloved storybook or fairy tale. Dress your baby as a character from the story, and use props and decorations to bring the scene to life. In fact, you could even create your own children’s storybook!
Photographing a baby can be a difficult task — and on their birthday especially, you’ll want to make sure that they feel as safe and relaxed as possible. Nobody wants a screaming baby, and it’s not as simple as telling them to shush and smile for the camera.
To help your little one ease into their photoshoot, we’d always recommend that you choose a familiar location — whether this is indoors or outdoors. It’s also helpful to time your photoshoot around your baby’s routine, so you can avoid times when they’re usually a bit cranky or sleepy.
Stay calm and positive, as babies are clever creatures and tend to pick up on the emotions of those around them. This will ultimately help them feel more secure. Take regular breaks for cuddles, nappy changes and feeding, and try to be as efficient as possible when taking your photographs.
Remember that it’s okay if you feel a little stressed. There can be loads of external pressures and expectations surrounding your baby’s first birthday — but it’s important that you do what’s right for your family. Maybe invite a few other family members around for the photoshoot in case you need a little breather, and always know that you can delay the photoshoot for another time if need be.
Personalised photo gifts for a baby's first birthday are extremely special. These gifts in particular hold sentimental value and capture the essence of this joyous milestone in their lives. As well as making delightful mementoes for your little one to look back on, photo gifts can be a great way to keep family members updated on your child’s progress as they grow up.
The first year of a baby’s life is full of rapid changes and milestones. Personalised photo gifts freeze these precious moments in time, creating keepsakes that can be adored for years to come. Whether it’s a framed print for their bedroom or a custom mug that lasts a lifetime, you can rest assured that the little one will grow up with the gift always being around.
Personalised photo gifts can be both beautiful and useful. Items like custom photo calendars and cushions or blankets serve a practical purpose while also adding a personal touch to your home décor.
Photo books offer amazing story-sharing opportunities. With plenty of room for a variety of pictures covering your baby’s first year, you can also add captions and text using our photo book creator to add extra context and a storyline to your images.
Picture your child in a few years, asking you to recall all of the wonderful photographs and memories you’ve captured — that’s definitely an experience to look forward to.
Photo gifts can also act as a bonding activity for family members. They can reminisce about the moments captured and share stories, fostering a sense of connection and belonging.
This is especially true for gifts such as personalised photo notebooks and placemats. Whether you’re reminiscing over memories at dinner in 10 years time or jotting down funny stories and tidbits in the notebook adorned with their smiley baby face, these gifts last way beyond their time.
Through the lens of a camera, you’ll always capture more than just images. Instead, you’ll find moments of joy and discovery. In this way, photo gifts become a bridge to the past that tells the story of your little one’s first year. Read more on newborn photography tips, to ensure you get the most treasure keepsakes for years to come.
As you reflect on these captured moments, why not turn them into beautiful, personalised photo gifts? Create a personalised birthday gift, a custom calendar, or even a framed print to decorate your home. They’re not only beautiful keepsakes but an opportunity for timeless stories to share with your child as they grow.
Capture the magic, preserve the memories, and create personalised gifts that tell the story of an incredible first year of life with myFUJIFILM.
]]>And once again it’s time to say goodbye to one year and hello to the next. With each New Year comes new opportunities, new goals, and new sources of inspiration for all of your creative needs. So, to close the year off right, our team at myFUJIFILM have put together a few of our favourite New Year’s Eve photoshoot ideas — so you can end the year with a celebratory flash.
While we’re strong believers that every opportunity is a good photo opportunity, there’s something undeniably spectacular about New Year’s Eve. Between the distant sparkles and the excited buzz of sightseers, it’s truly a wonderful moment to capture. But why do we believe it’s so special?
New Year’s Eve is always filled with a range of emotions. After all, it’s a very liminal moment in time, and it signifies a moment of transition. The transition from one year to the next raises a lot of thoughts, emotions, and uncertainty. You’ll only get to experience the year once in your lifetime, so it’s not surprising that many want to capture their end-of-year moments as they transition into the next one — full of possibilities and opportunities.
New Year’s Eve is synonymous with flashing fireworks, low-light conditions, and a whole host of illuminations. Whether you’re a professional photographer or you just enjoy taking the occasional fancy snap, the New Year allows you to experiment with new settings and techniques. You could even try your hand at long-exposure photography. Who knows what you could capture?
It’s very common to celebrate New Year’s Eve with those closest to you — whether it be a significant other, your family, a group of friends, or your four-legged companion. When you take photographs on New Year’s Eve, it’s an excellent opportunity to capture your most important relationships and moments, so you can remember them for years to come.
Grab your camera, don yourself with accessories, set up your tripod, and get ready for some of our favourite New Year photoshoot ideas — it’s time to make your New Year celebrations the best yet.
