Photacular Review and Giveaway

9:33 PM


***Giveaway Closed***


Recently, I won a giveaway for $25 worth of merchandise from a company called Photacular. I was happy because I hadn't won a giveaway in awhile and was excited about having something on which I could put my children's photos. I chose to get the travel mug. Now, we have many travel mugs here at our house already, but I wanted one for ME. My husband uses them for milk and takes them to work. To me, I don't like the idea of coffee being put in the same travel mug as milk...so, I decided to get my own. My mug arrived a short time after I ordered it and I was amazed. The quality was superb. I mean...you know how most travel mugs seem cheaply made? This was far from that! The pictures turned out so clear and perfect...I could not have asked for a better product! I use my travel mug all the time and it is a GREAT conversation piece...as my babies are so cute! Ha!

So, I was thrilled when I contacted Photacular and they agreed to allow me to review and offer a giveaway. I wanted to be able to share this company and the experience of receiving a product that is made so well.I chose to review the round magnet and the large photo mug. I am also including in this review, my own plastic travel mug that I had won...only because it is so wonderful and I am so in love with it!


Photacular is a company that offers personalized, unique photo gifts and keepsakes. I am a photo-holic. I take LOADS of pictures every day. I love to scrapbook and put my photos in books so obviously, preserving and keeping my photos for future memories is very important to me. Photacular makes this so easy with all the products that they offer. With Photacular, you can put your most treasured photos on just about anything...tote bags, magnets, coasters, clothing, ornaments, keepsake boxes, etc.

The customer service is also out of this world. My interactions with their employees was nothing but positive and my packing slip was signed by the owner, Darla! That really made me feel like I was a valued customer. Their mission statement says it all:

"We strive for an enjoyable user experience and complete customer satisfaction -- in our product selection, in how you use our website to customize and order your gifts, and in the quality of our finished products. We treat your photos as the treasures they are and we always aim to help you keep those precious memories alive."

As a customer, I would like to say that they have lived up to that statement in my eyes. I cannot say that about all companies...but Photacular has really proven their belief by how they treat their customers.

The Large Mug that I received for review is great! It is ceramic and holds 15 ounces. I chose to have two different photos put on it so it has a different picture on each side. It is heavy duty and looks really professional. The Round Magnet is made out of durable, hard plastic and is 2 1/2" in diameter with a nice glossy finish. I love the idea of a photo magnet because it makes a perfect stocking stuffer. I chose to put our family's picture on this magnet. I LOVE the way it turned out, too!

So, in my opinion...Photacular is a high-quality, professional, friendly and wonderful company! They are great to work with and their 90 day guarantee really makes them stand out from all the rest. I am very pleased with my experience and they have totally surpassed my expectations!!! Thanks, Photacular!! :)
