Why yes, I am back with another listicle, thank you for asking. This time I’m talking about why Chicago photography prints make great gifts (while simultaneously working “Chicago photography prints” into this article for SEO purposes. What? Don’t hate me.)
Anyhow, prints make great gifts for a number of reasons, but if you’re shopping for someone who loves this city (and who doesn’t, really?), Chicago photography prints may make the perfect gift. So buy some from me. Ha! I kid. Sort of.
While prints make superb gifts for a variety of occasions, I’ve come across some other items that may tickle your fancy. Here are a few photo-related gift ideas that might be a good match for your favorite person:
1. Personalized Polaroid Photo & Frame
This one is a super cute personalized gift available on Etsy. It makes a great engagement gift for your favorite enfianced couple. And since we’re quickly approaching Hallmark-Movie-Where-City-Girl-Falls-For-Simple-Hometown-Boy season, you know more engagements are on the way. Keep this one in your back pocket for the next happy engagement that comes up.
2. Wifi Digital Picture Frame
Personally, my tastes are a bit more old fashioned than this; I happen to enjoy prying those little metal prongs away from the photo backing every time I want to switch out a photo from a frame. HOWEVER. I realize that many people love the ability to display multiple high-res photos digitally and not get stabbed under their finger nail. If you are related to and/or friends with one of those people, this might make a great gift. Your loved one will enjoy the 10 inch color touch-screen display with 1280×800 resolution – and not getting stabbed under their finger nail.
3. Photo Clip String Lights
This is a cute gift idea for the friend that loves the low-key, cozy aesthetic. Clip up your polaroids (or Chicago photography prints!) and use the little remote to brighten and dim to your liking. While some people might enjoy these as home decor, they can also be used for a number of occasions like birthdays and rehearsal dinners.
4. Personalized USA Photo Map
I love this. Whether your friend is a travel-fiend or just has some great photos from across the nation to feature, this gift is perfect. Each state has space for a photo, and the map can be personalized with names in a variety of ways. It’s a wonderful way to commemorate a couple for their wedding anniversary or engagement – or to celebrate your favorite solo traveler. Also, and I don’t want to overstep here, but do you know what would go perfectly in the Illinois slot? I’m not even going to type it because I know you do.
