Reader woodlawngirl recently posted the following question in GeekSugar Q and A:
I took some photos on a recent trip I'd love to print — 8"x10" ideally. What website has the best quality prints? Thanks!
If I'm not printing my own photos at home, I've had success with one printing service. Find out my recommendation (and share your own!) after the break.
While you absolutely adore your lil one, sometimes it's nice to get out and enjoy a movie or just plain old adult company. Thanks to babysitters, it's possible. Show them how much you appreciate their help by giving them a gift this holiday season.
Since they help you get out to see a flick every now and then, return the favor and buy them a movie gift card. You can buy them for $5 and up.
For the babysitter who is more like a family member, personalize a photo album of your family for her from Snapfish.com. The small paper ones start at $5 but if you want to spring for a leather or velvet bound book, it will cost you about $50.
And if you are the type of person who could not live without your sitter, don't scoot by on a $5 gift. Put together a gift basket of things to pamper her. A gift certificate to a local salon ($50), a plush Gap robe ($50) and a pair of fuzzy warm UGG slippers ($75) should do the trick.
And for a nice and heartfelt touch, have your lil ones make a sweet homemade card telling her just how much she means to them, too.
The launch of lilsugar got me to thinking about how much easier it must be to be a photo-happy parent in the age of digital cameras and online photo services. When I was a kid my mom would follow me around with a giant 35 mm, and we'd end up standing in line at the drugstore photo lab once a week. Thank goodness for photo-archive sites like Flickr, Picasa, and my new family favorite Snapfish, which allows users to share, print, and store photos in one place.
Snapfish offers professionally-developed prints as low as $.10, film developing for just $3 per roll, free online photo sharing, unlimited online photo storage, free editing tools and software, wireless imaging services, and more than 80 personalized photo products like mouse pads.
What's even cooler, you can even send photos from your camera phone to an online album and share pictures with family and friends when you're away from computer access.