Make your New Year’s resolutions the star of the show with this artsy photoshoot idea. Firstly, choose a well-lit environment and acquire a large mirror. Write down your New Year’s resolutions in non-permanent marker onto the face of your mirror — you can choose which colour!
Next, position your mirror to avoid any unwanted reflections, and try and maximise the available light you have. Whether you’re taking the photograph of someone else or you’re using your own phone to capture yourself, encourage the subject to interact with their resolutions so you can capture a moment of introspection and hope for the year ahead.
This should create a personal story of the subject’s hopes and goals for the New Year, resulting in a powerful and meaningful piece of portrait photography.
Grab yourself a good camera that allows you to adjust settings manually. If you have a tripod — even better! We recommend using a tripod for a shot like this as it can keep your camera steady, which is essential for capturing fireworks in all their sparkly glory.
Try and use a wide-angle lens if possible, as this will allow you to capture more of the sky and your surroundings. Set your camera to a low ISO to avoid grainy photos, and play around with your shutter speed to capture the light trail of the fireworks.
Decide whether you want other people in your photo, facing you, posing, or glancing upwards at the fireworks. Then, try to time your shots with the burst of the fireworks for the best effect.
If you enjoy a glass of fizz or orange juice when toasting in the New Year, this photoshoot idea will capture the cosy ambience like no other. Gather your nearest and dearest with a beverage of their choice, and position yourselves in front of a backdrop of string lights.
With your glasses in the foreground of the shot, use the gentle glow of the string lights to create a beautiful bokeh shot. To do this, set your camera to a wide aperture (the lowest f-number you can) to create a shallow depth of field. Ensure that your glasses are focused in the shot, making them a crisp subject of the photo.
Try experimenting with different angles and heights for variation, and if you’re in for a challenge, why not try to capture the moment when the glasses clink together? When post-processing, you can also adjust the brightness, contrast, and maybe add some extra warmth for a more festive, cosy feel.
Everyone loves a photo booth — so why not create your own? Collect and gather a few props such as glasses, hats, signs and inflatables. The more variety the better! Next, designate a corner of your space to create a photo corner and set up a simple backdrop. This could be a wall, a curtain, or a few sparkly streamers and banners.
Once you’ve perfected your space, set up your camera on a tripod or position your smartphone or camera with an auto-timer. All that’s left for you to do is put up a sign so your guests know that they can pose the night away — a hassle-free way to capture hilarious moments of your nearest and dearest.
When the New Year has come to a close, why not collate your shots into photo books or photo gifts? This way, you can send them out to your loved ones as a wonderful way to reminisce over the antics of the night.
If you find yourself waking up early (or going to sleep a little too late) on New Year’s Day, this is a wonderful time for you to capture the first sunrise of the year.
No matter where you find yourself in the early hours of New Year’s Day, snap a photo of the sunrise to symbolise new beginnings and hope for the year ahead. A true contrast to the previous night’s festivities!
As we bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, New Year's Eve presents an unparalleled canvas for photographers of all levels. From the deeply personal and introspective shots of reflective resolutions to the dynamic captures of firework frenzies, it’s up to you to capture this special occasion in whichever way you wish.
When the New Year commences, why not make something more out of your New Year’s Eve shots? From personalised blankets and notebooks to wall art and posters, you can extend your celebrations with every glance of your new photo gifts.
Here’s to a wonderful New Year — we can’t wait to see what you capture!
]]>The Christmas season is truly upon us. Some of you may have already bought and wrapped your present stash for the year, but some (if not, most) of us may not have even started thinking about Christmas yet. It doesn’t start until you let it start — right?
No matter where you fall on the Christmas-preparedness scale, we’re here to offer a slice of solace in this undeniably hectic period. As lovely as it sounds to have intricate gifts for every member of the family, this can often lead to unrealistic expectations and heighten feelings of stress.
What if we told you that there’s an easy way you can gift something thoughtful and meaningful? No guilt, no stress, and no sky-high budget — just a gift that keeps on giving.
At myFUJIFILM, we talk a lot about personalised photo gifts — but for good reason. There’s just something about opening up a parcel to see something beautifully made and curated, specifically with you in mind.
With personalised gifts, you can take simple photos and turn them into bespoke treasures, crafting gifts that will be highly appreciated by families — big or small. From custom photo books to tailored wall art, let's explore how you can make this festive season truly unforgettable for the families in your life. With myFUJIFILM, you can easily create gifts that show your love and thoughtfulness for others, all without the unnecessary extra hassle.
There are loads of gifts out there that families will undoubtedly appreciate. However, there are a few reasons why personalised gifts stand out amongst the rest.
The beauty of a personalised gift is that it is perfectly tailored to the recipient. This can result in the giftee feeling special and valued — all thanks to your thoughtfulness.
Whether you include custom messages or a few of their favourite family snaps, personalised photo gifts serve as tangible reminders of happy memories, helping to strengthen all-important family bonds.
