Spokrafty: Shutterfly

I've been a fan of Shutterfly for a while now. After Locke was born, we had a new set of gift opportunities opened to us. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and great-grandparents love seeing their cute little baby friends in photos and products. I ordered multiple times from Shutterfly and have never been disappointed. They are quick to ship, great quality, and great priced. It's really convenient to just download my photos and order them and have them shipped. I've even ordered photos and had them shipped directly to family since we live so far away. One thing that I love is that they have package print prices, where you can buy a big lump sum of 100 photos or so and just use them up as you go. So often I've put off printing photos because I don't want to spend the $20-50 it takes to dump all of the photos I've taken the last few months, so I either end up putting it off or ordering around 10 at a time. The print plants make it easy to stay caught up!

Here are some of my favorites from Shutterfly:

Photo books:

I've made a lot of these for the grandparents, and they are a great way to record memories and keep your kids young (because they grow up way too fast!). Both Granny and Papa have loved their 8x8 books, and the coolest part is that I got a great deal on them. Shutterfly always has promotions and free deals, so just by signing up you get some great things. These are hardbound books, and are resilient and high quality. I love the patterns and styles that they have. It adds personality as a backdrop to the photos and colors that match the photos. They have been perfect gifts, and I'm using them instead of regular scrapbooks for our family. It's nice to have high quality printing that makes it look really professional. They have themes to match every season, holiday, personality, and individual. I can't imagine anyone going there and being disappointed with the selection!

Calendars:

Every year my brother in law makes a calendar for Christmas for the family, and it's so fun to see the new photos every month as you turn the calendar throughout the year. Calendars are perfect gifts, for birthdays, Christmas, or otherwise. I especially love the Calendar posters and desk calendars, that would be perfect for the office. I love the layout of them, and how sleek they look.

Greeting Cards:

I love using photos for cards, especially for birthdays and events. They have great and stylish cards for every occasion, and they are reasonably priced too! I made some photo thank you cards for Locke's first birthday, and couldn't have been more pleased. They were a great personalized touch, and a huge hit.

Holiday Cards:

I love Shutterfly's holiday card collection. I love that it's hip, modern, and not your average Christmas card. They have styles for every taste, and they are really high quality. I can't wait to order mine, but I'm having trouble deciding!
