Father's Day Photo Gift Ideas

With Father's Day fast approaching (June 19th in case you weren't sure) many are trying to find the perfect gift for dad. The requirements for the perfect gift usually include making sure the gift is unique and special, but not too expensive. One type of gift that meets these two requirements is a photo gift. If you've never considered buying your father a photo gift before, then this may seem like a great idea or you may be unsure. Either way, this article will give you useful information about photo gifts for Father's Day, from which photos to choose to different photo gift ideas.

The first step is to decide which photo (or photos depending on the gift you choose) that you want to use. You will want to choose photos that are sentimental, will make him reminisce, and most importantly make him smile! Some ideas for photos include: photos of grandchildren, graduation, newborns, anniversaries, holidays, family portraits, etc.

Once you have several photos to choose from you will need to choose the perfect gift.

Unless you are a professional photographer, chances are you don't know much about mounted photo prints. They are a great way to display photos and are essential if you are making a large print to hang on the wall. Blowing up a photo for dad and mounting it makes a great Father's Day gift that he can display and enjoy forever. Any professional photo printer will have different mounting options to choose from. Popular mounting options include: solid black artboard, easel back, black core gatorfoam board, and masonite.

Canvases make amazing photo gifts as well. Especially canvases made using real photo paper and hand mounted to canvas. If you choose a canvas print, make sure to order it on Metallic Photo Paper to make it even more breathtaking. A colorful photo is particularly stunning on a metallic canvas. If you choose to give your father a canvas print for Father's Day, it will be a special gift that he cherishes forever.

Both photo prints on mounts and canvases come in a variety of sizes from 8x8 to 30x40. These are the two best ways to display large versions of a special photo that will really make an impact on your dad. However, the following are other gifts that he would also enjoy.

A photo in a frame may seem like a less than exciting gift to give your father for Father's Day. However, there are many frames that are one of a kind ways to display a photo on a desk or coffee table. For example, Desktop Swivel Frames are contemporary with black and metal borders. You can put a photo on either side and the frame swivels so that you can easily see the photo on the other side. Magnetic Floating Frames also have photos on either side of the frame that you can easily turn with the touch of your hand. The black frame is suspended between the bottom and top of the base by magnets. This frame is very sophisticated and makes a great accessory in a home or office.

Photo books are a great gift for dad if you have chosen multiple photos. Photo books come in a variety of sizes from small 2x3 books to larger 10x12 photo books. You can also choose from more casual books to books with photos mounted on rigid, solid black pages. Don't underestimate the sentimental value a photo book will have to your father.

Other photo gifts for Father's Day include mousepads and mugs. Mousepads with changeable photos are ideal because you can give your father several photos to insert under the cover of the mousepad. Stainless Steel Travel Mugs make great Father's Day gifts. You can put one or three photos on the outside of the mug and choose between a mug with a handle or one without.

No matter which photo gift you choose, your father is sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness in picking a gift that you uniquely created for him.