Unlike other generic gifts, personalised gifts can become treasured keepsakes. Due to their personalised nature, they carry immense sentimental value for years to come. Every time the photo gift is seen or used by your giftee, they will experience the same feeling they had when they first saw it. Priceless!
With personalised gifts, you can capture the unique characteristics and personalities of each family member.

]]>As 2023 winds down to a close, it's time for us to reflect on a year filled with unique moments and memories. At myFUJIFILM, we believe in the power of capturing these snapshots in time, transforming them into something that tells your personal story like nothing else.
If you’re already aware of the wonders that photo books bring, then you’ll know that it’s an enchanting way to document your journey — especially through 2023. From carefully selecting your favourite memories to finalising your personalised photo book with your favourite colours, quotes, and text snippets — we’re here to guide you.
Bring your year to life in vivid detail as we take you through everything you need to know about our photo memory books.
A photo memory book is your personal storytelling canvas — a beautifully bound collection of photographs that encapsulate your experiences, adventures, and the best moments of your year.
It's your chance to collate and design something uniquely special for yourself or for friends and family. From funny snapshots to iconic milestones of the year gone by, your photo memory book is yours to curate, design, and make your own.
The New Year is a big deal. It’s a transition of change that opens doors to new possibilities, new experiences, and new life lessons. So it’s quite important that you document your experience of the year in a secure, tangible way.
Whereas digital photos may get lost in the cloud or on drives, a photo memory book stands as a physical reminder of your experiences. It’s a way to preserve memories, celebrate growth, and share your experiences with loved ones. Think of it as your very own time capsule of 2023!
Creating a photo memory book is a beautiful way to relive the best parts of the last year. Here's a deeper look and a few ideas for what you could include between the pages.
Capture the essence of each month in 2023. January's snowfall, the lovers of February, March's slow crawl into spring — you’ll come to find that each month has its own unique story.
This chronological journey through your photos not only highlights the changing seasons but also your personal evolution throughout the year. Remember the hilariously iconic beach day in July or the falling golden leaves of October? Each picture is a chapter in your annual story where you are the main character.
Life's milestones are the highlights of our year, and a photo memory book would be incomplete without these significant events. Include your child's first day at school, a family reunion, or the milestone birthday of your best friend.
These are the days that stand out in your memory, so let them take centre stage in your photo book. Photos of graduations, anniversaries, or even the small yet mighty celebration of a personal achievement can bring a sense of accomplishment and joy to your collection.
Thematic organisation always adds a creative twist to any project. Group your photos into categories like outdoor adventures, culinary explorations, or artistic endeavours.
This thematic approach allows you to tell mini-stories within the larger narrative of your photobook. It's also a great way to reflect on the activities and hobbies that brought you joy and fulfilment throughout the year — new or old!
Life is a journey of transformation — and there’s no better time to showcase growth than at the end of the year. You can do this easily by including before and after photos in your photobook roster.
Whether it’s the progress of a personal fitness goal, the transformation of a space in your home, or the growth of a beloved plant or pet — these photos visually document change and growth, adding a dynamic edge to your photo book.
With our photo book creator tool, you can give your photos a voice. Adding captions, quotes, or short stories alongside your snaps can turn your photo book into a more intimate diary.
Reflect on what each photo means to you, the story behind it, or why it was significant in your 2023 journey. This personal touch transforms your book from a simple photo album into a heartfelt memoir, creating a deeper connection with every page turn.
Remember — when you’re crafting your photo memory book, you're not just arranging pictures. You’re creating something that represents a unique slice of time.
Creating your 2023 photo memory book with myFUJIFILM couldn’t be more simple. After all, no one wants to do anything too difficult in December, right? With our user-friendly photo book creator, you can bring your memories to life effortlessly.
It’s time to gather your favourite photos from 2023! With myFUJIFILM, you can easily upload these from your device or social media platforms — whichever is easier for you.

]]>When it comes to gifting at Christmas, getting crafty and making your own little photo bauble is a great way to express your creativity, show your loved ones you care, and spread the festive spirit. If you’re thinking about making a DIY photo bauble, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make one.
Before we dive into the step-by-step process of creating your personalised photo bauble, let's gather the necessary materials. You'll need:
You can find these at your local arts and crafts store or order them online. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials. Choose one that suits your style and preference.
Select a photo from our High-Quality Photo Prints that holds sentimental value or represents a cherished memory. It could be a family portrait, a snapshot of your children, or a picture of a beloved pet. Ensure that the photo fits inside the bauble.
You'll need scissors to trim the photo to the correct size.
This is used to hang the bauble on your tree or as a decorative element.
Optional embellishments to make your bauble even more festive.
To secure the photo and any decorative elements inside the bauble.
Now that you have your materials ready, let's get started on creating your personalised photo bauble.
To start making your festive photo bauble, simply follow these easy steps to bring your creation to life.
