Some of the best Christmas gifts to give family and loved ones are pictures of your family! Bonus points because you can easily customize these all yourself. Additional bonus points for being products that are actually useful :) I've also included some cool family photo Holiday cards for you to personalize and send out to everyone on your list. These are my absolute favorite kind of cards to receive, especially when you don't get to see these people much during the year. Christmas is the time to get lovey and mushy, so I say go all the way with gifts showing off the smiling faces of people they love!!
Simply upload a family photo into the template and change the name and voila! An ornament you can give to your loved ones to remind them of this year's holiday. You can make this a tradition, one a year, and your loved ones can hand the ornaments on the tree in order. They can see your progress over the years :)
Metal Ornament
I've done this before, and it was a hit! Even for people who don't puzzle regularly. They will love this one, and be honest, we all have a little more time over the holidays to build a puzzle with the loved ones. With a hot chocolate in your jammies, this is a great activity for those cold mornings over Christmas break. Upload an old photo of your parents when they got married, or your grandparents first home together. Use your imagination!
Family Photo Jigsaw Puzzle
You can use any photo here, but the idea is that the pillow can be given as a gift, and taken out every year with the Christmas decorations. I love the idea of a pet photo. Even when the beloved pet is no longer with you, you can remember them at Christmas.

This is a cheater… there are no photos to upload. But if you have a gaggle of kiddos who remind you of silly sock monkeys, you might like this mug! I imagine that one parent could give this to the other at Christmas. There is a mug for parents with 2, 3, 4, or 5 kids with spaces to change the monkey's names. So cute!
