vukee Photo Book App Review

I received a camera for Christmas last year, while I love it, I don’t always bring it with me everywhere. I have my phone with me everywhere I go. I take more photos on my iPhone than with my camera. A camera is just another thing to lug around. You never know when you will have a great photo opp. Some of my favorite photos are ones that just happened. I have a photo of Noah in a tree, he just climbed up in it and looked like the king of the world. He was so proud that he did it all by himself. I would have missed that moment if I would have relied on bringing my camera. I have over 1,000 photos on my iPhone. I have some great shots but I don’t want to keep them on my phone for forever. I learned about an app called vukee. You can make beautiful photo books, postcards and calendars right from the app! You don’t even have to mess with getting online and dealing with your computer.  A photo book from vukee would be a great holiday gift for a loved one. It would be a very sweet way to show your family how your children have grown. You could also make a photo book for your vacation. What would be cooler than sitting at the airport, waiting for your flight home and already have your photo book made? Talk about easy. I am always sitting bored in airports after a fun trip. It only takes two minutes, so you can really make your photo book, calendar or postcards anywhere, even while waiting at the checkout.

You could make a special calendar for grandparents. One of my favorite gifts I received was a photo calendar of Noah. Skip the premade kittens and puppies calendars, make one that means something and isn’t just cute. Every month is a new photo. You can even order postcards. Personalized post cards would be great for holiday cards, birth announcements, Save the date reminders or just because cards. I love that they ship anywhere in the world. My dad lives in England and it would be a great gift for him to send a photo book of Noah. I send him some pictures through email but then he has to print them. I love that vukee takes care of shipping them out. I don’t like going to the post office, and our little post office doesn’t have the same services as the big one. The post office is usually a zoo anyways this time of year.  

I have ordered photo books in the past and it took weeks to be printed and then longer to ship. Did you know that vukee prints within 72 hours? That is really fast and off it goes to you or your loved one.  No more wondering and waiting for your photos to be printed. I love the free ePhotobook you get for every order. You can share it via email, Facebook and Twitter. What an easy way to share your photos with everyone without having to send them all a printed book.  I love looking at my friends photos on Facebook and Twitter.  All of the products are extremely affordable too! Photo books start at $7.99. If you were to order other places they are usually twenty five dollars.  There are over 8 different layouts to create your own custom design, from classic to modern. vukee is also offering users both a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee, and up to 60% discount on their first photo book.

For more information please visit vukee’s website.

You can find the vukee app in iTunes.

It is also available in Google Play.

Make Custom Canvas Prints with SnapBox

I have a confession. I have been living in Florida since July and I have yet to hang up any pictures. I can't believe I haven't done it yet. I keep eying the canvas prints that everyone seems to have. I think they are really cool. I also take a lot of pictures on my iPhone because I don't go anywhere without my phone. I have a few really amazing pictures of Noah that I would absolutely love to make in to canvas prints. Canvas prints are so cool because they are different than just framed photos. I had looked in to a couple different websites in the past but never actually ordered something. They seem to be so expensive and since I am a mom on a budget I need something affordable.I had the opportunity to check a service called SnapBox. SnapBox is really cool because you can use it to order canvas prints from your phone. My computer is kind of old and slow so I spend a lot of time on my phone. I love that SnapBox is do easy that I can lie in bed or be out and order. I can also use those perfect moments where Noah is doing something cool.

We do a lot of stuff on the fly and I don't always bring along my camera. You can also send the photo from your computer or Instagram. As I said before price is very important to me, you can get a museum quality print for affordable prices. You can't even get dinner for ten dollars now. I love how easy SnapBox is, it is a snap. You can also choose from five different sizes. Snap the photo, order the canvas print and have it in several days. The canvas prints also come in high quality frames. The fact that it comes in a frame help protects the print and makes hanging a breeze.

You can either order from SnapBox on their website or through email.

To get started using SnapBox, here are the easy steps:

 *Email a photo to SnapBox@SnapBoxez.com –put whatever you want in subject line, e.g. photo for Lisa (you can send a photo from your smartphone, Instagram or from your computer.)

 *You will receive an email back from SnapBox with an ordering form that you click on to select your preferred size.(Also, make sure to add SnapBox@SnapBoxez to your contacts so it doesn’t get stuck in your spam folder.)

*Add it to the cart and you are ready for checkout.

 I love to look at people's photos in their homes. Let your memories last for a lifetime with a beautiful canvas print from SnapBox.

Kodak Gallery Review

Two things I love about the holidays are the food and family. I also love to take pictures of my loved ones, especially my adorable son, Noah. I wanted to share with you a promotion on the Kodak Gallery website where you can take your pictures and put them in books. No bulky albums and pictures falling out after it stops sticking. My Grandma liked to write on the backs of her pictures, so pictures were taken out of albums over and over again to see who is in the picture or when it was taken. Her albums were in poor shape by the time everyone looked through them so many times. They even have something called SmartFit Technology that helps you create the best photo book possible. It makes it easier to arrange your photos in order, and add extra touches that make your photos just pop.

You can also make a recipe book on the Kodak Gallery Website of all your favorite Thanksgiving or Holiday foods. I know when I look at cookbooks, I love looking at the delicious photos of the food. Also if you are giving this as a gift, it will help the recipient with presentation and if it is a dip with assembly. I think that this is an easy and affordable gift. I remember when I was in first grade, my class made cookbooks for our moms for Mother’s day. My mom still has the cookbook my class made her, granted none of the recipes are actually makeable, it was more for the cute factor. It would have been nicer if it was made from Kodak Gallery and not just stapled printed pages.

I think it would be a smart gift for grandmothers to give their daughters and granddaughters with their special recipes. You can order as many copies as you want so, you can sit down once and mark off many people off your list at once. Every Grandma, Grandmother, Nana, Gram, Grammy and G-ma whatever you call yours has their own recipes. Then those books can be passed through the years to their children someday.

They also have free shipping on orders of $30 or more by using the coupon code SHIP30

I received a gift card from Kodak to check out the website and create my own book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
