Most gift guides skip the part everyone actually wants to know: what does it cost? So this one leads with it.

Here is what a personalized photo keepsake runs for a Union Gap family, and what you get at each level.

The price ladder, start to finish

Every option below starts from a photo you already have. There is no design fee and no minimum order — one keepsake is a real order.

  • Single keepsake — $10. One 3.5-inch round photo magnet. The stocking-stuffer, the thank-you, the just-because.
  • Small set — the usual choice for a birthday or a graduation, so the grandparents and the aunts each go home with one.
  • Legacy set of 12 — $78. What families order for a memorial, a reunion, or a milestone anniversary.
  • Event and party runs — quoted by guest count, for anything from a 40-person shower to a 150-person reception.

What is included at every price

A digital proof before anything prints, up to two free revisions, and honest feedback if the photo you sent won't hold up at print size. That last part saves more Union Gap orders than anything else we do.

What is not included, so there are no surprises

There is no priority fee, no per-photo setup charge, and no upcharge for Spanish text or a second name on the same design. Shipping is the only add-on, and Union Gap pickup removes it.

The one thing that does cost more is a heavy photo restoration — a badly damaged print that needs rebuilding rather than adjusting. We quote that before we start, never after.

Which level fits which occasion

A rough map, based on what Union Gap households actually order:

  • One keepsake — a teacher thank-you, a coworker's last day, a stocking stuffer.
  • Small set — a first birthday, a graduation, a baby shower where the grandparents each want one.
  • Legacy set of 12 — a memorial service, a 50th anniversary, a family reunion table.
  • Party run — a wedding reception, a church event, a quinceañera with a full guest list.

How to order without guessing

Send the photo and the occasion in one message. You will get a digital proof back within 3 business days, and once you approve it, allow 7–10 business days for production and shipping. Union Gap pickup is free and usually faster than that.

How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story

Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.

You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.

Moments that whisper are worth remembering. Because moments fade. Love doesn't.

Made for Union Gap

We're a Yakima Valley shop, and Union Gap is home ground for us. Union Gap is a few minutes from our worktable, so pickup is free and same-week timelines are realistic when the calendar allows.

Is there a minimum order for Union Gap?

+

No. One magnet is a real order at $10, and there is no design fee on top of it.

What if my photo is too low-resolution?

We tell you before printing and suggest a fix — usually a different photo from the same day, or sending the original file instead of a screenshot.

Yes. Pickup in the valley is free; you tell us when you are coming and the order is ready.
