I have been using Shutterfly for the past few years now and love the photo Christmas cards:
http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards I just made some to send to friends and family this year and they look great! I can’t wait until they come in the mail. In the past I have made photo books but have yet to create a calendar
http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/desk-calendars They do look pretty neat though. I might do one for a gift some day. Birth announcements are always a great idea too
http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birth-announcements Why not send out great looking cards for a fraction of the cost from a photographer? I think Shutterfly is great and the shipping is pretty fast too. I have used them for quite a few years now and when I give pictures as gifts, the recipients love them so much and thought I spent a fortune. Of course I did not tell them the cost but for what it’s worth, photos are priceless!
I will continue to use Shutterfly for years to come because they make such great products and gift giving is so easy! The best thing is that you don’t have to leave your home and everything is mailed right to your door. If you don’t believe me, try it out for yourself and I think you will love them too!
