Shop Personalized Photo Gifts
For a classic keepsake that anyone will love, gift a high-quality photo print. Choose from a range of sizes from classic 4×6 to a slip-in-your-wallet mini print, or take it a step further with a personalized collage that captures your favorite moments together.
One glance at a photo poster can transport a loved one right back to that special captured moment. Thoughtful, personal, and designed by you, these high-quality banners are a simple way to bring joy and nostalgia into any space.
Have an artsy shot that’s worthy of escaping your Instagram feed? A custom canvas print can transform stunning snaps into eye-catching, gallery-worthy art. Choose a full-frame photo for an immersive look, or add graphics for a canvas that feels more personalized.
From a favorite photo to an inside joke, a custom card turns your well wishes into a little keepsake. Plus, with endless designs and themes, you can tailor it to match the style of anyone on your list. It’s a simple, thoughtful addition that’ll make any present feel extra special—before the unwrapping begins.
Trade the punny one-liner mugs that seem to accumulate throughout the year for a custom one. From relaxing vacay shots to hilarious throwbacks, every sip will become a stroll down memory lane for the coffee or tea lover in your life.
What’s a fridge if not a display case for memories? Add some personalized nostalgia to the collection with a custom photo magnet. Bonus: Magnets are ready for same-day pickup at CVS (looking at you, eleventh-hour shoppers).
Picking just one photo can feel like an impossible task (cue the photos app that’s going 10,000 strong). Whether you’re marking an unforgettable trip or the first years of a child, a photo book helps you tell a whole story, all in one place. From start to finish, CVS lets you design a keepsake for your crew to flip through whenever they want. It’s like IRL scrolling.
Avoid ring stains *and* give the gift of nostalgia with personalized coasters, a thoughtful memento for all your friends who love to entertain. Go for a sentimental touch with family photos or get a little cheeky with old memories—either way, they’ll love the individualized flair and the practicality.
If you’re looking to showcase a photo in the most stylish way possible, opt for a floating frame. This sleek design adds a modern, elegant touch to any space. With no bulky frame around it, the minimalist style complements any home aesthetic—and the digital-photo-turned-treasured-keepsake gets all the attention, just as it should.
