I absolutely LOVE Shutterfly. My first experience with the website was when I made the guest book for my wedding in 2012 (you can see a photo of it here). I was so thrilled with the results that I made a book of our engagement pictures and eventually an album of our wedding day photos.
But, Shutterfly isn't bound just to weddings. I have also made custom mugs, magnets, cards, and good ole fashioned prints. I have never been unsatisfied with a project! They have all exceeded my expectations and brought a smile to the face of my recipient.
The only downfall is that Shutterfly can be a bit pricy. But, alas, I have found a few solutions to that problem too!
1. If you sign up for their email list on their website, Shutterfly will send you occasional deals by email (usually once a month).
2. I follow Shutterfly on Facebook. They show up a few times a week on my news feed, nothing annoying, and occasionally a freebie pops up!
3. I also have an account at My Coke Rewards. It's free to sign up and if you drink CocaCola beverages there is no extra cost. Next time you have a Diet Coke look under the cap; that random looking code is a Shutterfly photo book in the making! In my mind, I already bought to soda and now I'm getting something extra! They have a large selection of prizes but my favorite are int he Personalized and Photo section.
Yes, with all these deals you still have to pay shipping but I'm okay with that. For example, I'll use a code to get 12 cards (savings around $13.08 based on design) and pay $4.99 per shipping. It works out to be about $0.42 per card, and that INCLUDES envelopes. You'll never find a Hallmark card for that price, and those don't even have your amazing pictures on them!
I love having personalized photo products in my home and I love giving them as gifts. through my methods, I have been able to do this and stay on a tight budget!
