Mini Snapshots bring back the fun of instant film: a 2.85" square image framed by a classic white border, with room at the bottom for names, dates, or a quick note. They're small, affordable, and made for sharing, which makes them one of the easiest gifts of the season. Here are our favorite ways to gift them.

5 Ways to Gift Mini Snapshots

  1. A fun holiday add-on. Offer Mini Snapshots as an easy, inexpensive add-on so clients can share favorites from their session in a fun, nostalgic format.
  2. Slip them into holiday cards. Make Mini Snapshots part of your holiday card offering, so clients can tuck one into every envelope as a little bonus keepsake for family and friends.
  3. Capture the Santa session. The instant-film look is made for kids' sessions. Deliver a few favorites from the visit with Santa that little ones can hold, share, and treasure.
  4. Send seniors off with swaps. Seniors love trading photos with friends, and Mini Snapshots are the perfect size to pass around, tuck into a yearbook, or pin to a locker.
  5. Say thanks with the year in snapshots. Gift each client a small stack of their favorite images from the year as a thank-you that costs little but means a lot.

Presentation Tips

  • Display them in a Magnetic Print Block. Pair a couple of Mini Snapshots with a Mini Snapshot–size Magnetic Print Block. Clients can show off a favorite and swap in a new one anytime.
  • Write on the border. Use the white space at the bottom for names, dates, or a quick handwritten note.
  • Top off the package. Use a Mini Snapshot as a gift tag and attach it to the top of their package or order delivery.
