Handmade gifts

Personalised gifts from Cheerz

Next month my mum celebrates her 75th birthday. She’s already had her big present from us, we gave her 2 First Class tickets for the Dartmouth Express so she could enjoy afternoon tea on the steam train. She’s organised a family party in December so I thought I would make some personalised decorations for the party venue.

I wanted to make something she could keep after her party was over and decided to print out a selection of photos of the family. They included black and white photos of her and her parents and grandparents, as well as her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A few days ago a lovely box turned up.

I ordered La Boîte À Photos from Cheerz, who specialise in printing photographs, and a little kit arrived with 40 square photos, string, washi tape and pegs to hang them.

You can upload your photos from Instagram, Facebook, Google+, Flickr or Dropbox which makes it easy to print any of your photos from your favourite social accounts.

I found the site was easy to use and you can crop your photos to make sure the right bit is printed, important when you want to print your precious photos.

I loved looking through my photos and I am really pleased with the box of prints. The string and pegs mean I can create a really fun little display. I’m going to hang it up and I know my mum will love it and they’ll make a great talking point at her party.

I also ordered some cute photo Strips, reminiscent of an old Photo Booth strip. This time I used more recent photos from my Instragram stream to create bookmarks for the children which they loved!

If you fancy trying out a Cheerz box for yourself, which consists of 30 beautiful, retro-style prints of your favourite photos from Instagram, Facebook or your computer. Just use my special code JENBUH on the Cheerz website and you will get £4 off and I will get a £4 credit!
