Photo Mugs are certainly a lot easier to design than photo books, and it’s a gift that your recipient can actually use daily (versus setting it on a shelf).

Mugs are available in various styles, from single photo to collages.  Of course, there’s only so much data that you can fit on a mug, so the collage style can easily become overkill.  So, I’ll look at some single photo styles here.

Walmart has the lowest prices on photo mugs, with their 11 oz. white photo mug priced at $9.42, and their 15 oz. white photo mug priced at $12.42.  Walgreens offers their 11 oz. white mug for $11.99, and their 15 oz. for $14.99. 

Shutterfly has a black photo mug, which holds 11 oz. and sells for $15.99.   Shutterfly also offers a 15 oz mug with a package of hot chocolate mix and five Ghirardelli chocolates for $19.99.

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?!
