Stickers from your photos… Via How about orange

Picture snow globes can be pretty cheesy, but this snow globe frame from urban outfitters is so cool (and frosty!) – plus it’s only six bucks.

Get your photos made into custom jewelry. [Thanks Jessica!]

Martha and Kodak have teamed up and here’s their first offering: holiday photo cards. I love the faux bois design and this plaid. Haven’t had a chance to check out the rest so have fun browsing.

For the couple who has everything…

I read about cul de sac design on funky finds and I love this custom plate. A great wedding or anniversary gift.

I’m not a big fan of Monopoly (I’m a Scrabble gal at heart). But it might be a bit more fun with a customizable photo-opoly board game.

From Ogg Studio, cool custom photo lunchboxes for your favorite back-to-schooler. Send in a pic and they’ll send you a lunchbox in a week ($35).

There are a lot of places to get a customized bag with your favorite pic on it, but they are often oh so boring. I like these personalized denim bags from pixel girl shop for their hot color contrast stitching and the dark (washable!) denim. Send them a photo, and they’ll make it black and white and use the colors of your choosing to make a bag for $40 for or $48 for two photos. Not bad!

Check out this post over at Modish – have a collage made from your photos over at paper relics.

Jen Smith is a local (western Mass) photographer and jeweler who has combined her talents to make beautiful photo jewelry. I saw some of her pendants and rings this weekend in a shop in Northampton and they are finely hand-crafted works. She also doescustom pieces if you are looking for a unique gift idea. (And check out the pics of her beautiful studio.)

Want a rock-star belt buckle with a photo of your choosing? Barbie’s Basement Jewelry of Toronto will make custom versions of the above buckle as well as their other products and designs (including pendants, rings, pet tags and key rings). (They do ship to the US, too!)

To me, paperweights have always seemed to be of questionable utility and always ended up being just another junky item cluttering up my desk. But as I’m sitting here trying to stave off the mugginess with a super-power fan blasting me, I’m guessing I could use one of them right about now. I found these kits for making paperweights from your photos and the selection of shapes and materials is the best I’ve seen anywhere (and not too pricey, either). The weights come in glass, crystal and acrylic and some of the acrylic styles can also be used to make coasters. The site also has step-by-step instructions for making the paper weights.

This glass ornament/magnet kit ($22 at wrapables) supplies all the materials you need to make three personalized venetian glass magnets or ornaments with your favorite photos, using a laser photocopy of your image to transfer onto each piece of glass. Kit includes Tilano Photo Paper; Foam Brush; Tilano Medium; Tilano Antiquing Paint; Three 2″ x 2″ Glass Ornaments; Tilano Wire; Three Magnets; and all the instructions you need.

Face cake, photo cupcakes, and now photo cookies. Who knew photography could be so yummy?

Personally, I think I am over silhouettes, but I thought I would still write about petite prints and their custom silhouette stationery and paper goods, as these would make great gifts for your relatives (I think my grandmothers’ would have loved them). You send in a profile photo and they turn it into a silhouette and print it on notecards or notepads.

Just saw these frame cards from rosebud design studio over at the always inspiring oh joy!. You can insert a photo into these die cut cards – way more fun than your typical plain vanilla photo cards.

PicPads are shopping lists and notepads with black and white images that are custom made from your photos. (via swiss miss)
