Christmas Collage Gift Ideas

mdirector — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 23:28:16 +0000

A few weeks ago, we posted a Christmas Collage Idea and thought we’d revisit the topic as we edge closer and closer to the 25th. That’s right, there are only five shopping days left until Christmas! For those of you struggling to find gift ideas, here a few collage related thoughts that can be completed last minute (but give the impression that you’ve been thinking all year about it):

Looking for a gift for a family member or close friend? Assemble some of your favorite pictures, select a collage product, and order the prints.
Once you’ve received the prints, you can go the traditional route and frame the collage or use magnets to hang.
You can make a smaller copy and cut and fold it around a plastic juice can for a pencil holder.
You can slip one in the front of a 3-ring notebook.
Cover a pencil box with your collage.

The countdown is on, we’re now only one week away from Christmas! Did you see the Collagist Free Christmas Card Designs? With the holiday fresh on our mind, we thought it only made sense to celebrate a new Collage of the Week(end) featuring images that scream Christmas:

The best way to recommend an improvement to our product or service.

I hope everyone is having a great week. With the hectic Holiday season in full-bore, sometimes it’s the little things you forget. And while we would never consider customer service a “little thing,” heck, exceptional service is what makes us different, we thought today would be a good time to focus on communication. Specifically, ways for you, our valued customer, to recommend an improvement to our product or service.

Believe it or not, you actually have five ways to reach us, talk to us, and engage in productive communication with the Collagist team. Here they are:

1) Telephone – Yes, it may be considered old-school in today’s high tech world, but who doesn’t like the option of picking up the phone to reach out and communicate. We believe in this avenue so much that we put it right where you want it, on top of the Collagist.com homepage for all the world to see – 508-925-7474.

2) Website Contact Form – If you have questions about placing your order, need a custom quote for your project, or simply want to make a suggestion, head right over to our contact form and say hi!

3) Blog – Well this is an easy one. See this blog you’re reading? If you look below, you’ll see two words, “No Comments.” Let’s change that! Drop us a note and we’ll be sure to respond.

4) Facebook – Oh ya, Facebook isn’t just for the kids out there, it’s also a serious business tool. If you happen to be one of the 500 million people in the world on Facebook, why not check us out, “like us,” and engage with the Collagist community!

5) Twitter – Last but certainly not least, Twitter is the newest way to reach us. Short, sweet, and to the point, Twitter gives you 140 characters to make a recommendation, ask a question, or simply say “hi.” If you’re doing the Twitter thing, let’s follow each other! We have over 130 followers right now and growing by the day. We love Twitter and so will you.

So there you have it, five ways to reach out and talk to us. Don’t be shy, tell us what we can do to help YOU do more with your pictures!

We like Collages, but we also really like deals!

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that many of our customers are raising little ones. After all, most children enjoy playing the leading role in a pictorial. We here at Collagist love children and know how expensive it can be to raise them, especially around the Christmas season. That’s why we wanted to point out a great deal going on at Gymboree. For a limited time you can get 30% off everything in your cart (both in stores and online). Need more? How does free shipping sound.

This is one of those too good to be true sales, so jump on it right away and don’t forget who’s looking out for you! With all the money you save, maybe you want to check out some collages? Just a thought

Collage of the Week

mdirector — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 10:00:00 +0000

Thanksgiving is behind us and we have a slighter larger belly to prove it! Don’t look now, but December is about to begin, which means cold weather, hot chocolate, snow, skiing, Christmas, more snow, more hot chocolate, more snow, shoveling, mittens, and yes, more hot chocolate. The Collage of the Week covers it all!

Christmas Collage Ideas

mdirector — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 10:00:00 +0000

One major holiday down, one major holiday to go (well two if you count New Years Eve)! As we head into the first week of December, the Collagist team would like to present one Christmas theme collage idea every Sunday throughout the month. Today’s idea comes from the Disney family and shouldn’t take more than 2 hours of your time.

Hate feeling under the weather? So do we. That’s why today’s project will come in handy this month as the temperatures drop (we’re just outside Boston, which means snow is on the way soon). Below you’ll find everything needed to create the perfect Tissue Box Cover Christmas gift for the soon to be sick friend or family member. Enjoy!

Materials

Scissors or 2-inch circle craft punch, available at craft stores, Photographs or digital images, Colored paper, Mod Podge sealer, matte or gloss, Paintbrush, Plain plastic tissue box cover

Instructions

1. With a craft punch or scissors, cut several dozen circles from selected images and colored paper.

2. Paint some sealer on an area of the tissue box, top it with a circle, then coat the circle with more sealer.

3. Repeat this process with each circle until the box is decorated to your liking. Let the sealer dry overnight.
