Acrylic Plaques and Photo Blocks
Acrylic plaques and photo blocks are the most affordable personalized keepsakes, and they start under $50. Your photo is printed into clear acrylic that sits cleanly on a desk or shelf with no frame or wall mount needed, which makes them an easy gift for almost anyone. Browse the personalized photo plaques collection or start with the classic acrylic photo block, and see each product page for current sizes and pricing.
Custom Photo Puzzles
A custom photo puzzle turns a favorite picture into a gift and a shared activity at once, and the smaller piece counts start under $50. It suits families, couples, and anyone who would rather build a gift than unwrap one. Browse our custom photo puzzles to pick a size and piece count.
Wall Art Under $50
Putting a photo on the wall does not have to be expensive. Canvas and fine-art paper prints start under $50 at their smaller sizes, so a meaningful image can become a finished wall piece on a budget. See the wall arts collection or the custom canvas print for current sizes and pricing.
Custom Digital Portraits
A custom digital portrait is among the most budget-friendly options, because it turns your photo into a stylized piece of art delivered as a digital file. You can keep it on a screen or print it at the size you want, which makes it a flexible gift well under $50.
How to Choose a Photo Gift Under $50
Start from the person, not the price. Pick a desk keepsake like a plaque or block for someone who would display it, a puzzle for someone who enjoys an activity, or a print for someone with a wall to fill. A clear, well-lit photo makes any of these formats look its best. For the wider range of options across every budget, see our guide to the best photo gifts.