Begin by selecting the photograph you want to use. It's essential to choose an image that fits comfortably inside the bauble. Once you've chosen your photo, trim it to the appropriate size using scissors. Ensure that it's small enough to fit through the bauble's opening.
Carefully open your empty plastic or glass bauble. Most baubles have a removable top or an opening that allows you to insert your photo and any decorative elements. Gently remove the top, taking care not to damage it.
Now, insert your trimmed photo into the bauble. You may need to roll or fold the photo slightly to fit it through the opening. Once inside, use a small stick or the eraser end of a pencil to adjust the photo's position and make it lay flat against the bauble's interior surface.
To make your photo bauble even more festive, consider adding some decorative elements. You can sprinkle a bit of glitter, add tiny sequins, or place a few small beads inside the bauble along with the photo. These embellishments will create a whimsical and personalised look.
After you've inserted the photo and any decorative elements, it's time to seal the bauble. Carefully put the top back in place, ensuring it fits securely. If your bauble has a snap-on or screw-on top, follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper sealing. If necessary, use craft glue or adhesive dots to secure the top in place. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
To hang your personalised photo bauble on the Christmas tree or as a decorative ornament, attach a ribbon or string to the top of the bauble. You can use a matching colour or something that complements your holiday decor theme. Make sure it's securely tied so that your bauble hangs beautifully.
Once your photo bauble is complete, it's time to add it to your Christmas tree or incorporate it into your holiday decor. The warmth and sentimentality of your personalised ornament will be a cherished addition to your festive ambience.
If you’re not sure what photos to include in your bauble, or you’re struggling to choose amongst your favourites - it can be useful to choose a theme for your photo bauble instead.
Family memories hold a special place in our hearts, and what better way to celebrate them than by featuring a collection of family photos from past Christmases? As you create your personalised photo bauble, you can curate a visual timeline of your family's growth and the changes that have occurred over the years.
Start by selecting photos from various Christmases, spanning different generations. It could be a snapshot of your parents as newlyweds, or your children's first Christmas. Place these photos inside the bauble in chronological order, creating a sentimental ornament that tells the story of your family's journey through time.
Pets are an integral part of many families, and their presence during the holiday season brings joy and warmth. Showcase your furry friends by placing pictures of your beloved pets inside the photo bauble. It's a wonderful way to include them in the holiday festivities, especially if they have since crossed the rainbow bridge.
Select images that capture your pets' playful antics, adorable poses, or their first encounter with snow.
For those with a passion for travel, the holiday season often brings memories of vacations and adventures from around the world. Incorporate the spirit of your travel experiences into your Christmas decor by using photos from your favourite trips to create a personalised photo bauble.
Select pictures that showcase iconic landmarks, breathtaking landscapes, or candid moments from your journeys.
Welcoming a new addition to the family is a momentous occasion, and the baby's first Christmas is a milestone worth celebrating. Commemorate this special moment by creating a personalised photo bauble featuring a baby photo of your little one.
As your child grows, this bauble will serve as a treasured keepsake, allowing you to look back on those precious early moments.
Love is a central theme of the holiday season, and what better way to celebrate it than by displaying pictures from your wedding or engagement in a personalised photo bauble? These photos represent the love and commitment you share with your partner and serve as a beautiful symbol of your journey together.
If you have a deep appreciation for nature, you can use scenic photos of natural landscapes, snowy winter scenes, or serene outdoor settings to bring a touch of the outdoors inside your home during the holiday season. These photos can serve as a source of connection to the natural world.
You could choose an image of snow-covered mountains, peaceful lakes, or a serene forest covered in a blanket of snow - making your bauble into the perfect miniature Winter Wonderland.
If you want to make a DIY photo bauble, you can start putting your creation together with the help of myFUJIFILM.
Bring your memories to life with our High-Quality Photo Prints, you can cut them to your desired size and shape to put inside your bauble. And if you don’t fancy creating your own Christmas gift this year, you can browse our range of Personalised Photo Gifts to find the perfect festive treat for someone special.

]]>But finding the perfect gift that strikes the right balance between thoughtful and budget-friendly can be a challenge. That's where personalised photo gifts for Secret Santa come into play.
Secret Santa gift exchanges often come with a price limit, which can make it challenging to find a gift that stands out. On the other hand, personalised Secret Santa gifts offer a unique solution to this dilemma thanks to their relatively affordable nature.
By adding a personal touch, you can make your present memorable and thoughtful without breaking the bank. Photo gifts are a fantastic way to evoke emotions, conjure memories, and create a lasting impression — even if you don’t know the person all too well.
From work Secret Santa exchanges, to family pressie swaps, a Secret Santa is a great way to be inclusive at Christmas. It’s also a considerate way to make every participant feel involved, without too much pressure on giving and receiving extravagant gifts.
Photo gifts have an inherent ability to capture moments in time, making them ideal for Secret Santa exchanges. They allow you to showcase your thoughtfulness and consideration by incorporating shared memories or inside jokes into your gift.
a picture of a memorable vacation, a hilarious snapshot from a company outing, or a heartwarming family photo, personalised photo gifts enable you to celebrate the bond you share with the gift's recipient.
