Have all the holiday photo deals got your head spinning? Want to make a photo book but don’t know what company has the best price? Want to know the best price on photo cards? This year I am going to keep a big list of all the Holiday photo card deals, the Photo Book offers and coupon codes, all the picture print deals as well as photo gift idea deals. I will be updating this page every week and you can access it all the way up through Christmas in my sidebar of my blog.
First let’s talk about the past few years. I have been posting deals for the past 5 years and have seen what kinds of great deals companies have put out there.
My favorite place to order Christmas cards is Cardstore.com
.
The past few years I was able to get all of my custom Christmas photo cards for just $0.29 each mailed to my recipients. You see the amazing part about Cardstore is that you can enter in all of your addresses and have them mail the cards out for you. They will also store your addresses for future use. It’s BETTER THAN FREE because I would usually have to pay the price of a $0.45 stamp; but they cover the shipping and the card for just $0.29. You have to hit the sales just right if you want to get this price. In the past these sales were one day only. My advice is to get all your pictures done soon because the big sales are coming!
Cardstore.com – Last year the lowest prices started mid November (November 16 and 19) and continued randomly through 12/17.
Here is a list of all of last years promotions from Cardstore.com (2012):
November 15 – 70% off all cards + free shipping (=as low as $0.33 per card shipped)
November 16 – $0.29 Holiday cards + free shipping one day only
Nov. 19 – 12/11 – 75% off + free shipping (= as low as $0.27 + free shipping)
Nov. 26 – $0.39 Holiday cards + free shipping
Dec 3 – $0.49 Holiday cards + free shipping
Dec 12 – $0.29 Holiday cards + free shipping
12/15-12/17 – 70% off Holiday cards + free shipping (=as low as $0.33 per card shipped)
I cannot guarantee that Cardstore will do these sales again this year. My best advice is to be ready early with your pictures and addresses if you want to save money.
Included in their card sales are letter style cards that you can customize. You can do this instead of a letter this year! Cardstore also has holiday cards that you DON’T need a custom picture for. You can just customize the wording. I love the custom teacher card. So sweet. Thanks for letting my share all about my favorite card company. Now lets move on to all the deals and special coupon codes.

I just received an email today from Snapfish for 2 free calendars when you buy one with the code GET3CALS. Offer ends 11/19. Just thought you’d like to know about this deal.
Thanks Candace!
Yep, this has been my company for the last few years as well. Great paper quality and service! I love to add personal notes and the boys’ pics taken at school, so the option of them mailing the cards isn’t for me, though it’s awfully tempting. I enjoy the time spent writing a few lines while listening to a good Christian Christmas Cd!!!!
There’s a deal on Amazon local for a Picaboo 9X11 photobook for $15 and includes free standard shipping.
Thanks Judy! Just added it. 🙂
Fingers crossed on the Cardstore deal again for us too this year. Thanks to you I was able to grab the .29cent card deal last year and we loved it…free shipping was awesome! Although our family/friends gave us grief as they missed our whismy/snarky/funny Christmas Letter when they just got our photo directly! I may have to pony up a stamp this year on my end…HA!
Yes, or also you can use one of those “letter-style” cards and do both! I wonder if they have an option to add words to the back of a card? Something I will have to look into.
Oh, I never thought of the “letter style” card idea before…hmmm. Yes, writing on the back would be great too. Have to go window shop now before the sales arrive 🙂 PS. Thanks for all that you do…I appreciate it!
