Is it just me, or are Walmart and Walgreens using the same printer for their photo calendars?

This reminds me of the time in 2004 when Dell and Gateway both used royalty free photos of the same model from the same photo shoot for their back-to-school ads.  Not surprisingly, both Walmart and Walgreens offer 8.5” x 11” and 11.5” x 14” calendars (Walmart also offers a 12” x 12” version).  Both companies also offer 12 and 18 month calendars, and the ability to customize selected dates (such as a child’s birthday), with a photo.  What is a little surprising is that Walmart’s 8” x 11.5” 12 month calendar sells for $16.84, while the same calendar at Walgreens sells for $19.99. 

If you’d like a wider selection of photo calendars, check out Vista Print, which offers desk calendars, poster calendars, wallet calendars, and refrigerator magnet calendars.

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?!