Now that we've established the significance of personalised Secret Santa gifts, let's explore some creative ideas to inspire your gift-giving journey. Whether you're selecting a present for your boss, a colleague, a close friend, or a family member, there's a photo gift idea that suits every recipient.
Participating in a Secret Santa exchange at work? If you’ve just drawn your boss's name from the hat, panic might set in. But fear not — a team photo mug sure to put a smile on their facet. Plus, it serves as a practical vessel for their trips to the office coffee machine. To add a fun twist, forget the corporate group photo. Instead, use a humorous or memorable image that reflects your team's unique dynamics.
Perhaps there's a snapshot from a team-building exercise where everyone is wearing funny hats or an inside joke caught on camera during a meeting. Customising a mug with this photo not only shows your boss that you appreciate their leadership but also adds a touch of humour to their daily coffee routine.
For a friend or family member who adores their furry or feathered companion, a mini pet photo book is an ideal Secret Santa gift. They might be small but our Mini Photo Books can be bursting with character. Compile a collection of adorable and amusing photos of their pet, showcasing their playful antics, charming expressions, and heartwarming moments.
You can even add captions or anecdotes to accompany each photo, making it a truly personal and heartwarming gift. Your thoughtfulness will shine through as they flip through the pages filled with favourite memories of their beloved pet.
A Personalised Desk Calendar is a practical yet thoughtful gift idea for a Secret Santa exchange among colleagues or friends. Choose 12 of your favourite photos that encapsulate your relationship with the recipient and create a custom calendar for the upcoming year.
Include important dates, like birthdays and anniversaries, as well as personal notes or quotes to make each month special. This gift not only adds a personal touch to their workspace but also helps them stay organised throughout the year.
A family Photo Placemat set is a delightful Secret Santa gift that adds a personal touch to mealtime. It's a practical and charming way to brighten up the dining table with memorable moments.
Your recipient can enjoy their meals while reminiscing about family gatherings, vacations, and other special occasions captured in the photos on the placemats. It's a thoughtful and enjoyable gift that adds a touch of nostalgia to their daily routine.
For a truly heartfelt Secret Santa gift, create a memory collage wall art piece, such as Shacolla or a poster. Collect a series of photos that represent significant moments shared with your giftee, such as holidays, celebrations, or milestones. If you don’t know your recipient so well, you could give them a humorous gift, such as a photo gift mug with their face on, or a funny work moment.
Arrange these photos in a visually appealing collage and have it professionally printed and framed. This thoughtful gesture will allow them to reminisce about precious memories every time they glance at their wall, making it a gift that keeps on giving.
Now that you have some creative Secret Santa photo gift ideas in mind, here are some tips to ensure your gift is a hit.
Take some time to think about the recipient's interests, hobbies, and personality. Even if you want to give it a bit of a tongue-in-cheek twist, make sure you know which gift is likely to be well-received by your recipient.
Choosing a photo that resonates with them will make the gift even more special, and while the point of Secret Santa is often to be light-hearted and fun, it’s important to put some thought into your gift and make it personal. That’s what really makes a Secret Santa.
Select high-resolution photos for your photo gifts to ensure they look their best when printed. Blurry or pixelated images can detract from the overall impact, and make it seem like you’ve not much thought into your Secret Santa gift.
Whilst most smartphone cameras have outstanding megapixel quality, we’d recommend using photos you’ve taken on your FUJIFILM camera for photo gifts instead. Our cameras have exceptional resolution, which means that your photos will have greater clarity when translated onto your Secret Santa gift.
Invest in attractive packaging or wrapping that complements your photo gift. A well-presented gift can make a lasting impression on your recipient, and it also adds to the mystery of the Secret Santa gift.
Perhaps you could also add an extra element of enigma and mystery by wrapping your gift in packaging that indicates the opposite of what’s inside. As an example for an office Secret Santa, you could wrap your gift in grid or graph paper to really throw off your recipient, only for them to unwrap a thoughtful photo gift.
Personalising a gift, especially during the busy holiday season, may require some lead time. Be sure to order your photo gift well in advance to ensure it arrives in time for the Secret Santa exchange.
There’s nothing worse than being the only person who hasn’t got their Secret Santa giftee a present, or it’s on the way but perhaps a bit late. As Secret Santa is almost a bit of a trust game, it’s only fair to make sure that your gift arrives in time, as somebody will always be left out if you don’t.
At myFUJIFILM, we like to think we’re the experts when it comes to Secret Santa, and what better way to show your giftee that you care than with a personalised photo gift?
From personalised bottles for the sporty colleague who's all about the hydration to a photo notebook for the budding author friend, there's something for everyone. Why not create a photo cushion for your best friend who adores curling up on the sofa for a movie night?

