Returning to the core purpose of this blog, which is promoting FeeFiFoto, although writing about kids, dogs and mishaps is way more funner.
So. I've been running FeeFiFoto for just about three years. We can put your favorite photos on all kinds of stuff that makes great gifts for friends, family, teachers. I personally have a mousepad, mug, photo book and ceramic tile with photos of Cupcake on them; a photo book, travel mug and deck of cards with pictures of Robey, and several handbags with photos of Miss Puppy.
Why am I bringing this up now when I haven't written about FeeFiFoto Personalized Photo Gifts in quite a while? Well, in case you haven't noticed, the Christmas Hanukkah Chanukah Hah-Noo-Kuh Holiday gift giving season is upon us, like it or not. And with the economy still lumbering along, this year we're all being much more circumspect about how to spend our money on gift giving. This year it makes sense to put your money into gifts for friends and family that will have some lasting meaning for them. What could be better than putting the baby's photo or the dog's or cat's on a personalized photo calendar, or mug, or handbag, or tote bag?
One customer purchased 30 tiles with a photo of her mother on a show horse as favors for her mother's 80th birthday party. Another customer put her parents' wedding photo on a porcelain plate in honor of their anniversary. A third customer put a picture of her son on mousepads as Bar Mitzvah party favors.
When FeeFiFoto first started, under the profoundly boring name of Photogiftplace.com before I bought the site and transformed it into the aesthetic and retail powerhouse it now is, their main business consisted of producing personalized photo calendars; eventually they and we branched out into offering all sorts of items to be personalized with photographs. Nevertheless, even the calendars lent themselves to imaginative gift giving; one customer produced an annual calendar with a year's worth of photos of his niece as she grew up.
It's not always photographs that end up on these personalized gifts, either. One year we gave teacher appreciation gifts decorated with a graphic pertaining to teamwork. Last year I designed two tapestries with photo collages of third graders' art work to be sold at our school's fund raising auction; I seem to recall they went for $1.5 million apiece, but I could be a little off here.
For the next three weeks or so, until November 15, whenever that is, you can get free ground shipping (domestic only) on personalized photo calendars from FeeFiFoto. Just enter coupon code CALFREESHIP09 at checkout. And keep checking back because once the calendar promotion expires I'm going to be offering a discount on personalized Christmas ornaments.
