Personalised Birthday Gifts

A good personalised birthday gift for her starts with somewhere she loved being. For a sister, wife or female best friend, a canvas print of the holiday. For a girlfriend, a cushion with the dog on it. Birthday gifts for him, whether a boyfriend, husband or brother, can be a Printerpix mug of his proudest catch. Or a jigsaw of the whole family at the last get-together.

A good 40th or 50th birthday gift looks back over the decades. A photo book that opens with scanned childhood photos and ends with last summer does that in one go. Women and men who say they want nothing still read every page. For the wall, a Printerpix canvas or metal print of a big 40 or 50, filled with photos from the years before it.

A good 18th birthday gift, or a 21st, is a photo book of them growing up, from a first school uniform to the leavers' photos. For someone moving into halls, a Printerpix photo blanket of the ladies from netball or the guys from five-a-side makes a new room feel like theirs. A 16th birthday gift can be the same book, a couple of years shorter.

Nana birthday gifts work best with the grandchildren in them: a mug with their faces for her morning tea, a cushion for her chair, or a jigsaw of everyone at the last family lunch. The same ideas suit Nan, Grandad or an auntie, with whichever photos you pick. There is more for her on the Gifts for Grandma page.

Yes, a birthday gift can be made start to finish on a phone, which helps when the daughter or son is the one with all the photos. Photos go straight from your camera roll into the Printerpix designer. You add a name or a line of your own, and see the finished gift before you pay. It works the same way on a computer.

A good 30th birthday gift for a male friend or a flatmate catches the decade just gone: a photo book of flatshares, festivals and first jobs. For Mum's or Dad's 60th, 70th, 80th or 90th birthday, or a mother-in-law's, a Printerpix canvas print can pair a wedding photo with one of the grandchildren. Or a photo blanket of the whole family puts every year since then in one place.

A good 1st birthday gift for a baby boy or girl is as much for the parents as for the baby. A photo book of the first year, from the hospital photo to the first steps. Or a canvas print for the nursery with the baby's name on it. Printerpix makes both from the family's photos, a keepsake for when they are old enough to ask.

An unusual birthday gift that needs no photos: a funny retro badge joking they are a classic, a special edition from their birth year, on a Printerpix cushion or mug. With one photo, set their birth year in big type beside it, with a few facts about that year, on a canvas print. The man or woman who has everything will not have one, and the joke is oddly meaningful.

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.

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.

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.

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

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