Nothing says “I took the time to get you something really special” more than a personalized gift, and while many might choose a monogrammed item or something in the recipient’s favorite color and call it a day, I have discovered a gift that takes personalization to a whole new level.

So let me set the scenario: perhaps you’ve got a couple of favorite pictures of you and the object of your affection, or perhaps you have photos of a meaningful place that you both love - maybe from a vacation or maybe from the early days of your relationship. Now check this out: You can take those digital photos and create relatively inexpensive postcards, note cards, and greeting cards with them.

I was recently offered the chance to do just that through MOO, and the results truly surprised me. Let’s take a look…

Remember when MOO MiniCards hit the scene in late 2006? Everyone on the internet thought they were the cutest thing since…I don’t know what, and many of us ordered sets to keep, trade, or even use as business cards. The deal was that you could access your Flickr account and use up to 100 different photos to decorate the back of each custom card, although another option was that you could also go with just a single favorite photo or multiples of different photos. The front could hold traditional business card information, although you certainly didn’t have to be so staid. The diminutive MOO MiniCards measured 28mm (0.9″) tall x 70mm (2.75″) wide, and while they were about as wide as a traditional business card, they were only half as tall. I ordered a set, and although I loved the cards I couldn’t help but wish that MOO made a more standard sized business card that allowed the same artistic freedom; my unspoken wish has been granted, and now they do.

I was recently offered the chance to review the new MOO Business Cards, and it wasn’t simply because I needed new business cards that I jumped at the opportunity; I had hopes that they would be every bit as cool as the MiniCards were (and are). Guess what I found out?

Chehui from Palm Is Life recently posted about receiving his box of Flickr MiniCards from MOO.

I love his picture of a kitty chewing string!

To order, you basically just go through your Flickr account and pick out the images you want to use. You can use the same one, do multiples of a few, or really go buckwild and pick up to a hundred different pictures to fill these tiny calling cards.

The cost? $25 delivered anywhere in the world.

I have almost ordered these so many times, now I wonder why I didn’t. They look much more friendly and cheerful than the typical “card”.
