Holiday Gifts for Family and Clients:Beyond Just Images
I can not believe that the holidays are a mere ten weeks away. I have many things on my mind, some seem very important like what to get a six year old who is too old for Thomas the Train but too young for Robotics and model cars. Others have me in a sheer panic — like what fun art project can I do with the kids to fulfill their grandparents ‘homemade gift’ tradition. After all I there are only so many things a six year old and two year old can make, paint or do that an adult (other then their Mom) would cherish and keep for years to come.
I have come across some fun ideas on things to make, create or use your photographs in a unique way.
1. Shrink tags – OK so you don’t really use your photos — although if you purchased the inkjet compatible acetate you could. This just looks like fun. It is also a great way to make tags and things to update and give your packing of holiday photos for your clients that extra something.
2. Photo calendars — these are by far my favorite gift to give Grandparents. Who does not love to see their beautiful grandchild and it’s practical. I love the template shared by the Shutter Sisters — it uses standard CD cases to hold the prints — and most of us have tons of those hanging around or can easily pick them up at an office supply store. Use your art photographs and this can also double as a fun give away for clients, teachers or just about anyone on your gift giving list.
