I agree, non-photography stuff is always great to have on hand. I have a lot of returning clients and I hate to give them the same thing over and over again!

Sometimes I will take a special print that I know they wanted but didn't get and order a 5x7, then mat them with the mats I have at the studio.

I ordered specialty cut mats from Finao (this is pretty cool actually, I'll post a photo) and I take all my newborn clients' birth announcements as well as client's holiday cards and mat them for display! That way, they never need to worry about what to do with their cards. I just use the extras that come with the order, and so it is only the cost of the mat which I think is around $2 :)

For nicer gifts, I used to have a lady on Etsy who made custom door signs - very vintage styled and painted names on them. They cost around $25 or so with s/h and it was perfect for all ages!

There was another guy on etsy who made wooden puzzles of the child's name -that is great for a baby plan gift when they turn 1 yr!

**ALSO TO NOTE! I had a custom stamp made that says &quot;A gift from Andrea Halsey Photography&quot; - this is great to also make as stickers (which I haven't done yet). That way, they will always remember!!! ^_^
