The same photo cushion for weddings and the photographs from the day.
The same photo cushion for a new arrival, a nursery or a first-year keepsake.
The same photo cushion for anniversaries and milestone years together.
A photo cushion works because it replaces something rather than adding to it. Match the size to what is already there — 40x40cm is the standard UK sofa cushion — and it goes into rotation rather than onto a shelf.
A cushion carrying a photograph of someone who has died is one of the most-requested personalised items in December, when their absence is most felt. The 40x40cm plush is the usual choice.
Cheap, soft, and it makes a rented room look occupied. At £10 it fits a small budget while still being a real gift.
Two 40x40cm cushions and a 150x100cm blanket from the same photo shoot makes a coherent gift rather than three separate ones, and comfortably clears the £49 free-delivery threshold.
