If you’d like to give Mom the gift of a warm, comfy blanket with a favorite photo, several websites make it possible.

Kodak Gallery has a 40” x 60” fleece blanket for $44.99.  Kodak’s website states that the blanket is 100% polyester, machine washable, and that the image is printed on the entire surface of the blanket.   

I also found two websites that claim to actually weave your photo into the blanket, instead of simply printing the photo.  The sample images from these sites give the impression of creating a higher quality product.  Note that this particular gift is time consuming to create, so you may have to give Mom chocolates or flowers on Mother’s Day, and a promise that the rest of her gift will arrive soon. 

Personal Throws has prices range from $79.99for a small 54" x 38" photo blanket, to $119.99 for an extra large 80” x 54” photo blanket.  Personal Creations also makes available a photo blanket, including a 70" x 54" picture weave afghan for $124.95.

 Although a bit on the expensive side, these are certainly among the more unique photo gifts that I’ve found.

People who have family photos plastered all over the place kinda scare me. It's nice to remember family events and whatnot, but do you really need someone staring back at you every time you drink coffee or move your mouse? Photos on stamps, I suppose if you are going to bombard friends with photocards at holidays, why not add a photo to the stamp as well.

How much of this stuff ends up on display at moms house just cause you're still her child and she doesn't want to hurt your feelings? Like those macaroni pictures and hand-crafted pencil holders you used to make at school? I think the tech gifts for mom were much more practical, assuming she would actually use them.

I don't know if anyone wants to plaster the house with this stuff, and hey, it isn't for everyone, but I think many of these are great "one time" gifts for a mom or grandma. Also, sometimes it just interesting to see what is out there in terms of online retail. I know I was surprised by some of these!

Alright, photo footballs!

I don't even know my mother and I wouldn't be up for that. Also, $15 for a keychain?!
