Gifting can be tough; especially when you need to stay within a specific price range. Sometimes, you can find the perfect gift for the people closest to you in a pinch. Other times, it’s your Dad’s birthday and you’re stuck between buying a generic gift card or a department store necktie. Neither option is ideal.
When it comes to not knowing what to gift a loved one, you can’t go wrong with a photo gift; especially one that doesn’t break the bank.
Here are some of our favorite gifts that cost less than $30
1. Custom Wine Bottle Labels
Have a friend that moved into a new house, or want to bring a thoughtful gift to your next Christmas party? Creating a custom bottle label to put on the wine or beverage you gift is a thoughtful way to add a personal touch.
2. All About My… Photo Book
These petite photo books make thoughtful gifts for grandparents, parents, and siblings. There might be some smudges and cross-outs along the way, but that’s what makes the book so special.
These photo books can be a bit kid-centric, but that’s what makes them so cute! This fill-in style photo book displays ten photos with prompts about the person. Kids can fill in what they love most about their family or friends.
Photo Magnets Set
Inspired by the big bright sets of letters & numbers we all grew up with, our Photo Magnets Set of 12 is a bit more stylish but just as entertaining.

We equally love the idea of adding an extra special touch to a note for a teacher or a neighbor. Our Cosmopolitan Photo Notepad will be sure to bring a smile to the faces of those special people that help keep your family on track each day.

Bonus: For an additional $10, you can also add a frame to display your photos at the end of each month!
Personalized Photo Card
This one may seem far too simple, but when you can’t find the right message, a photo card can really add that extra thoughtful touch.
So the next time you can’t make it to the party or you want to send a personal thank you, say it with a photo.
You can create a set with 9 unique photos, so you have something special on deck anytime you need a quick last-minute gift. They will appreciate the gesture and the photo can serve as a good conversation starter.
Photo Prints
Anyone else guilty of never swapping out the photos in your frames, like, ever? It me! Give the gift of photo prints to a loved one with a memory you’ve shared together, or maybe photos that have been languishing on their Facebook profile for a while.
5×5 Framed Print
Sometimes gifting a large framed print can be a gamble, especially if you don’t know what would match someone else’s room or walls. Opting for a small and sweet 5×5 framed print can have just as much impact.
These small frames are versatile and can be gifted for teacher appreciation day or a co-worker’s birthday.
