Photo Calendars - The Perfect Gift

When I worked at PhotoLab in 2009 I discovered the most amazing gift - personalized photo calendars! 

Since then I have been making one for my Grandma every Christmas. My mom and I used to buy her Elvis calendars every year, she thinks he's gorgeous (can you think of a woman at that age who doesn't?). But now I think she might enjoy looking at her family members pictures even more than hunky Elvis because every year that she gets a personalized photo calendar she has the biggest smile on her face. 

Well, if you live near a PhotoLab/Zehrs you're in luck because right now they are on sale! Instead of paying $24, it's only $16.80! Just go on over to their website www.photolab.ca, upload your favourite pictures and customize a calendar! While you're browsing over there, why not take the time to look at all the other great gifts they offer, since a lot of them are on sale this time of year? 

The website says that you have until December 12 to place your order if you want to receive it before December 23. So get to it!
