Ceramic Ornaments

My goal was to post once a week, but with the holidays around the corner I decided to step it up.  Did you know Zazzle sells personalized ceramic ornaments?  I ordered one with my son's baby photo on it:

 
 
Here is the product page so you can compare:
 

The product page says 2.87 inches but I didn't realize how big that was until I got it. I placed a quarter next to the ornament so you can gauge its size.  The colors are more vibrant than the product page, it turned out really nice.   The product page also shows the ornament hanging from a cord.  Just FYI the ornament did not come with one, but that's an easy fix.  Just find a nice red ribbon and hang it up.   

I also took a photo of its thickness so you can see:

 
I include this photo because I was under the impression that the ornament would have sharp edges.  Not that I wanted one, but from the product page photos it's hard to tell. 
 
As with all Zazzle products you can personalize the ornament. I chose to keep it simple and have the year 2008 when my son was born.  But you can have much more on your ornament.  Just check out these other designs to see what Zazzle has to offer:

Zazzle Personalized Custom Gift Wrap

Zazzle recently introduced a new product - gift wrap.  With the holidays around the corner this has become a popular product.  Who wouldn't be tickled to see photos of their baby, family or pets on a gift wrap?  It's so much fun!  Of course I couldn't resist buying a roll.  I've always admired the artwork of Lucia Salemi and she put her colorful designs on gift wrap.  As soon as I found out I placed an order. Here is the product page and my photos so you can compare:

As you can see from the photo above, the gift wrapping paper comes in a sturdy cardboard tube.  I just bought the regular wrap but you can also order a linen or photo gloss paper.  Other designers have come up with beautiful designs where you can place your photos:

Zazzle recently had a fifty percent off sale, if you sign up for their email list you can be notified of the next one. Overall I love the gift wrap, it adds a nice personal touch to gifts.  Be sure you order as soon as you can, with the busy holiday season it can take 5-7 business days to produce and another few days for shipping.

Zazzle 4 x 8 Photo Cards

Welcome to my blog.  I'm a designer for Zazzle and thought it would be helpful show you real photos of their products.  Sometimes it's hard to tell what you're getting when you look at the computer screen. 

My first product review will be the photo cards.  Zazzle offers them in a 4 x 8 inch size.  I always wondered how they compared to the drugstore variety.  So I ordered a set (minimum order is 10), and I really liked the results.  I like the thickness of the card, it's not flimsy in the least.  I also like the glossiness (if there is such a word).  The price is very reasonable at around a dollar per card, sometimes Zazzle has a 50% off sale so it becomes a really good deal.  Be sure to sign up and receive their emails so you can take advantage of their sales.

The design I ordered was one of my very own.  It's a simple Christmas Nativity silhouette against a dark blue background. 

Below is the product link as well as the photos I took so you could get a close-up.








Zazzle has excellent designers, check out some of these other photo cards for the holidays:
