Do you have a good eye when it comes to taking photographs? If so, you may want to consider creating your own batch of photo mousepads to use as gifts for birthdays and holidays. Mouse pads are a useful item and they are inexpensive to order through VistaPrint.

There really are no limits when it comes to what you can do with photo mouse pads, and just about any photograph can work well. Nature photos look wonderful, but pictures of animals or even buildings are good choices too. Consider taking some “fall color” photos, or go to the zoo to scope out some exotic animals to photograph for your design. Let your imagination be your guide and it will lead you to some interesting places.

Photographs of people also work well. Mouse pads can make great holiday gifts for relatives and friends. Use photos of the kids to create a custom mouse pad for the grandparents, or take a family photo and send out mouse pads to friends instead of holiday cards.

Once you have a few photographs you like, you may want to enhance them a little bit by using a photo editing program. Cropping the photo can help bring out the best elements of the picture. Adding text or centering the photograph can also be a good idea. In addition, you may want to bring up some of the colors to make certain parts of the photograph “pop” and stand out more. Just some basics can go a long way toward making the photo mousepad look professional and polished.

The ordering process is simple. You can browse through our designs and search for a format that appeals to you. If you prefer, you can upload your own design instead and personalize it to suit your taste. Either way, it takes only minutes to get everything in place before you finalize the order.

The nice part about ordering from VistaPrint is that we don’t force you to purchase large quantities to get a reasonable price. We keep it inexpensive because we know that sometimes you don’t want to order a large number of items at one time. Smaller orders can be accommodated easily, which means that you can do several different mouse pad designs instead of getting just one. Experiment with some photographs that you like and see which ones make the cut. Once you choose the winners, simply upload, customize and order–we’ll do the rest!
