This year, Photobox have given me the chance to test some of their best selling gifts, personalising them with some of my own favourite images, to make bespoke presents for my family.
Personalised iPhone Photo Case
You can really make your iPhone stand out from the crowd with an iPhone photo case. Using a single photo or making a collage of favourite snaps, the case is lightweight and hard wearing. The case is available for any iPhone from the 3G to the 5S and makes a great gift. I love the idea of having photos of loved ones at hand all day long!
It is so easy to make the case using the layout templates, picking the background colour and using photos uploaded to your online album. You can drag and drop the images and rearrange them until you are happy with your design. You can have a matt or gloss finish.
The finished product arrives quickly, well packaged and sealed in a plastic case, ready to wrap up and pop under the tree.
- iPhone 5/5S, iPhone 4/4S or iPhone 3G/3GS cases
- Brand new design has photo printed all the way down the side too

A3 Photo Wall Calendar
I love having a photo calendar to hang on my wall, so I get to see pictures of my gorgeous kids and grandson all year through. The A3 wall calendars are a perfect size and will keep you organised for the next 12 months!
To make the book, you need to choose a theme. I went for a simple Photographic Black, but there are many more colourful and patterned themes if you prefer something fancier. You then pick the photos you want to use from your album and drag and drop them into position using one to three images per page. You can add text if you wish.
The front is protected by a thick plastic sheet and the pages are made from thick, glossy card. The printing is clear and crisp giving a top quality finish to your personalised calendar. The A3 size is perfect, making it large enough for practical use, plus the photos look great hung on the wall. The calendar comes spiral bound for easy hanging.
As an added option, you can add unlimited photos or text to mark special days for just £2.99. I decided to use just text so I had room to write on the spaces too, but the photo option looks really cool and doesn't cost any extra (I may be regretting that decision now!) It is very useful to get special dates pre-printed on to the calendar, and this would make a very practical gift idea for grandparents who struggle to remember all the birthdays!
- Unlimited photos for special days just £2.99
- Month-to-view layout
- Choose your own start month
- All you need is 13 photos
- Layouts with 1-3 photos
- Spiral bound white or black pages
- 13 double-sided pages
- 250gsm premium card
- 3 working days production time
The A3 Wall Calendar is currently on offer from just £9.95 (for a multiple purchase) which is 60% off! A brilliant gift idea for a fabulous price!
