Hot take: there’s nothing better than gifting. After all, it’s a joyful sign that your life is full of people you love, and that they’re doing things — having birthdays, getting married, giving birth, graduating from schools and moving to new places — that are worth celebrating.
You’re not alone if you sometimes leave gift shopping to the last minute. That’s where CVS Photo comes in. They make it easy to design, order, and pick up thoughtful, personal presents within 24 hours. And they have 7,500 locations nationwide, so you’re never far from your next happy tear-inducing gift. Here are some of our favorites…
A mug that makes morning coffee extra special…
A mug is that rare vessel that almost everyone uses every day — at a time (the morning) when they could use a pick-me-up, no less. With CVS Photo, you can design your own mug or use a template (we’re particular fans of this too-cute Halloween option). Whatever you choose, it’s sure to make your giftee smile on the regular.
A hanging canvas that adds a textural touch to their decor…
This unique photo display design works equally well for a beautiful landscape, a staged portrait, or a joyful candid. The photo is printed edge-to-edge on the canvas, and natural poplar wood planks frame it at the top and bottom. Even better: The hanging cord makes this supremely easy to put up.
A wall tile to help them decorate…
Have a loved one who’s moving into a new space? Here’s just the thing. Whether they’re starting fresh in a new apartment, a new house, or a new office, these simple, stylish tiles are an easy way to make it feel like home. Get them one to use as a centerpiece, or choose a few and gift them a ready-made gallery wall.
A framed canvas that deserves the spotlight…
Maybe you’ve got the perfect shot from a special event like a wedding or retirement party. Maybe you captured a beloved location at golden hour. Whatever the image, this is a special way to share it. These midsize 11x14 canvas prints have sleek folded corners and come ready to hang with saw-toothed hangers on the back. Get them in landscape or portrait, and wrap with a bow.
A folded card to make your message extra special…
These beautiful cards, made from heavyweight 110 lb. stationary quality stock, are perfect for creating invitations or announcements. But why not use them for individual gifting, too? Choose a photo of you and your giftee, add a personal note, and suddenly the card has gone from an afterthought to a treasured keepsake that they’ll look back on for years to come.
A photo book to catalog all your memories together…
Photo books don’t have to be reserved for major life events. You could create a book of photos of you and your giftee over the years; pick a trip you took together and gather all the images; use it to share the artistic shots you’ve taken; or document a specific span of time — a year with your favorite co-worker, for example, or the months your child spent with a special caregiver. With CVS Photo photobooks, you can customize your layouts and even add text to create a narrative.
A metallic poster to get the party started…
If you have someone you’re celebrating and want to shout it loud, you could hardly do better than a metallic poster. This 11x14 option is printed on high-quality poster paper, and the finish offers a glossy, iridescent shine. It works beautifully as a framed gift or as vibe-enhancing party decor.
A tumbler to make their on-the-go days more fun…
For a giftee who is on the go, choose a custom tumbler. There are templates a-plenty (we love this ribbon gallery if you’re going for festive, or this sweet romantic design), or you can customize your own. These are high quality, too; they’re double walled insulated stainless steel to keep drinks hot or cold, and, at 22 ounces, hold enough liquid to last all day.
A magnet that will remind them of you whenever they reach for a snack…
As gifts, magnets are underrated. Everyone needs them (how many save the dates do you have on your fridge, and are your current magnets supporting them?), they double as decor, and they can offer little smiles throughout the day. These ones are strong, durable, and — at 2x2 inches — the perfect bite-sized way to show your love.
