20 Photo Gift Ideas For Boyfriend

What is the best way to make a gift more desirable? By personalising it.

When the person you are giving the gift to is a special gentleman who you refer to as boo, there is only one resort. You must resort to impeccable photo gift ideas for boyfriend and select a combination of the best gifts possible!

Here are some of the most popular photo gift ideas for you to choose from and make your boyfriend's birthday extra happy.

1. Photo canvas

A photo canvas enables you to have a favourite photo or image printed onto woven canvas and then stretched over a gallery grade frame. The end result is not only great looking but durable and long lasting so that you can enjoy its impeccable looks for years to come. A good selection of sizes and dimensions, as well as more bespoke options, enable you to find exactly the right canvas for your needs and to match the image you wish to use.

2. Photo blanket

As with the photo canvas, there are a number of photo blanket sizes available from small ones that are perfect for cots or children's beds, to large photo blankets that are ideal for use on standard beds, as lap blankets or to display. You can choose the colour of the underside of the blanket as well as the image or collection of images to use on the top of the stunning photo blanket.

3. Personalised calendar

A personalised calendar not only offers personalisation in the shape of the thirteen pictures that you wish to use but it also allows for the addition of a caption or text to each month. You can decide the month when the calendar is due to start and finish and you can also choose the exact series of how you want the pictures printed in the calendar. This range of customisation allows for a vast array of uses of a personalised calendar.

4. Photobooks

Photo books have been around for some time but modern incarnations are quite different from their more aged predecessors. A photo book allows for borderless and frameless printing on both sides of every page and each page can be individually designed so that it even includes an overlaid photograph or a series of pictures.

5. Personalised photo boxes

Photo boxes can be used to store a gift during transit but they can also be given as great little gifts. Fully constructed before they arrive, the image is not only printed on the lid but wrapped onto the sides of the box as well to give an overall finish of professionalism and to ensure that the great looks of the picture chosen are not compromised in any way.

6. Photo laptop bags

It is possible to customise laptop bags with your photographs. As standard, this customisation allows for the addition of one photograph or display on one side of the bag but you can also opt to have the same or a different image printed on the reverse of your laptop bag.

7. Combine several pictures in one photo montage

You can combine a small number of pictures into a smaller montage. Or a huge number of pictures into a tiled mosaic effect - either method can be used to great effect.

8. Converting to coloured pictures

Are there old photographs of your sweetheart? Childhood photographs are a big source of nostalgia and can be used to repurpose gifts. Send these old colour pictures and get them converted to coloured pictures. So the next time you want to impress your darling, here is the most notable birthday gift for boyfriend.

9. Create pop art prints

There are a number of different types of pop art, each of which offers a unique look. From che to warhol style, the injection and use of colour are obvious. Photo gifts using pop art prints make fun and unique items.

10. Cropping your pictures

When you are giving a thoughtful gift to your dear boyfriend, the focus should be on what he likes and what he prefers. As the point of gifting a photo personalised present is on the line, it is necessary to use images that either focus on the birthday boy, or if your boyfriend has a solo image. If your beloved shies away from the camera, the alternative images to be used can be of yours or something he is obsessed with. If he has a pet, then his canine friend can be in one of the pictures. Just take printouts and then hang them by a thread on the wall. Something as simple as this too, can make him gush.

11. Creating photo gifts using your unique images

Make your beloved blush with a compilation of your pictures! This is an ideal way to customise the decoration of your boyfriend's home and his memories. You can get creative with the picture style - noir, boudoir, etc.

12. Canvas prints

Mind you, there is a difference in the look and feel between canvas and canvas prints. Canvas prints are one of the most widely used of all photo gifts because of their great looks. The woven canvas offers excellent photo reproduction while the raised texture of canvas also gives the picture a whole new lease of life that is difficult to achieve when printing on any other type of material. Canvas prints can be customised to include a single image or even a montage of photos depending on your preference and the number of pictures you want to use.

13. Photo card

Prints cover every section of the page from left to right and top to bottom so that the overall feel is one of extreme quality and good looks. The front cover can be personalised to include a photo or photographs of your choice too making it even more special. You can also put customised wishes and greetings.

14. Photo albums

Photo albums are still a very popular way of displaying cherished photos. You can mount your own 6 x 4 prints as well as more unusually shaped pictures, and you still have the option of personalising the front cover to include a favourite photograph and a personal message or greeting.

15. Photo bedsheets

The safe and extremely comfortable photo bedsheet works very well when having a photo montage applied to it. The standard print for a photo bedsheet is a single picture printed on one side with your choice of colour. You can also add a customised message for your boo here.

16. Photo cushions

A photo cushion offers similar options with a picture printed on one side and your choice of colour on the reverse. You can add a photo montage rather than a single picture if you wish but, as with all photo gifts, the great joy is in the addition of a personal photo. Use a good looking picture of the happy couple together and give them a comfortable and good looking home décor accessory in the process.

17. Photo cubes

Photo cubes are unique photo gifts made from firm cushion fabric and covered with a soft, velvety material. Customise each of the six faces using pictures, photos, and text according to your own design and the end result is a great looking photo gift that can be given to any couple.

18. Photos on ceramic, plastic and other materials

One type of photographic gifts is printing photographs onto fabrics. The other type is to get the image on a harder material such as ceramic. A photograph printed on ceramic is another popular souvenir trend. Photo printed tea mugs, plates, wall/floor tiles are trendy, long lasting and attractive. Photographic printed plastic has so many variations. Because of the wide usage of plastic and ceramic, anything that contains these materials can be turned into a personalized photographic gift.

19. Photo mobile covers

Get the pictures of your dearest on the back of a mobile cover. The same goes for laptop covers and other device and appliance covers.

20. Photo cake

Poster and photo cakes are the merriest of birthday gifts. The best part about this customisable cake is that you can add any kind of message and any of your boyfriend's pictures.
