So here we are: hello month eleven! This is the time I start thinking about holiday presents, though admittedly much doesn’t get actioned until several weeks from now. I’m mad about giving personal gifts – ones speaking to my mom’s love for entertaining or Ben’s running. It takes such thought and gives such a thrill when I see someone’s eyes light up with excitement as they unwrap something so them.

Enter Snapfish. My husband’s family has been using Snapfish for years to share pictures from holidays, weddings and various vacations with each other and extended family. He first introduced me to them after our very first holiday together: a three-day road trip through Scotland. We started in Edinburgh at The Balmoral and ending happily with long country walks and afternoon tea in front of a roaring fireplace in Isle of Skye. 

As you might imagine, Snapfish offers a host of products to personalize with photos, from albums to calendars to ornaments. I partnered with Snapfish UK to create this sweet personalized coaster set of our travels together, featuring an iconic image from countries we’ve visited. Ben was surprised with them when they arrived, and we had fun matching memories of our trips to the pictures. It’s a thoughtful gift idea – simple to create and arrived within a week of order. Bonus: they’re offering readers 40% off the coasters through 23 November (use the code SFUK436). Wrap the stacked coasters in cellophane so the images are visible, tie with a velvet crimson ribbon and give as an extra gift this year, whether for a holiday party or to add under the tree.
