Transform Your Instagram Snaps into Magnets with a Click of a Button

I'm going to sing the praises of Sticky 9 this evening. I shared their service with you a few years ago, but with Christmas approaching and stocking filler ideas needed, I thought it was a good time to tell you about them again.

You simply sign into your Instagram account from the Sticky 9 website, and their magnet making wizard allows you to pick which of your photos you want made into a sheet of nine magnets. 

It really is SO easy and each sheet of nine costs £9.99 and worldwide shipping is free. There is also a high quality print service, and a reusable sticker making option. They've also added the option to make your Instagram photos into phone cases, or tablet covers. These would make lovely presents at Christmas for relatives.

There's no long wait involved either, as of this post in early October, turnaround from ordering to receiving was just two days. Here are my lovely magnets. My fridge is now like a big, metal photo album.

The print quality is superb. Also in magnet form it's a lot easier to keep them safe than lots of printed out photos on paper.

A nice idea for this Christmas would be to maybe take a photo the day your Christmas tree goes up with your kids in front of it, then order a repeat print of that in magnet form and slip one in with each Christmas card you send to family members.

For The Man Who Has Everything: His Own Personalised Man Cave Wooden Sign

My husband has a Man Cave, does your's? His current Man Cave is a little box room just off our living room at the back of the house. In there he keeps all his band stuff, guitars, amps, pedals, dozens of CDs catalogued on shelves, and a whole diorama of 1970s' Star Wars figures. It's where he goes to write music, or just have some man 'me time'.  

When we move house soon, he will have a whole double shed at the bottom of the garden, wired with electric. A palace of a Man Cave. So when Treat Republic offered me the chance to review their personalisation service, and I saw the Man Cave wooden hanger, it was a must get. 

For £14.99 you can personalise the sign with a name, and hobbies.

There is a wealth of high quality personalised gifts to choose from for everyone in the family.

I also picked up a little something for myself on Treat Republic. This iPhone Duo Lens is a simple attachment that gives your iPhone photos either a close up macro option, or a wide angle, fish-eye effect look.  Great fun for videos too.

For Those Who are Expecting, In Love, Suffering Man-Flu, or even just Hung-over: You Need a Sick Note

This is such a World of Kitsch service, I just love it. Sick Note is a personalised gift service with packages of goodies to get your loved ones better. 

You can choose a themed pack, such as the expectant mother, or bearded man packs, or you can put together a bespoke selection of gifts by hand from the treats available. 

The gorgeous cloth bags can be with your recipient within 3 hours of purchase, if they live in central London. Same day delivery applies to the rest of London, and elsewhere in the UK is 48 hours. Packs like the Hangover one they sent me, would be great to give a hen or stag before they head off for a crazy weekend. Visit Sick Note for a nosy,
