Every year on my parents and in-laws Christmas list is a photo calendar of their grand kids. And ever year I find great deals an great calendars at Shutterfly. This year their calendars have a new feature, where you can add tiny pictures directly on to the days of the calendar. I love this feature, as I put a picture of each kid and grand kid on their birth date. I even added wedding pictures on anniversary dates. There are hundreds of backgrounds and layouts to choose from and Shutterfly even has an auto fill option where you choose the pictures you want and they fill in the calendar for you. This makes it Super easy to make a Christmas present that your kids grandparents are guaranteed to love!
