Why we’re swapping texts for printed photos this Valentine's

Sending an instant message or DM is a great way to keep up with your friends and loved ones. For memes, check-ins, and making plans, firing a quick text is perfect. But it doesn’t exactly scream romance.


So, if you want to send someone a bit of love this Valentine’s Day, here’s why we’re all about photo prints as tokens of affection. Read on to find out how personalised photo gifts can make your partner or besties’ day on the 14th of Feb.
Why photos beat DMs every time
The beauty of the DM is that your message is sent immediately. Often, you can even see exactly when the recipient reads it. But that instant gratification doesn’t last, especially when it comes to showing love.


A few more message exchanges, and your lovely sentiment is lost in the scroll. Text messages are fleeting. A printed photo is an IRL gift they can hold, display, and look back on whenever they like.
Last-minute love
No judgement here, we’ve all been there. That sinking feeling when you realise Valentine’s Day is coming up fast and you haven’t got your partner a present yet. What are your options? You could dash to the shops and grab something nice but, let’s face it, it’s generic. What if you’re in a long-distance relationship and need to post a gift? It might be tempting to stick with a message and keep things low-key.


But this is exactly where photo gifts can make all the difference. With our photo printing online service, they’ll never know your sentiment was somewhat last-minute. You can order photo prints, wall art, or personalised homeware with speedy delivery in four working days. Get them sent to you for wrapping or order directly to your giftee’s address.


If you’re in even more of a time constraint, don’t panic. Reach for an instax™ camera or Link printer, and you’ll have instant personalised photo gifts at your fingertips. Take a snap on your instant camera to document Valentine’s Day itself or use your instant smartphone printer to choose the most romantic moments from your camera reel.
A single photo can say it all… Here’s how
You know they say a little goes a long way? Well, this is certainly true when it comes to photos. A single image can instantly conjure those warm, fuzzy feelings. It might be a throwback to your first date, a funny selfie of the two of you, or the moment you said “I do”.


With your one photo, you can showcase what makes your relationship unique and special. And because it’s just the one picture, it really shines a spotlight on a favourite moment.


Wondering how to gift your single image? Here are a few ideas:
1. The morning wake up
What could be better than waking up to find a lovable reminder of your relationship?


Is your significant other the kind of person who can’t function without a morning cuppa? You could pop a photo print on your partner’s pillow when they go to make the coffee. Or why not prop a picture up on the dressing table or stick one to the bathroom mirror for them to find when they brush their teeth?


Our Retro Photo Prints are ideal for adding a bit of charm and whimsy to your best moments. Choose from an array of sizes, ranging from 4”x4” to 8”x8”.
2. The workplace surprise
Will your giftee be working on Valentine’s Day? You could tuck a photo print into their bag for a surprise that’s sure to brighten their day.
Alternatively, let an instax™ mini print bring the love. These pack a whole lot of fun into a credit card-sized print that’s perfect for tucking inside a phone case or wallet. What’s more, with so many designs to choose from, you can find the perfect style to match your partner’s personality. Our favourite options for Valentine’s Day include:


  • instax mini™ Heart Sketch Instant Film: Nothing evokes the core of Valentine’s Day more than lovehearts. So go full romance with this adorable instax mini™ heart print film

    • .
  • instax mini™ Monochrome Instant Film: For ultimate sophistication, you can’t beat the instax mini™ Monochrome film sheets. These showcase your memories in effortlessly stylish black and white, ideal for photos from glam occasions.

  • instax mini™ Rainbow Instant Film: If you’re gifting to the life and soul of the party, the instax™ mini Rainbow film design delivers the ideal burst of colour and character.
    • 3. Snacktime memories
    Another way you can sneakily add a pop of romance to the day is to display your chosen photo on the fridge. Next time your recipient goes to grab a drink or a snack, they’ll have an ‘aww’ moment. Make it extra mushy with a handwritten note tucked underneath!


    Bonus: A handy magnet can go on to hold shopping lists, drawings from the kids, or ‘MUST NOT FORGET’ memos. Our Magnetic Photo Frames are available in 4”x4” or 6”x4” dimensions.
    4. Make a statement
    If you’re feeling big and bold, print your favourite couple’s memory on a Premium Canvas Print. From 10”x8” to 30”x24”, there are loads of sizes to choose from, so you can find the ideal option for your wall space.


    Our canvas prints let your photos shine in vibrant contrast, whether it’s a snap from a special occasion or an everyday moment of your partner doing something you find endearing.
