This will be my shameless plug for the season: Bloggers, you can get 50 FREE Holiday Cards from Shutterfly! Check out this awesome deal - totally worth a few minutes of your time and a little space on your blog. Everyone loves FREE right?
I must say that I really do, honestly, love Shutterfly. I have used it for gifts since we had Jaydan early 2008 - particularly the calendars because it's such a great way to photo-journal our year and share it with family. I keep every one after the year has passed so that we can preserve a hard copy of each "year in review" for future viewing - important in our house since everything tends to remain in soft copy, hidden on our computer. I also use Shutterfly for our Chirstmas cards every year to greet our friends and family, wishing them the best for the holiday season and the year to come. It's nice to share an update with a photo of our family with both those that we see often and those we don't see enough. With mainly electronic correspondence these days, it's nice to get something other than a bill via snail mail.
This year I'm LOVING Shutterfly's Story Cards - a quick and easy way to share the highlights of the year plus favorite photos. I'm thinking this will be much more fun than a traditional Christmas letter enclosure. The one that I'm eyeing is called Love 2010 and allows you to bullet point some of the best moments of the year - for us it would include London's birth in June, Jaydan starting preschool and our 6th wedding anniversary. If I really get lazy, Shutterfly will even address and send my cards to my contacts so I don't have to do the legwork - SO awesome for a busy mom. Shutterfly also gets your gifts shipped to you QUICKLY so if you run into a last minute gift need, this is a great personalized way to fulfill.
Enjoy the freebie!!