]]>Christmas is rapidly approaching (yes, again). Where did the year go? Probably into school runs, meeting deadlines and endless cups of coffee. And now it’s time to think about the year's biggest celebration. But there’s one problem. Those stocking fillers are tripping you up again.
You don’t want to give plastic bits of junk for Christmas stocking gifts. Or the predictable satsuma and walnuts. You need Christmas stocking gifts that are personal, creative and light up your loved one's eyes.
So, if you’re stuck on Christmas personalised gifts, stick around — we’ve got some iconic Christmas photo gift ideas to celebrate the season.
Small Christmas gifts, like photos, make ideal Christmas stocking fillers for a number of reasons. They are:
Not every stocking has to be stuffed with chocolate and sweets (although they’re always welcome). Instead, curate a treasure trove of memories with these Christmas personalised gifts.
Everyone has their favourite mug. One that they reach for in the cupboard time and time again. And they’re often personal, aesthetically pleasing and nostalgic. Give a loved one all of those things in one with a myFUJIFILM photo mug. Choose from our range below:
Become the designer and select a photo stoneware mug for coffee fanatics or tea enthusiasts. Choose your favourite photo, and we’ll heat transfer the image from top to bottom - no grainy pixels in sight. You can also pick the Large Personalised Photo Mug for people who need a constant hot drink supply.
Upgrade your personalised stoneware mug by choosing a red, blue, yellow or white inner colour. It’s an excellent way to give your Christmas gift a unique and thoughtful touch.
Surprise your loved one with an unusual Magic Mug. The mug in classic black looks simple and understated. That is, until you pour in hot water. Watch the black melt away to reveal a favourite memory in photo form.
When it comes to coffee lovers, our Personalised Latte Mug is a winner. Its large size is ideal when your family or friend needs a pick-me-up in the morning or during an afternoon slump.
If you have someone who prefers the outdoors, select a vibrant photo for a Stainless Steel Water Bottle. The 500ml bottle has a white background to make your feature image stand out. But it doesn’t just look good. It has a smooth rim and a double wall design — ideal for insulating hot and cold drinks.
The white rings of doom — every proud furniture owner’s nightmare. What if you could be the solution to their problem?
Bring a digital memory to life with our Personalised Photo Coasters. Scan children’s artwork, create a handwritten message or pick out your favourite image. The photo coaster’s high gloss finish, cork underside, and sleek, black edging is a stylish stocking filler that’s both practical and personal.
Transform your loved ones' fridge into a photo gallery with our premium-quality photo magnets. Upload a snapshot of their beloved pet, a family holiday, the grandchildren or a special occasion. Then, leave it to us.
We transfer your prints onto 4”x 4” frames to decorate magnetic surfaces. Every time your family or friend reach for the milk, they’ll experience a collection of happy memories.
Visualise a loved one's face as they open their stocking. Instead of pulling out a set of inspirational quotes (again), they are overjoyed with a Mini Photo Book. It’s the perfect unexpected and personalised Christmas gift.
Fill the pocket-friendly present with 80 pages of dynamic snapshots. These creative books feature a wrap-around image on the cover with a title of your choice. Here are a few photo book ideas:
Gather your favourite images of you and the person you’re gifting the mini book. Upload the photos and receive a professional book so they can flick through memories of you together.
Even though the day is special, wedding photos often stay in garages or attics. So, curate a booklet of the event for your loved one to reminisce.
The hum-drum of life can make the year feel like one long and unbroken timeline. But amongst that blur are spontaneous nights out, a family trip, birthdays and visiting friends. Pinpoint these moments to remind someone what an eventful year it’s been.
If someone has recently had a big birthday, give them a memento to remember it. Include images of them blowing out candles, hugging friends and opening presents.
It doesn’t matter if you travelled the world or stayed in a countryside house in Cornwall — every memory matters. Transport your loved one back to mountain hikes, botanical gardens or rainy beach visits in one book.
Dedicate a book to the family, showing outings and photos from when you were children to fully-fledged adults. It’s such a thoughtful gift that you might be lucky and spark a tear or two.
There is nothing better than the slight creak of a hardcover and the comforting paper smell of a new journal. Treat a loved one to a hard-backed A5 Personalised Photo Notebook with a matte finish.
Simply choose a cover image, whether that’s nature, a special occasion, holidays or a fond memory. You can also edit the notebook's title. Here are a few suggestions:
The classic instant camera no longer resides in every household. Instead, memories stay locked on the computer. Every now and then, you come across a photo and think, ‘I must print that.’ But you never do. And your family and friends are the same. So, do it for them and frame good times.
myFUJIFILM has an array of white, black and oak photo frames with different dimensions in portrait and landscape. All you need to do is choose the image, upload it, and select the frame. We’ll do the rest for you so you can gift something memorable this Christmas.
Go the extra mile and wrap your Christmas stocking gifts in memorable moments with Customised Photo Wrapping Paper.
