Great Coach gift choices at Walmart Photo Centre site.

I have to confess that when it comes to thinking of teacher or coach gifts, I usually struggle to find something practical, affordable and meaningful. I’m loving the options out there lately for using photos to make amazing gifts that teacher and coaches will for sure LOVE. This time, I explored the Walmart Photo Centre site for ideas and found EXACTLY what I was looking for…a stainless steel travel mug personalized with the team photo for the Blue Lightening. I’m so excited for my daughter to be able to give it to her soccer coach at the end of the season party. I have to say it’s tempting to get on for my daughter and her best friend too for the tea they both have been drinking lately in celebration of a great season. Maybe I’ll think about it for a Christmas gift…

Personalized recipe book for the aspiring chef

My 10 year old daughter all of the sudden has taken an interest in cooking. So much so that she opened a backyard “restaurant” this summer, complete with carefully designed menus, fancy tables and an order window. She and her friend even wandered the neighborhood with tickets to hand out to perspective diners.

So when a blogger friend asked me if I would make a video “how-to” of the recipe book option from
Sam’s Club I had an idea. I pulled out an book my mom had put together for me of passed down recipes and decided to make a personalized recipe book for my daughter complete with photos of her. Check it out…

It was super fun and easy to make. I hope they consider more choices of designs in the future but the one there is really cool

Cool personal calendar for the kids.

I’m finally getting to creating a custom calendar for my kids on the Sam’s Club photo center site. I started with my sons as you can see here…

I love the personalizing I could do, not just with photos but with text too! I added test throughout the year for birthdays, school vacations, school events, etc. It’s going to be awesome to have the kids be able to track things they want to remember!

Here’s a quick glimpse of the text adding feature…
