More about personalised gifts for Best Friend

A personalised gift works because it could only have come from you. Everything on this page starts with a photograph you already have, or a handful of words only you would think to write down, a saying, a year, the name everyone calls them.

Each idea on this page is a layout rather than a finished picture: you choose it, put your own photos and words into it, see exactly how it will look, and only then decide what to print it on.

If none of them is right, describe them in your own words instead. You do not need to know what you want, that is what the brief is for.

FAQ About Gifts for Your Best Friend

What are thoughtful birthday or Christmas gifts for a best friend?

The most thoughtful birthday or Christmas gifts for a best friend come from years of laughing at the same things. Printerpix can line them up as a strip of photos from the year you met to now, a letter to your best friend beside one photo, or a photo book of your friendship, with your own words added.

What is a touching gift for a best friend who is moving away?

A touching gift for a best friend who is moving away is something to unpack first in the new place. A canvas print of the two of you, a photo book of your years in the same town, or a set of photo coasters for the new table. Write a line about the next visit inside the photo book.

What can I give a male or female best friend?

A male best friend might get a Printerpix mug for his desk or a jigsaw puzzle of a trip you took, with one line he will laugh at. For a female best friend, choose a framed print of the two of you on a night out, or a photo book with a note written just for her.

What are good gifts for friends?

Good gifts for friends are small, personal and often funny. For a work bestie, a photo mug of a team night out with a shared joke underneath. For a special friend, a key ring or a magnet for the fridge. Choose the photo behind the joke and keep the line on the mug short.

What are personalised gifts for a best friend?

Meaningful, personalised gifts for a best friend can be made from photos straight off your camera roll: the festival, the flat you shared, the wedding where you gave the speech. Printerpix prints the gift once you are happy with how it looks.

How long does it take to arrive?

Made to order in 1 to 3 working days, then tracked delivery in 2 to 3 working days. Expedited delivery in 1 to 2 working days is offered at the checkout, with the date you would get it, before you pay.

What if I do not have good photos?

You need fewer than you think. Plenty of these take a single picture, and some take none at all, the ones built from names, dates and a few lines you write yourself.

Can I change my mind after I have started?

Yes. Nothing is printed until you have seen a preview and confirmed it, so you can change the photos, the words or the product itself up to that point.

What if it arrives and it is not right?

Tell us. Every order is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: not right? We’ll reprint it or refund you.

Is it really made from my own photos?

Yes, that is the whole point. Your original photo is never altered; whatever you make is produced alongside it, so you keep both.
