PicPads Review and Giveaway

by Elizabeth on October 22, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

PicPads are the creation of founder Laura Eiman, a trained graphic designer who was looking for a gift idea for her Mom’s birthday, printed some photos of her kids on notepad sized paper for fun and realized she had a terrific personalized gift! PicPads are custom made photo notepads that are individually handmade by one of the company’s trained designers. The notepads have been mentioned in RealSimple, Everyday with Rachael Ray, and Oprah magazine among others, and were named a Top Ten gift by Rachael Ray in 2007.

PicPads FunPads Laura very generously sent me a large selection of notepads from her different collections so I could see the quality for myself. PicPads can be printed with both black and white and color photos, come in different sizes, and can be lined or unlined. KidPads are 8×10 and can be ordered lined, a great way for kids to practice handwriting or write a thank you note for gifts! ShoppingListPads let you look at a cute photo while matching up sale prices and coupons at the grocery store, they are also a narrower size at 3.5 by 8 inches. NotePads are 5×8 inches and are great for personalized stationery or scratch pads. Personalize them with your favorite photo and you have a great gift for yourself or someone else! Each of these range in price from $24.95 to $37.95 for a pack of 2.

FunPads are a less expensive option at $9.95 each, and feature 20 of the best photos used for PicPads. They measure 5×8 inches and are made with the same premium grade paper as all PicPads products. That’s a sample FunPad in the very cool dynamic image. I love it! You get a set of 2 with 40 sheets each.
