Who it is for

Anyone you know well enough to have a photo of — coworkers, nurses, grads, pet parents, hobbyists, couples and the person who already owns everything.

What it costs

$17.99 USD for one standard card; $49.99 USD for an 11 x 15.4 inch MEGA display card. Shipping and any tax are shown at checkout.

When to give it

Christmas, white elephant and secret santa, birthdays, graduations, retirements, weddings and just-because.

Choose the gift format and quantity

Start with the person receiving it and where they will display it. These are photographed Snapshot products; you choose your own photo and an available design. All prices are in USD, before shipping and any tax. The chosen quantity applies to the first design you make; you can adjust copies and add other designs in a Rookie Box before ordering.

Player, family and coach copies

Five copies in a Rookie Box

$31.99 USD

Starts with five standard copies of your first design, with one magnetic display case included per box. For different player designs, reduce the first design’s copies and add the other designs separately. Review the final card count and price; add extra cases if each gift needs one.

Senior night or a coach tribute

One MEGA display card

$49.99 USD

One oversized 11 x 15.4 inch card on card stock with a protective sleeve. Plan the display around this size; a frame or stand is not included.

One shared design for a team handout

Bulk Boxes contain copies of one design. Use them for a shared team tribute or event keepsake. If every player needs a different personalized card, count the unique designs separately and choose a Rookie Box or discuss the roster with our team.

Standard and holographic are the online finish choices. Gold or silver foil work requires a custom quote. Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that. International and expedited rates depend on the destination and service shown at checkout.

The gift they won't expect

Most gifts get used and forgotten. A custom card — their photo and a personal message on a real, professionally printed card — is a keepsake they'll actually keep. It takes about a minute to design, costs $17.99 for one card, and arrives in a magnetic display case.

Personalize a gift around a detail you actually know

For a coworker, pet parent or milestone recipient, a familiar photo and a thoughtful sentence are a stronger starting point than filling every available field.

  1. 1. Coworker or retirement

    Choose a workplace-appropriate photo and a message about a contribution or shared memory. Confirm job titles, names and dates. Keep private company details and jokes the recipient would not enjoy off the design.

  2. 2. Pet or hobby keepsake

    Use the pet’s name or the person’s favorite activity as the theme. Pick a photo where the subject is clear, then preview whether the chosen design suits it. Do not assume every template supports every layout.

  3. 3. Milestone or gift exchange

    Match the message to the person and occasion. For a spending limit, compare the final checkout total, including shipping and any tax, rather than treating the product price as the delivered price.

A dedication you can adapt

“For the stories, the kindness and the small things you do that make a difference. This one is all about you.”

An example message, not a customer quotation.

Before you approve the design

Check photo permission, spelling and whether the recipient would be comfortable opening the gift in front of others. A short message leaves more room for the person to be the focus.

What to expect on delivery

Confirm your presentation date, finish the design review, then check the carrier estimate for the actual delivery address before paying. Allow time to receive and organize the gifts before the event; an estimated arrival is not an event-date guarantee.

Production

Cards go into production the same day you order and ship on the next business day.

Expedited

When available, Priority and Overnight orders placed before the same-day cut-off on a business day ship that same day. The available services and exact cut-off time are shown at checkout.

In transit

Delivery time on top of that depends on the carrier and the destination, and you see the carrier estimate before you pay.

Shipping cost

Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that. A Rookie Box of 5 cards is $31.99, which clears the bar on its own.

Ordering in time for Christmas

Cards go into production the same day you order and ship on the next business day. Delivery time on top of that depends on the carrier and the destination, and you see the carrier estimate before you pay. We have not published a Christmas order-by date yet, because delivery depends on the destination, carrier and seasonal conditions. Order early, compare available services at checkout and allow time to receive the gift before the celebration. An expedited service does not by itself guarantee holiday arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most personal gift you can give?

A custom card of the recipient — their own photo and a personal message on a real, professionally printed card. It costs $17.99, ships with a magnetic display case, and lasts far longer than another mug or gift card. This hub also rounds up gift guides by recipient and occasion.

What is a good gift under $20?

A custom trading card is $17.99 including the display case — an ideal price for white elephant, secret santa, or a thoughtful just-because gift. Additional copies in the same box cost less than the first. Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that.

What is a good personalized gift for a coworker or nurse?

A custom card that honors what they do — a lighthearted "rookie card" for a coworker, or a tribute card for a nurse or first responder. Browse the guides above by recipient for more ideas.

How fast can I get a custom gift?

You can preview the design in your browser, and no account is needed to start. Cards go into production the same day you order and ship on the next business day; delivery time on top of that depends on the carrier and where it is going, and you see the carrier estimate before you pay. For a hard date, choose an expedited service at checkout.

Do I need an account to make one?

No. You can design a card signed out, and guest checkout is available when you order. Check the final design and total before payment.
