Top tip: Create an anonymous Instagram account and upload images so your gifts feature unseen snaps.
Here, we pick sites that convert Instagram photos into magnets, nail art, greeting cards, stickers and marshmallows.
BOOMF
Make your photos edible with Boomf, the site that prints Instagram images onto square marshmallows and delivers them by post. The Boomf brand was launched by Mint Digital in 2013 and is famously championed by James Middleton, brother of The Duchess of Cambridge. Get a box of nine printed marshmallows from £13.99; a fun stocking filler. Just make sure you choose brightly coloured Instagram images for the marshmallows.
ORIGRAMI
Origrami is really rather special if, like us, you hanker after a little retro in your life. Get your Instagram photos printed onto custom Polaroids or onto a roll of film. Retroprint are double-sided Polaroid-style prints. On each photo’s back, there’s the date, the photo description (with hashtags) and the number of likes received on the social media site. If you geo-tag the image, a map of the location will be printed on the back of the photo. This Sydney-based website offers free regular airmail shipping worldwide without a minimum spend required. We like it a lot. origrami.com.
INSTAJUNCTION

WRAP.ME
How about designing your very own personalised wrapping paper. Well wrap.me has made this possible. Just upload thirty photos from Instagram, Facebook or your desktop, arrange the photos and then create wrapping paper. You can order your artwork either by the sheet or roll.
