A make-it-yourself photo gift shop: you upload your own photos or design onto ornaments, stockings, gift wrap and hundreds of other products, made to order.

How we wrote this: we sell personalized Christmas decor ourselves and we haven’t ordered from Bags of Love. So this review sticks to what Bags of Love’s own website says about its products, prices, delivery and returns, with a link to each page. No star ratings, because we haven’t held theirs.

What’s good

Almost anything can carry your own photo: ornaments, stockings, gift wrap and hundreds of other products.
Fast: they say most orders ship in 1–2 days and FedEx usually reaches Canada in about 2 days.
A late Christmas deadline: December 18 for delivery by Christmas Day.
Velvet stockings are big (24 inches tall) and printed all over.

What to watch for

You design it yourself: great with good photos, more work without them.
Ornaments start at $35.95 even at the advertised 60% off, well above our ceramic ornaments.
Personalized orders can’t be returned once production starts, and cancelling after 40 minutes costs 20%.
Faults have to be reported within 14 days, and transit damage within 48 hours.

Verdict

Bags of Love is the pick when you want your own photo on it and need it fast. If you’d rather choose a finished, illustrated design and just add a name, for less, that’s what we make.

It’s mid-December: their Christmas deadline is December 18.
You want a big velvet stocking or a product we don’t make.

Pick us if…

You want a pretty, finished design (pink, vintage, gingerbread, nutcrackers, pets) and just a name and year.
You want to see exactly how the name will look before you buy.
You want a lower price on ornaments.
You want matching pieces: many of our patterns also come as wrapping paper, tree skirts and table linens.
