Helping the writer of the 83rd best politics blog in the UK

Look who just got a mention by the writer of the blog, which has been voted the 83rd best politics blog in the UK, according to the Total Politics Top 100 blogs survey.... and who is attending a big award ceremony in Bournemouth this Sunday...

Taken from Stuart Sharpe - Sharpe's Opinion

"Lastly, thanks to some very last minute arrangements with Jonathan at Fabulous Photo Gifts I may even be able to wear a tee shirt featuring my much-loved strawberry logo. Everyone else will be recognising each other by their Twitter avatars, now (hopefully) you’ll be able to recognise me by mine."

Thank you Stuart for that glowing endorsement - you shall go to the ball - your t-shirt is under the press as we speak. Good luck at the awards on Sunday.

If you need a photo gift in a hurry, why not drop us a line. We may be able to help - we'll certainly always try to be as helpful as possible.

The Photo Gift Company that really delivers - a case of Summer Lovin'

Summer Lovin'...

How did you spend your Summer Holidays? However you spent them, we hope you had a great time and feel all refreshed and ready for Autumn.

We were as busy as ever turning your photographs into fabulous photo gifts - everything from jigsaw puzzles to our new engraved moneyboxes.

And from our mailbag, it's obvious you've loved giving them and receiving them as much as we've loved seeing your fabulous photo's.

Here's a small selection of your more recent comments:

Hi - Just to say our jigsaws arrived yesterday - very speedy service! - and we're absolutely delighted with them.   The quality of the jigsaws is very good and I know our little granddaughters will love them. Many thanks!

Local advertising - have you seen our adverts?

Local advertising - have you seen our adverts?

Fabulous Photo Gifts has always been proud to support local businesses - whether that's on our own doorstep in Derbyshire or further afield.

So we're very pleased to announce that as well as advertising regularly in All Things Local - community magazine for Kilburn, Belper and Ripley, Derbyshire, from next month, we'll also be appearing in Living In magazines.

October will see Fabulous Photo Gifts alternating adverts between their two issue - Richmond & Kew and Barnes & East Sheen.

So if you're a regular reader or a new one of either publication, do look out for our adverts and if you do go on to order a personalised gift from us, don't forget to drop us a line, telling us where you saw us or let the magazine editors know. The feedback is really useful for the publishers.

Adding visitor stats to your Tumblr Blog

Did you know Fabulous Photo Gifts has a Tumblr Blog?

Sometimes its nice to know who's been visiting your blog and where they came from, rather than just a numbers game - "i had so many visitors last week" etc.

Blogger and Wordpress blog platforms make it really easy to quickly add stat programs like Google Analytics and StatCounter.

However, when I came to add StatCounter stats to my Tumblr account, where we've been featuring a fantasy iPod playlist with a different tune each day, I found it rather more challenging.

I couldn't find anything in the help pages and most online searches drew a blank.

Then I found, almost by accident, the nugget of information - how to install javascript into your Tumblr template and so I'd like to share that information with you here.

As with all template changes, please, please make sure you've got a back up somewhere first (expand widgets if you're doing such template changed on Blogger) as things can go wrong and be very very hard to recover from. You've been warned! (But don't let that put you off trying altogether).

So in my case, I wanted to install the custom tracking javascript supplied by StatCounter. Here's what you do:

Log into your Tumblr Account
Click the "Customize" link
Click "Theme" and then select "Use Custom HTML"
Scroll the the END of the code and paste your StatCounter code JUST BEFORE the < /body > < /html > tags.
Don't forget to click "Save Changes"
Enjoy your stats!

Click here to read the full how to.

You'll find more information on configuring your stats via StatCounter here:

Back to School - First Day Photographs

Back to School - First Day Photographs

As a working parent, it's very nice to be able to see your kids off to school on their first day back and be allowed to arrive a few minutes late at work.

It's a heady combination of expectant nerves (probably more so on the part of the parent than the child) and excitement, fidgeting with new school uniform and squeaky new shoes.

School bags laden with carefully selected pencils and colouring pens, books and maybe a packed lunch. It wouldn't be the first time a small teddy bear 'mascot' has also found its way in there either.

It's a great photo opportunity - one for the album* and one to share with grandparents and other family members as well as pass around at work - (proud gloat).

Don't forget your brilliant 'back-to-school' photo's will also make some smashing personalised photo gifts - 1000 piece jigsaws for grandparents to cushions and wall blocks for mum, desk easels, mugs and mousemats for dad. For something a little different - how about our personalised sub-surface engraved crystals - stunning!

There are even teddy bears in t-shirts that you can personalise for the children themselves or how about a teddy bear keyring, a money box or a smaller wooden jigsaw?

We've been hand printing our range of personalised photo gifts for 3 years now and in that time, we've seen some familiar young faces re-appear each year.

So we get to share yours (and theirs) excitement as well. How good is that?

*Top Tip: Write the date on the back of any printed photo's or include it in the file name on your computer - your grey matter will fail you after a few years!

Engraved silver money boxes - ideal for christenings

Hot on the heels of our new range of engraved gift ideas for him and her, comes a range of delightful engraved money boxes for children.

You'll also find some novel engraved gift ideas to celebrate the birth of a son or daughter, grandchild or nephew/niece with photo frames you can have engraved with babies birth details - weight and height, name, date and time of birth etc.

There's even a set of babies first cutlery you can have their name engraved on the handles.

So if you've been looking for the perfect christening gift for that little special someone, visit our new engraved baby gifts page at Fabulous Photo Gifts today.

P.S - We also do teddy bears in printed t-shirts - why not add their picture to the t-shirt or for older brothers and sisters, why not keep them feeling special with their very own jigsaw puzzle?

New - Engraved gifts for him

Engraved silver cufflink case - New at Fabulous Photo Gifts.

For that special someone, we have a new exquisite range of engraved gift ideas. Birthdays, anniversaries, presents for the Best Man etc.

There's a great range of silver engraved cufflinks, cufflink cases and hip flasks etc. to choose from as well as carefully selected novelty gifts.

We'll be adding new gift items as we 'try and test them' ourselves.

Head over to Fabulous Photo Gifts now and choose from one of the largest range of hand printed photo gifts and personalised presents.
