Things to Keep in Mind When Personalising Gifts with Images

Decide romantic or practical when it comes to gifting
Would your boyfriend appreciate a romantic gift or one that he can use everyday? Both are good ways of showing how much you appreciate him but depending on the type of person he is, he might receive a romantic or practical gift better than the other. Figure out which he would prefer and gift accordingly.

Make sure you have high resolution photos
If your gift involves photos make sure that you use high resolution pictures with good quality. Even though some photos may look fine while viewing them on a phone or tablet, sometimes when printing them out, especially if you have to enlarge them, the photos might not come out right.

Pick a budget and stick to it
Keep a budget in mind while you're picking out a gift. It achieves nothing to empty your account, especially if you're going for a romantic gift rather than a practical one. The best gifts don't always have to be the most pricey ones. People always react better to thoughtful gifts than simply expensive ones. Thoughtful gifts show how much time and effort you spent into showing them how much they are appreciated. Expensive gifts just make it seem like you're throwing money at a problem till it goes away.

Gifts you can make at home
You don't always have to buy him something as a gift, making something at home is perfectly acceptable as well. At the end of this article we've mentioned some DIY projects you can do at home that can serve as some wonderful gifts.

DIY Distressed Photo Block

Source viewfromthefridge.com

Make a Distressed Photo Block with pictures of your choosing easily at home. This is quite simple to do but will require some time and a little bit of patience.

Distressed Photo Block

You will need:

A scarp block of wood with dimensions of your choosing. Choose a 8 x 10 in. block if you have no idea how large you want it to be. You'll definitely be able to find this at a carpentry or hardware store for cheap. If they don't have one readymade you can simply just ask them to cut you one.
Two paints of different colours. One will be your primary colour and the other will be the secondary colour that'll be seen on the distressed parts.
Mod Podge Matte Finish Glue and a brush to apply it, both of which can be ordered from Amazon for cheap.
Photos you want to use. Go black and white if you want a more retro look but make sure they're of good quality regardless.
Printed out messages you'd like to add
Upholster tacks that are once again, easily purchased from a hardware store or Amazon
Vaseline
Sandpaper

Steps:

Sand the edges of the block to make it look more worn like old scrap.
Paint the parts you want the distressed look to be with your secondary colour(If you're confused just pick gray acrylic paint).
Once the secondary colour is dry apply vaseline on the parts you've painted so that your primary colour won't stick to it as well as the edges and corners.
Paint the top of the block with your primary colour. Use two coats of spray paint for a quick job but other types of paint will work as well(Use white if you're unsure of what colour to use).
Now sand the places you had applied vaseline to and the primary paint will fall off revealing the secondary paint underneath giving it the required distressed look.
Cut down your pictures and messages to the required size.
Apply the mod podge glue generously across the top of the block. Stick the pictures and messages and leave it to dry.
Apply two more coats of the Mod Podge over the photos and leave it to dry to give it that matte finish.
Stick the upholstery tacks on the corners of the pictures and messages.
Wrap it up and gift.

Use a few, carefully chosen images

A few pictures that hold special memories is better than a whole bunch of haphazard images. Depending on how often the two of you take pictures, you'd have a few or many to choose from. Avoid the ones that either of you have used as wallpapers or shared on social media; dig around to find a special few that he may have never seen or which evoke a great memory. These will have a far bigger impact than a whole bunch of puckered selfies.
