screen-shot-2016-11-30-at-8-45-26-amImage3D

Many generations have grown up playing with 3D viewers, looking at pictures of national monuments or stills from your favorite movies. What was missing from those pictures? You! That was the idea of Image3D’s founder, Rich Dubnow, when he left his job as head 3D photographer for View-Master to start Image3D.

Image3D allows customers to make 3D viewers—called the RetroViewer—and custom photo reels from their own digital photos. Most people give them as gifts for friends and family, but many also use them as a way to save pictures of family vacations or show the kids growing up.

How it works: Customers use Image3D’s Reel Builder website to create and edit custom photo reels from their own digital pictures, then they receive their own RetroViewer and photo reel in the mail a few days later. A viewer and reel set retails for $29.95.

Here are a few ideas for how you can make use of this product this holiday season—you might find the RetroViewer to be the perfect gift for that one special person on your holiday shopping list:

  • Viewers and reels make for a unique gift for family and friends that is sure to make everyone smile—at an affordable price.
  • A fun way to keep in touch with those you can’t see for the holidays.
  • A great stocking stuffer for parents or grandparents.
  • Sure to please the family shutterbug or retrophile!
  • Change up the picture postcard with something unique and fun that everyone will enjoy receiving.
  • A little thoughtful and romantic holiday surprise for that special someone.

StoryWorth

StoryWorth is a perfect gift for anyone in your family (especially grandma/grandpa or the great grandparents etc.) or as a stocking stuffer or for those seeking gifts that are truly memorable.

Recording family stories is a wonderful gift for the entire family, but many families don’t know where to start. StoryWorth helps families record their stories through weekly emails with questions you’ve never thought to ask.  For a flat price of $79, gift recipients receive:

A full year of story prompts: One year of weekly emails with unique questions about their life, such as“What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever seen?” or “Have you ever pulled a great prank?”

A private account on StoryWorth.com: Privacy is StoryWorth’s number one priority for their users. All the stories are securely stored on the family’s private StoryWorth account, where they can be easily shared with additional family members, if desired.

A beautiful hardcover book: After a year, StoryWorth’s team will create a beautifully bound hardcover book containing all the stories shared within the past year.  This makes a great gift and keepsake which the family will cherish for generations.
