Meg's Favorites
Here are a few of Meg’s favorite things at Mpix.
Prints
I am pleased with the high quality, sharp images of the prints at Mpix. The colors match what I see on my computer screen. I also like that there are many size options to pick the perfect crop of my photo.
Keepsake Boxes
These are a fun way to store souvenirs or small mementos from a special trip. Print a photo on the top and add a title to create a nice display piece for the home.
Standouts
Using a Standout to decorate is different and adds depth. I like that it is sturdy enough to stand on its own.
Playing Cards
Putting an image of my kids on a deck of playing cards makes a great gift for grandparents. My kids love to play games using the cards with their faces.
Keychains
A little treat to add to someone's gift would be a personalized Keychain. They also make excellent party favors!
Gallery Wraps
My favorite product from Mpix! Gallery Wraps make such a statement in my home. The 1.5” wrapped border and ready to hang back make this a fabulous piece of art for your home.

Framed Prints
Opening a box with the photo already matted and framed was so cool! I love being able to hang it on the wall straight out of the box. The frames are great quality and the matting and prints are professional. I am so happy with this product.
