Holiday Gift Ideas for Your Clients

by Kristina Rust Photography

I love giving my clients a little something extra during the holidays...something unexpected to thank them for choosing me to photograph their families.   This year my go to items have been metal ornaments, personalized notebooks and mini-canvas photos.  With all the great holiday promotions going on right now, most of these gifts can be purchased for under $20.

I realize now as I write this post, that I should have taken photos before I packed up all my goodies and delivered them to clients.  But I was too excited to go out and spread my photo cheer and forgot....oh well.

But here are the sites I ordered from (note some of these are affiliate links) and if you hurry you can still get these great gifts in time for Christmas too. 

Tiny Prints:  I ordered personalized notebooks and metal ornaments from Tiny Prints.  I was very happy with the quality of both products and so were my excited clients.  

I actually ordered the metal ornaments from Shutterfly (Tiny Prints, parent company) and instead of putting the family name I added the year.  It's the perfect keepsake! And right now you can save 40% using the code OURFAVS (offer expires 12/11/2014 so act fast). 

Photobucket: Their 5x7 mini-canvases were the perfect way to share a favorite photo with my clients.  I used the code CANVAS70 and purchased these well made gifts for under $10.

Holiday Cards from Tiny Prints

If you have been following our blog, you know we are big fans of Tiny Prints.  We love all of the wonderful cards they carry as well as their fantastic selection of photo inspired gifts.

Now that the holidays are just around the corner, we've been busy clicking through their site looking for card ideas for our own families as well as our clients.  They have a fantastic selection and making a decision is going to be tough!

Thankfully, their site is easy to navigate and they have filters located down the left hand side of their site to make it easy to narrow down the selection.   I love the fact that once I have determined how many photos I'm going to use, that I can check a box and see the number of cards that fit that format.  You can further narrow down the choices by checking themes, colors, and card formats (i.e flat or folded).

So far, I'm leaning towards the design below for my family's card.  You can find it here.

I tend to lean towards the classic, simple look and I found this design by putting a check mark in the following boxes:

•     Number of photos--1
•     Themes:  Non-Religious Sentiments
•     Card Formats--Folded

On second thought, I might choose this one.... you can see the large version here.  

I have a feeling getting my four kids to sit still for the camera is going to be tough so a collage design might be in order!

Disclosure:  I was provided with 50 holiday cards  for this post.  While I'm super excited to receive these cards, they in no way influenced my review.  All the opinions are my own and I was not compensated for this post.