Create a collage, select your favourite print or choose a photo of your face (now, who wouldn’t want that?). Our premium quality paper showcases digital images with vibrant colours to make your presents pop.
Ditch the dull Christmas stocking fillers and find something unique. Choose from our high-quality range of photo mugs, coasters, mini books, fridge magnets and journals. And add more than a satsuma this Christmas with my FUJIFILM.

Even better, you could be the one on the gifting end — and what’s more suited to the occasion than a specially selected personalised Christmas gift? In fact, one in four would rather receive something small but heartfelt than something expensive.

]]>As well as being a great addition to any home or coffee table, they're versatile, customisable, and make for thoughtful gifts for loved ones. However, amidst all the focus on the images between the pages, it's easy to overlook the importance of the photo book cover.
After all, your photo book cover is the first impression others will get. To make the most out of your photo book cover, let’s take a look at these five top tips so you can entice and captivate your audience.
Your photo book cover is the moment where your loved ones will do what we’ve always been taught not to do: judge a book by its cover. Unfortunately, judging a photo book by its cover doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…
Either way, it's vital to select an image that encapsulates the essence of your photo book, so we have a few tips to bear in mind.
The quality of your photo book cover is integral, so you should always ensure that your cover photo is of the highest resolution possible. If your image has a low resolution, then it could end up looking pixelated or blurry, distracting viewers from your wonderful photo book.
The cover of your photo book should represent the overall theme or story of your photo book. If you’d like to use your photo book as a travel diary from a holiday that you never want to forget, choose an iconic destination shot.
For a family album, opt for a heartwarming family portrait, or a funny picture to encapsulate your unique personalities. Don’t worry, we’ll give you some more ideas later on in this blog, too.
When we say a well-balanced image, we mean a picture that has a clear focal point. Ensure that there is a level of symmetry as this is visually pleasing to the eye. It’s also always best to avoid cluttered compositions to make your cover as charming as possible.
When you create a photo book with myFUJIFILM, you can use our simple editor to personalise and customise your photo book to your exact vision. In fact, you can even add text and captions to your images, and add a title to your photo book’s cover.
The text on your photo book cover should be both visually appealing and easily readable, and it’s important to hit that balance sooner rather than later when designing your photo book.
Select a font that complements both the style and the theme of your book. Elegant scripts work well for wedding albums, while bold sans-serif fonts are great for more contemporary designs such as heart-warming family photo books, or fun birthday photo book gifts.
Make sure the title, subtitle, captions, or any other text you include on your front cover is appropriately sized and placed. Most importantly, try to position the text so that it doesn't obstruct the view of your cover photo.
Thankfully, with the help of our photo book design preview, you’ll be able to check how your photo book looks before ordering.
It’s always a good idea to use a font colour that contrasts with the main colour scheme of your background image. This ensures readability, so people can actually see what your photo book is all about. For instance, a white font works well on a dark background and vice versa.
The choice between a soft or hard cover largely depends on the nature of your photo book and your own personal preferences.
Soft-cover photo books tend to be more lightweight and flexible, making them an excellent choice for travel diaries or casual family albums. They are also equally as high in quality as hardcover photo books. It truly does just come down to preference and what you think works best with your chosen photo book topic.
On the other hand, hardcover photo books offer durability and a more professional look and feel. They are ideal for showcasing a work portfolio, or for creating special occasion albums including images from graduations, parties, and other nostalgic memories.
The most fun part about creating a photo book is tailoring your cover design to your photo book’s chosen occasion or theme.
For a wedding photo book, opt for elegant and romantic designs with a focus on a couple's photo or portrait. For a personalised touch, you could incorporate the chosen wedding colours, flower icons, and motifs.
To showcase your travels with a holiday photo book, why not add a map of your route, or a globe-themed background with travel-inspired fonts to highlight your journeys? Or, add your favourite photo from the trip so you’re only a glance away from your perfect destination.
For special family albums, incorporate candid family shots to show all sides of your family, crazy, serious and everything in between. Or, add a collage of all your extended family members to convey a sense of warmth and togetherness.
If you’re creating a photo book for a work portfolio or to showcase a work event, why not customise your cover with event-specific details, such as the date, your business’s colour scheme, or your logo?
Before finalising your photo book cover, it's essential to review and test it — and this couldn’t be more simple with our preview tool.
When proofreading your photo book, check all text for spelling and grammatical errors. After all, mistakes on the cover can be glaring and distracting from the wonderful images inside.
If you have friends and family around while you’re making your photo book, why not ask them for their opinions? They may have a design idea that you hadn’t thought of before, and fresh eyes might catch small typos or errors that you've missed.
At myFUJIFILM, we offer a range of customisable photo books to help you create something you’re proud of — all from the cover to the final page. Start putting together your photo book design today, and turn your memories into a beautiful, tangible storybook that will last a lifetime.

