Photo Gifts

Maybe a neighbour dog-sat, or a friend brought you ice cream during a breakup. Perhaps a work mentor helped you land a promotion, or a family member did your grocery shopping. Whatever it is, you want to say “thank you”. But in a way that shows they’re worth more than a supermarket bottle of wine.

Photo thank you gifts make unique and thoughtful presents. And with our easy design features, they’re super quick to create. Go big or go small, with anything from a classic photo book to a fun fridge magnet. Read on for a snapshot of the best thank you gifts for every occasion.

The best personalised gifts 

Nothing shows appreciation like a thoughtful thank you gift. Check out our range of stylish ideas that express your gratitude for any occasion. 

Thank you photo gifts for pet sitting 

Pets are our besties — but they can also be a handful. Feeding, walking, and cleaning up after them are demanding tasks for pet sitters. So, giving them a personalised gift shows your appreciation (and encourages future pet sitting!).

Our Custom Ceramic Mug is a simple and unique option. Make it fun and playful by customising the mug with a pic of your cheeky-looking pet. If your pet sitter has their own furry friend, why not add their photo instead? Nothing makes a pet parent smile more than seeing their mischievous dog or quirky cat with every sip of coffee

Creating your photo mug is a breeze. Make it pop by picking the colour of the handle and mug interior, then use our simple design tool to upload your favourite snap. Add text, stickers, and frames to level up the imagery for a special thank you.

Thank you photo gifts for help at work 

We’ve all had to deal with difficult situations at work… So, it’s a real blessing when someone kind and supportive is there to help. Maybe it’s a career mentor, your work bestie, or someone who recovered that crashed spreadsheet. Either way, you want to show them some gratitude with a thoughtful gift.

Our Wooden Block Calendar or Linen Style Coaster both make thoughtful desk gifts for your work friends. Plus, they’re extremely practical, too, for extra brownie points.

Make every coffee break feel like an experience with a high-quality linen-style photo coaster, finished with a pic that’s sure to make them smile. Even the funniest work photo or cutest pet picture can look 100 times better when set onto one of these petite desktop canvases.

If you want to support your time-management-loving work pal, the Wooden Block Calendar might be right up their street. It’s elegant, nifty, and made with a real wood base, showcasing 13 personalised photos alongside a sleek calendar page. It’s the perfect size for any workspace desk and a truly unique minimalist-style photo gift.

Thank you photo gifts for wedding favours 

Weddings are a massive undertaking, so it’s not uncommon to rope in some help. It might be a local business that gave you a wedding bouquet discount. Friends who decorated the venue. Or your mum, who fixed a tear with her emergency sewing kit. After the big day is over, you want to show your eternal gratitude with a memorable gift.</p><br> 

 A Bamboo & Acrylic Photo Block is a unique gift that brings a chic aesthetic to any space. Your giftee can use it as elegant house decor in their living room or bring a boring bedside table to life. The contemporary photo block also features subtle magnets for interchangeable images. Why not go one step further and provide a selection of glossy or lustre photo prints to switch up? You can also add an artistic spin by editing the images for a moody, sepia-toned, or vibrant effect.

Thank you photo gifts for party planning 

When a party is on the cards, you can’t go wrong with glitter. So if you’re looking for a gift that screams “thank you for planning the best celebration”, check out our Glitter Photo Block, complete with glamorous shimmer. The sparkly shaker photo block is perfect for glitzing up a tired workspace or giving rooms fun decor.

Wondering what snap to add? Choose a vibrant party photo to showcase the event, like a group photograph or a funny moment captured on camera. Your honoured party planner can then gently shake the block for a rain of silver sparkles. 

Thank you photo gifts for holidays 

Special holidays are moments to reconnect with loved ones. A personalised Mini Photo Book brings thoughtfulness to any relationship and captures memories all in one place. This innovative present is easy to create with your smartphone, so you can design a heartfelt gift on the go.

Our Mini Photo Books contain up to 80 pages, so you can showcase everything from tender moments to memorable mishaps. Opt for a lustre or gloss finish and enjoy a high-quality, softcover with customisable picture, text, and colour. The flat binding makes it easy to flick through to share good times and reminisce about happy moments.</p><br> 

If a Mini Photo Book isn’t for you, and you’re after a sweet and loving aesthetic, we recommend the Love Heart Acrylic Photo Block. Your loved ones can relive their fondest memories in a clear frame, sprinkled with hundreds of glittery red hearts. The memento brings a glow of happiness to office spaces and bedside tables for parents and partners alike. 

Thank you photo gifts for help with your health 

When physical or mental health challenges strike, life can feel tough. A supportive friend makes a world of difference. Say thank you to the people who showed you care during tricky times with a photo gift.

A Personalised Photo Card is simple, yet it portrays everything you need to say. Customise the outside of the card with the perfect image and change the text and font for a unique finish. Add a message inside the card to show your appreciation. Ideas include a happy memory, a loving quote, or a note of genuine gratitude. The matte white finish and sturdy material make the card easy for your friend to display or store in a memory box.

Thank you photo gifts for friends and family 

You don’t need a reason to show appreciation for your friends and family — sometimes, you just want to thank your closest people for being the best.

A Photo Book makes an impactful gift to celebrate iconic memories. We have a range of premium photo books, from soft covers to hardcovers. Curate a selection of nostalgic snaps in a scrapbook style or stick to a classic photo book look. Our pre-set layouts make customising your photos a breeze, or you can unlock your creativity with the manual design features. 

Thank you photo gifts… just because 

Have you ever wanted to say thank you to someone… just because? It could be grandparents who give the best hugs or your next-door neighbour who waters your flowers in summer. Whatever the reason, you want to gift something small that expresses how much you value them.

Our customisable Magnet Photo Frames personalise any metal surface, like fridges, radiators, and lockers. Select your favourite photo for a colourful, pocket-sized present that just says, “thank you.”

For avid water-drinkers, a Stainless Steel Water Bottle is an everyday gift with an innovative twist. The insulated steel bottle keeps drinks cool and features a leak-proof, screw-top lid – ideal for keeping by the desk or slipping into rucksacks.
