Use the code when you go to checkout. I don't know if you can sign up as a 'new' member using a different email address. At least, not on the same computer. I tested this code out doing just that, but this is a different laptop to the one I first used Truprint/Snapfish on so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

I don't know about you but I have a stack of photos from the pre-Christmas snow, Christmas and New Year's, to get printed. I do like to get actual prints of photos, they're nice to have, and look good in albums.

Truprint also has a special offer on calendars and cards. Enter the code 2011CAL to get 50% off photo calendars (with the exception of Hallmark and Disney designs). Get the same with photo cards using code THANKYOU, with the same exceptions on Hallmark and Disney designs.

Thanks to skgwho at HUKD!

I have grown to love personalised calendars over the last few years. Since the birth of our daughter, we have treated our parents to photo calendars. No, really. They loved it. I know, cause they asked us for more this year! We did spare our friends and co-workers the joy though.

But really, personalised calendars are just such a fun and individual way of decorating your wall in a practical way.

There are loads of variations to allow for personal taste, with 33 different background categories, options for notes and pictures with personalised captions on dates. There are also three different sizes to choose from.

You can also share your online photo album with friends electronically and free of charge once you're done.

Your postage will cost you an additional £1.99 for your first calendar and then 99p per calendar thereafter.

Truprint are offering PlayPennies readers an exclusive 50% discount off a personalised Teddy. This gorgeous little chap is cuddly and soft and wears a t-shirt that can be personalised with a photograph of your choice.

Normally this bear costs £9.99, but if you use our exclusive code then you only pay £4.99! Please note that this discount does not include P&P so you’ll still have to pay £1.99 to get him delivered to your door.

This is a super pressie for any little tots in your family, or for a friend’s child, especially at this awesomely low price. He looks too cuddly for words and I am definitely going to get one for myself.

Personalised festive cards are such a nice touch, and are normally the only cards I keep at the end of the festive season. I know I'm a bit of a sap, but stick a reindeer hat on your defenceless baby and I'll admit I go a bit weak at the knees. I blame it on the hormones.

Christmas greeting cards by Snapfish, or Truprint as you may know them, can be photo paper cards, stationery photo cards, folded photo greeting cards, photo note cards, or photo postcards and there's a limited amount of creative freedom. From full picture cards or a twelve-photo collage, to Disney, traditional and religious designs, there are at least 33 holiday options to choose from.

There's also the option to add a personalised message and the more you buy, the cheaper each individual card will be (one card is £1.99 and 100+ would be .75p before the coupon code).

The coupon code goes on the last page, after you've added your card details and before you pay, which can be done by debit or credit card, or through Paypal.

The code is valid until October 31^st, so you still have some time to design and order your Christmas cards, and with delivery taking 4 – 8 working days, there'll be no reason to have any last minute rush on your holiday greetings this year.

I love photobooks. I've used them to put together photobooks to celebrate an anniversary, my father-in-laws life at his wake, and as Christmas parents for grandparents. I was also very impressed with my best mate, who made up a story with appropriate photos for her niece and nephew, where each child was the central character.

Although summer isn't over (yet!), about now is when canny parents start to fill their Christmas present shopping list. Discounts like this are a great way to get something special a little bit cheaper. Hopefully PlayPennies parents will be able to make good use of this one!

Whether you like it or loathe it chances are the kids LOVE to show some appreciation when it comes to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

And guess what – it is Father’s Day in just under two weeks. If you’re the mum, or the partner of a father, then put a big circle on the 20^th of June.

The key is to get dad something that’s meaningful, but also quick and doesn’t empty the wallet. Photo gifts are a great way do just that, and you can get the kids involved in the creative process too. Here we looked at a few of the items that are available from Truprint for Father’s Day. I’ve been using these guys for what seems like forever – since the days when I stuck my rolls of film in an envelope and posted it off. They’re a well known photo processing brand in the UK, and now they’re part of a well known US brand too – Snapfish.

Mugs on a Mug

This is one of my favourites – personalising a mug with a photo. PlayPennies mum Esther got one of these to send to her dad. “The kids liked the collage option, and spent ages picking out the right photos to include. You have to crop or edit photos in another program though as there aren’t any options here. When we go the mug I was happy with how robust it felt, and also with the sharpness of the pictures.”

It is possible to crop the photo a little bit, and rotate it,  if you choose the single photo mug.

Since his firm relocated to London, Lisa and her husband have been forced to spend weekdays apart. For his birthday, she bought him two of the photo mugs. “Each of the boys got to design their own mug, and there’s space to put a message so they both thought up a little poem. One mug has been used as a pen holder, and the other for coffee. Despite spending a lot more time in the office dishwasher, it still looks as good as the other mug. Also happy with the chunkiness of them. My other half is very good at breaking the handles on mugs!”.

Right now mugs are on offer for half price - £3.99. All you to do is enter the code TOPDAD at checkout. Offer ends at midnight on June 13^th.

Posters

Got any arty or quirky photos? Stick them on a poster! I’ve a fabulous photo of my son making a snow angel in the snow this year that just looks perfect for more of an arty setting. I’ve already ordered a poster of it for my other half for father’s day.

One of our mum’s, Margaret, already has her poster. “I wanted to get something that I could put in a large wooden frame that Kerry had already decorated with her hand prints. She picked out the photo – she’s sliding down a big tube slide that’s all shiny inside. I liked the quality of the paper it was printed on – fairly thick so that you get the feeling it wouldn’t tear if you were just blu tacking it to the wall. I wasn’t so thrilled with the photo itself."

"I didn’t really understand how the enlargement process works to be honest, and while the image looked quite clear when viewed on the computer screen, blown up it came out slightly blurry. I can see that’s in the photo itself now when I look at it 100% in my image editing software. You live and learn! The important thing though is that my three year old daughter loves it and wants a poster of her own now!”

On a fob

I’m not a big person for carrying about photos with me of the kids – I hate the way they get dog eared. And I don’t have a camera phone. So I’m going to be dropping heavy hints with the other half for one of these for my birthday!

It is an acrylic keyring. The photo goes in what looks like a fairly sturdy clear plastic surround. I’ve ordered one for the other half for Father’s Day (they’re only £2.99) and it hasn’t arrived yet so I am not sure exactly what the quality is like. But I will update this review when it arrives.

As with the single photo on the mug, you can crop in a little bit on your selected image. You can also rotate the image.

Cute teddy

Oh I do wish I could have got one of these when my son was younger! He’d have loved it. I gave him this photo of the three of us – mum, dad and baby – when he was about a year old and he loved getting it out to look at. After a while it looked really battered not to mention chewed! Something like this teddy bear (£9.99) would have been a great idea.

Instead we got one of these for my step daughter for her birthday, as a little reminder of her baby brother. It is soft, and it is cuddly. I’d have preferred it if you could pick the colour of the t-shirt. White seems a bit impractical especially if you’re giving it to a child. My brother in law has ordered one to give to his baby son on Father’s Day, as a sort of reminder that daddy’s around even if he isn’t always there. Awww how sweet is that! I’ll come back and update this review to let you know how well the teddy bear holds up after it reaches the clutches of a ten month old!

And Finally

These are just a few of the gift ideas that Truprint are offering. There's also what looks like a really lovely Father's Day card that you and your kids could put together, for £2.99. To guarantee delivery though, all orders must be placed by June 13th.
