Online photo printing service Qoop has added photo wrapping paper to their list of products. The list was already quite long and included calendars, mugs, wooden puzzles, posters, greeting cards and more. Now you can wrap the photo mug you bought in the photo wrapping paper you made. How very meta.
An update to my post about Qoop now offering postcards. The fine people at Qoop emailed to let me know that while supplies last they're offering a free postcard, mailed anywhere in the world for Flickr, Photobucket and Facebook users. How cool is that? Hurry, cause you don't want to be one of those people who says "I coulda been a contender had a free postcard made from one of my photographs.
Last month I said "While stickers are very cool and I can come up with several cool uses for them what I really want Moo to start making are post cards. I'd love to take some of my shots and turn them into nice, solid post cards. Is that on the agenda Moo people?." Turns out Moo has not stepped up to the plate to fill that void but Qoop has.
We've discussed the very cool Moo cards and notecards before. Now they've stepped up their game and are now producing stickers. While stickers are very cool and I can come up with several cool uses for them what I really want Moo to start making are post cards. I'd love to take some of my shots and turn them into nice, solid post cards. Is that on the agenda Moo people?
Flickr partner Moo has just launched a new product, NoteCards.
NoteCards - square prints made from your own photos or designs. They have a magic flap on the side, to make them stand up proudly on your mantel, bookshelf or window sill, and are perfect for mailing to friends.
I love sending and receiving real mail. Can't wait to design some of these and integrate them into my stationery rotation. 16 cards cost $24.99 US.

Sometimes a framed family picture is just too simple. When you really want to mix it up have a personalized Rubik's cube made from your photos.
This authentic version of the popular Rubik's Cube displays up to six of your photos, one for each side. Each photo is divided into nine 3/4" individual squares. Comes imprinted with the official Rubik's logo. Black, six-sided, plastic cube measures 2 1/4" sq.
Photo Coasters? I know, sounds lame. They're neater than they sound though, well they're an interersting way to display family photos at the least. Actually I think these, filled with grandkid and family photos, would make a pretty cool holiday gift for family members.
Always excellent fototiller points out a very cool frame for winter (yes winter is on it's way, it was 30F when I walked my dog this morning) from Urban Outfitters.
Forget those boring snowy scenes in regular snow globes. This snow globe is totally DIY - ready for you to create whatever winter wonderland you want. You simply unscrew the bottom and put your own pictures inside (of your friends, your mom, your dog, your records... whatever you want). Close it back up, shake it like crazy and watch the glittery snow start swirling! Imported. Wipe clean.
Lunchboxes cost $35, ship within a week and for an extra $10 you can have pictures on both sides of the box.
This simple but very good project from Anh-Minh gives you a very large, very impressive photo display for any wall. Materials include double sided tape, photos, screws, a drill, wall anchors, two people and um specially cut pieces of plexi-glass. OK maybe it's a tiny bit complex but still very cool for the adventurous DIY-ers among us.
