Photo Bag Gifts

Thinking of inexpensive, creative gifts is usually a difficult thing for many people to do. However, the ability to come up with an appropriate gift for many occasions can be the difference between a good relationship and a great one. Photo bags are especially great gifts because they are very versatile; you can use them similarly to baskets as a base for very diverse gifts. Plus everyone uses bags for carrying necessities, sports equipment, business, or gym paraphernalia. Adding a photo to the bag makes it even more personal. Here are some gift ideas for men for just about any occasion.

Many men agree, "Creating a gift bag for a man can be simple and should revolve around things that many men like." For example, sports. Most guys have a favorite sport or hobby they like to indulge in. For my dad, football is his sport of choice. He even bought my mom a cable deal that included every football game for the season. Putting together a photo bag for him I might include things like a universal remote, snacks, a book or DVD about the history or trivia about his favorite team. Team apparel like a shirt or hat would be a good inclusion. Of course, the picture on the bag itself can fit right into the theme as well. Perhaps that family photo of us all wearing our team's jerseys or of him and my mom at a football game. See how easy it is to customize a photo bag for a sport's enthusiast?

But perhaps your guy doesn't like sports. What kind of hobbies or interests does he have? My brother enjoys grilling pretty much year round so for him I would put together a grilling gift bag. After choosing a barbeque or picnic related photo for the bag I would fill it with different kinds of barbeque sauce with a basting brush, maybe a cookbook, or some grilling tools.

Every photo bag should have a clear theme. You could even use this idea for a couple. Instead of filling the photo bag for one person's interests, put a picture of the two of them on the front of the bag and then choose an activity they can do together. Whether you put a couple movies and microwave popcorn in the bag, a can of tennis balls, towels, and map to the nearest tennis court, or a game of nature bingo, bottle of wine, and two glasses to be enjoyed on a romantic walk; the key to a successful photo bag gift is creativity.
