Custom photo cards

Photo sites like Shutterfly, Kodak and Snapfish do all the heavy lifting for you — just pick a design, upload your photo and type a message. What’s more, all these sites will print and mail your cards directly to your loved ones. Prices average $2.50 per card, plus tax, postage and a small handling fee.

With the popularity of custom photo books seeming to explode more every season, sites are offering even more selection in themed books tailored to Halloween, family recipes, baby's first year and many more. On Shutterfly, you can even create a personalized story book for kids, putting their name and photos alongside Sesame Street characters like Elmo and Big Bird ($39.99).
