Some of the best gifts come together at the last minute. Magnetic Print Blocks pair a favorite 5×7" print or Mini Snapshot with natural bamboo and ultra-clear acrylic, and built-in magnets make swapping images take seconds. With a 1–2 day turnaround, they're an easy yes right up to the holiday deadlines. Here are our favorite ways to gift them.

7 Ways to Gift Magnetic Print Blocks

  1. Show off this year's holiday card. Offer a 5×7" block to holiday card clients so their card stays on display all season. Come January, they can swap in a favorite print from the session.
  2. Add it to the final print order. Magnetic Print Blocks make an easy add-on when delivering last-minute prints from recent sessions, turning a stack of prints into a ready-to-gift display.
  3. Say thanks with a Mini Snapshot. Starting at $24, a Mini Snapshot block makes a sweet client thank-you gift that fits on any desk or bedside table.
  4. Capture the Santa session. Deliver a favorite from your Santa session in a block clients can bring out every December, then swap in each new visit to watch the kids grow year after year.
  5. Make one for the grandparents. Clients can give a block to the grandparents with a favorite image from the session, plus a few extras to swap in as the year goes on.
  6. Show off the pets. A favorite pet portrait in a Mini Snapshot block is a fun gift for pet lovers.
  7. Thank the wedding party. Couples can give each bridesmaid and groomsman a block featuring a favorite moment from the big day.

Presentation Tips

  • Gift it ready to display. Place their favorite print under the acrylic before delivering their order, so the block is ready for the shelf the moment it's opened.
  • Tuck in a few extras. Include a couple of extra prints in the box so clients can try a swap right away.
  • Show both sizes in person. Keep a 5×7" block and a Mini Snapshot block on display at your studio or bring them to ordering appointments, so clients can compare sizes and try a swap themselves.

What to Order

The 5×7" Magnetic Print Block is our most popular size and the perfect fit for a favorite portrait or this year's holiday card. Pair it with a 5×7" Photo Print or Fine Art Print, plus a few extras to swap in all year.
