“We’re giving our customers more meaningful ways to preserve memories from their digital photo albums on social media accounts. Customized photo items and hard cover photo books really bring captured moments to life and make for ideal gifts,” says Wynne Powell, president and CEO of London Drugs.  

Almost half of Canadians asked say they’ll access the web for some of their holiday shopping this year (Bank of Montreal Survey). This growing trend is quickly becoming a holiday tradition as shoppers realize a less time consuming way to select meaningful gifts: ordering customizable gifts online.

“A customized photo gift adds a layer of thoughtfulness and it can commemorate a milestone, special event, or preserve a fond memory.” says Powell. 

Online shoppers can create personalized gifts for even the most hard-to-buy-for individual. Whether it’s for a co-worker, hostess gift, family member or for an exchange between friends, London Drugs’ Photolab offers several customizable gift giving ideas that will make gifts truly unique. 

Personalized Christmas Ornaments: These easy-to-personalize ornaments can include unique details such as a photo, names, special dates and holiday greetings on a variety of ornament shapes. The customized design can be created at a London Drugs Photolab or online at www.londondrugs.com/Photolab. From $6.99.

Photo Gifts: Memories of special moments are one of the greatest gifts we can give anyone. London Drugs offers a range of custom-made photo keepsakes including puzzles, ceramic tiles, jewellery boxes, aprons, t-shirts, pillow cases, mugs and more.  Photos and text can be included on each item.
