Personal prints in any form can be a perfect gift for Father’s Day or any other special occasion. With good timing, discount codes and coupons can save you a bundle.
For digital photography enthusiasts especially, Shutterfly.com, CanvasPeople.com and similar sites have fast become essentials for bringing photos to life. I use these sites regularly and appreciate their easy-to-use online interfaces that make putting together professional photo books, canvases, prints, posters, cards, stationary, calendars and dozens of other photo gifts fast and convenient.
For Mother’s Day, Shutterfly was a great source of personal, creative gifts for Mom, Grandma and even Great Grandma. For work, Shutterfly’s 12×12, Custom Path, Lay-Flat, Padded Cover photo book helped us share the story of our nonprofit’s service to Veterans.
My favorite source for saving money at Shutterfly and CanvasPeople is RetailMeNot.com, a site that offers discounts from more than 50,000 stores through codes that are instantly accessible online.
