Unique photo gift ideas
Here is another Lifehacker feature for you by yours truly: Unique photo gift ideas. Note the kid illustration. That’s me.:) I decided to live out the 15 minutes of baby fame I never got back when. Once back at my machine, I’ll post the image on Flickr in full size and will add a link here, in case you’re curious.
UPDATE: I’ve posted the images: greeting card, movie poster.

Neat ideas! It’s not directly related to the Flickr toys, but I wanted to mention that I was disappointed with the photo printing service integrated into Flickr itself. I ordered an 8×10 of an odd-sized image but when I went to Target to pick it up an hour later I found that they had cropped people off the sides instead of allowing a white border at the top and bottom. I ended up going back to shutterfly; they allow you to preview and even custom crop your stuff before it gets printed. (I’d have left this comment at Lifehacker,but apparently only cool people can comment there.)

As I noted in the Lifehacker feature, I had a bad experience with Yorkphoto. It was basically the same issue: instead of leaving some white- or blackspace around my photo, they decided to crop it. That is so not okay. And since I had ordered 50 or so copies of that one photo, it was REALLY not okay!
You are cool enough to comment on Lifehacker, an invitation with a code for commenting should be in your mailbox by now.:)
