Fancy having your favourite memories on display 24/7? Custom gifts have become increasingly popular due to their personalisation, convenience, and practicality.
At MyFujifilm, we don’t believe there should ever be a limit on how you can share or present your memories, so our personalised homeware gifts range gives you the option to gift or receive your favourite snaps in an aesthetic yet practical way.
Make your memories more than something to just look at, and help them serve a bigger purpose. Photo homeware gifts are a great way to turn your day-to-day tasks into a moment of happiness and nostalgia.
Today we’ll take a closer look at a few of our custom photo homeware gifts, and share a few tips on how to keep them looking as good as new.
Mugs have been a go-to personalised gift for a long time, and we like to think we’ve perfected how to take the best care of a photo mug over the years. Here are our top tips for keeping your photos clear and vibrant with every sip.
All of our photo mugs feature a Duraglaze coating meaning you can put them in the dishwasher, however, the combination of high temperatures and strong detergents can cause the image to fade quicker than with gentle hand washing. For this reason, we always suggest hand-washing as the best option.
Linen is a natural and light fibre, adding to their whimsical and cosy appeal. However, due to the nature of the fabric, it’s also very delicate so harsh washing can damage the fabric and your chosen image.
We’d suggest washing your linen placemats and coasters in a cold wash with a gentle laundry detergent over using a washing machine for this reason. If you have to use a washing machine, use the most gentle cycle on the coldest setting and place your coasters and placemats in a mesh bag to protect them. Don’t use any bleach or fabric softeners as you would with your day-to-day clothes — this could damage the fabric and the print.
When it comes to drying your linen coasters and placemats, you must dry them properly to reduce the risk of shrinking, fading or cracking. Always do this on a flat and clean surface and only ever iron when necessary using the lowest heat and a piece of cloth or parchment over the print to protect it.
Our Framed Photos are available in portrait or landscape layouts and in a range of sizes. Choose your frame colour to suit your home’s decor — select from sleek black, warm oak, or crisp and modern white. This allows you to create a cohesive and stylish display that complements your interior design while celebrating your child's educational milestones.
Each of our pocket-sized Framed Photo Magnets is printed on FUJIFILM Original Photographic Paper for vibrant colour reproduction. You can choose a set of magnets featuring the same photo — ideal for sharing end-of-school memories with your child’s grandparents and other family members — or use a different photo for each magnet. This can be a great option for families with multiple children. These magnets are not only functional but also a fun way to keep memories in sight, adding a personal touch to your home environment.
High-quality printing ensures that the photo remains clear and vibrant, even after multiple washes, making these mugs a practical and heartwarming addition to your daily routine. To get the best results from your design, take a look at our top tips for creating a personalised mug.
Our Mini Photo Books are another great choice. Petite yet perfectly formed, these square photo books are designed with a lay-flat binding, making it convenient to peruse your pictures. They’re just as easy to put together, too — you can even design your photo book on your smartphone!
From photo block to photo books, our collection is here to help you display your child’s school pictures over the years.
