Review Detail

Last Christmas I decided to personalize my gifts a bit. I had used Visa Print at works and had seen all of the different items they sell. I thought some of them would make great Christmas gifts for the family if I added a few pictures to them.

I created some:

Delivery took a bit longer than I thought at almost 2 weeks. There was a lot of stuff and Vista Print waited until the full order was completed before sending.  That was fine though as I had ordered right at the beginning of December so I still had enough time to get things wrapped.

It wasn't that expensive either. I saved money this way when compared to what I would have spent at the mall on everyone. It took me longer though personalizing everything. I pretty much spent a full day organizing my photos and figuring out what pictures and text I wanted on each item. I then also had to design everything. The calendar wasn't bad but the T-shirts and mugs took a while. I redid them a few times as it took me a little bit to learn how to use the Vista Print website. There are a lot of options on how to place your photos and the color, size, and fonts for text.

On Christmas I could tell it was well worth the effort. My family loved their gifts. This is something I plan to do again as you get much more enjoyment out of seeing them with a gift I sort of made compared to something store bought.