]]>But the last thing you want is for the photos on your mug to look pixelated, or to have too much empty space. So if you’re thinking about gifting a Personalised Photo Mug made for a family member or a friend, you may be wondering what are the top tips for designing the best mug.
Image quality is perhaps the most important aspect of creating your Personalised Photo Mug, as it’s such a vital part of making your gift personalised.
As a general rule, 12 megapixels guarantees a good-looking 8x10 photo print, so whilst the photos on your personalised mug are bound to be much smaller, photos of this quality are sure to produce beautiful results. For ceramic mugs, we also recommend that the minimum resolution of your photos is 1050x2400 (you can check this by looking at your image’s properties).
On an Android, you can do this within the Google Photos app, and if you have an iPhone, you can do this by swiping up on an image to reveal its information. On a website you can simply right-click to ‘inspect’ the image properties, before downloading it - just make sure it’s royalty-free or you own the copyright.
Choose clear, bright photos for your Personalised Photo Mug as this will make a huge difference to the appearance of the finished result. Try to use the same (or similar) quality of photos across your photo mug to help maintain consistency.
Here at myFUJIFILM, we can guarantee high-quality photo gifts, but we won’t make any edits to your photos. You can use our editing tool that’s available during the upload process to make sure that everything looks perfect before sending it off for creation.
The layout of your photos is key to creating a cohesive look for your personalised photo mug. It can also tell a short story or convey a theme for your special someone.
It’s important to remember that when you’re shuffling your collage, notice which photos are on the side of your mug. For right-handed giftees, the photos they will see the most are the ones nearest the handle on the left side of the mug, and for left-handed sippers, it’s the opposite.
You should take extra care to make these photos as thoughtful and impactful as possible, as they are the ones your giftee will likely see the most. You may even wish to include a larger photo with smaller photos around it, often called a ‘hero photo’ — the centrepiece of your photo collection.
Personalised mugs come in various shapes and sizes, and your photo choice should align with your ideal design concept.
The classic Personalised White Photo Mug is a timeless choice. It typically holds around 11 ounces (325ml) of liquid and is characterised by its straight sides and C-shaped handle. Standard mugs are versatile and can display your chosen photo with clarity.
Latte mugs, also known as tall mugs, have a more contemporary look. They are taller and slimmer than standard mugs, offering a larger canvas for your photo and allowing for more creative design options. Portrait photos work especially well on a Latte Mug due to their height.
Slightly larger than your average mug, our 15 oz Large Personalised Photo Mug is the perfect gift for the well-seasoned coffee or tea drinker. The best thing about this mug is that you can wrap an entire photo around it, without any borders, and it’s a great canvas for photo collages.
Select from vibrant red, blue, yellow, or crisp white inner colours for these 11 oz Custom Ceramic Mugs. The coloured inner classic design offers the same space as a Personalised White Photo Mug, with an extra dash of colour, as you enjoy your morning brew or navigate a busy workday.
Craft your unique 11 oz Stoneware Magic Mug as a special gift. Initially appearing as a plain black mug, the magic unfolds as your image gradually emerges from the bottom to the top, adding a fun and exciting element of personalisation.
When it comes to personalised mugs, the subject matter of your photo plays a crucial role. Consider what you or your giftee will enjoy looking at each time they indulge in a hot beverage.
A beloved pet's photo can bring joy and warmth to your giftee’s daily routine as it represents the emotional connection, comfort, and support these furry companions offer. It can also help them relive fond memories of shared moments.
Pictures of breathtaking landscapes, such as serene beaches or majestic mountains, can transport your giftee to their favourite places, offering a sense of calm and nostalgia.
Capturing the essence of family bonds by including photos of loved ones on a personalised mug will remind your giftee of the love and connection present within their family.
By adding a background colour and dropping in some text to accompany your images, you can imbue your gift with an extra touch of thoughtfulness. You could use text for names, birthdays, notable dates, quotes, or even inside jokes on your mug for an extra dose of personalisation.
Make sure you choose a suitable background colour or pattern that complements your photo selection, and keep in mind that the background should not overpower the main image. When adding text, use readable fonts and select colours that contrast well with the background.
Our online ‘Create Now’ feature allows you to completely personalise your mug. You can select your photos, your style of mug, colour, layout, and whether you’d like to add any text before sending it off for creation.
Reviewing your personalised photo mug design before finalising your purchase is crucial to avoid any stress of refunds and returns.
Since alterations are not possible once the design is sent to us, this step ensures that the mug’s design reflects your vision accurately. Taking the time to carefully assess details like photo placement, text, and background choice guarantees that the final product will align with your giftee’s preferences.
If you’re looking to make the perfect Personalised Photo Mug for a special someone, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or just because — bring your memories to life with myFUJIFILM.
With our online tool, simply select your favourite images, arrange them into your chosen layout,and voila! There you have it. A thoughtful, creative photo gift ready to be delivered straight to your giftee’s door.
