thoughtful ways to preserve your memories
clocks
One item you can order from photography.com are wall clocks. I feel like these are the perfect way to preserve your favorite images because how many times a day do you look at the clock?! Personally, I look at the clock all throughout my day as I always have to be to school pick up or drop off or gymnastics or speech or a myriad of other activities for my little hooligans. It would be so nice to be able to see their sweet faces as I dash out the door to pick them up!

planked wood prints
For us, I picked a planked wood print from photography.com to show off this sweet capture of my girls. I liked the look of the planks and knew that it would work great with our home décor. I was a little unsure of what the quality would be like but I shouldn’t have worried. The print arrived and it was gorgeous! I couldn’t believe that the quality of the image that was so perfectly preserved for the size that I ordered and being printed on wood. I am SO happy with the result–what a perfect way to preserve your memories!
photo tapestry
These stylish photo tapestries are a great way to display your images on the walls of your home. Not only do they look great, but they would be so easy for anyone to hang and easily change out when the time came! I also like that they would be light enough to hang in places where a traditional frame couldn’t.

photo chalkboards
For the busy mom-on-the-go who has a hard time remembering things if they’re not written down (guilty!) I like the option of the photo chalkboards. These photo chalkboards are not only perfect for displaying a favorite capture of your loved ones, but important dates, appointments, and lists can be jotted down on the chalkboard portion making this not only a beautiful gift, but a highly useful one as well!
canvas
Canvas prints are the perfect choice for someone that prefers to showcase their loved ones’ images in a traditional way. These will never go out of style and they look great hanging in a gallery on a wall. I know that I always get comments from people about the ones in my home.

That is so pretty!
I love photo gifts! Your Planked Wood Prints are beautiful! Great list to preserve those memories.
That wood print is gorgeous!! My MIL has been wanting to make one for us and I’m so excited about it!
I like the clock idea. It’s true that you look at the clock all the time, so it would make a wonderful gift.
These are such pretty ideas.
This is great! I really need to sit down and start doing something with all of the photos on my phone. Thanks for the inspiration.
Such a gorgeous print, the wood gives the photo such a fun unique look. I love the wood but I also think a clock could be really cool.
I had no idea you can have photos printed on wood–I’m definitely going to have to do that with some photos of my little!
This is absolutely the sweetest, Justine! I am totally going to print my girls birthday pics on the wood plank! How wonderful!
Love this since we’re big on family pictures. I usually go the canvas route, but oh how that plank option is calling my name! Love the uniqueness of it.
This is such a sweet picture Justine! I love all the unique ideas they have! We got my mom a fleece blanket this year for Mother’s Day with pictures on it because she’s always asking for pictures and she’s always cold. Winning!
