SHOP NOWAffordability is the whole point of ASDA Photo.

This guide covers ASDA Photo’s six strongest Christmas and New Year gifts, with confirmed prices, what to actually expect from each one, and real customer stories about buying these as gifts.

1. Canvas Prints
ASDA Photo sells six canvas styles: Gallery Canvas (the bestseller, wraps your photo around the frame edges), Slim Canvas (thinner, lighter, more minimalist), Collage Canvas, Panoramic Canvas, Retro Canvas, and a Same-Day Canvas option.
| Style | Price |
|---|---|
| Slim Canvas | From £39 |
| Gallery Wrapped Canvas | From £45 |
| Same-Day Canvas | From £45 |
| Collage Canvas | From £64 |
| Panoramic Canvas | From £64 |
| Retro Canvas | From £64 |
Quality. Printed on 350gsm canvas with HD inks, hand-stretched in the UK over a 38mm solid wood frame (18mm on the Slim range). Sizes run from 10×10″ up to 60×40″.
Delivery. The most popular sizes (10×8″ through to 30×20″, plus all Slim Canvases) qualify for free same-day Click & Collect in 1 hour. Other sizes take up to 5 working days to collect, or arrive by next-day delivery from £4.99.
Gift ideas. A large Gallery Canvas suits parents or a couple, a Retro or Collage Canvas suits a sibling who wants several photos at once, and a Slim Canvas works well as a smaller, budget-friendly gift for a colleague or friend’s first home.
What customers say. One reviewer said their canvas, ordered just a few days before, arrived well-packed with a high-quality print and nicely finished look. Another described being pleasantly surprised at how quickly a canvas arrived after ordering.

2. Photo Albums
Nine album styles, priced individually rather than as a single “from” figure, since they vary widely by capacity and cover.
| Album | Price |
|---|---|
| Leatherette Photo Album | From £6 |
| Camera Slip-In Photo Album | £10 |
| Paw Print Pet Photo Album | £8.50 |
| Hello Baby Photo Album | From £8.50 |
| Scrapbook Craft Photo Album | From £9 |
| Love Heart Photo Album | £11 |
| Utah Photo Album (Black) | From £12.50 |
| Utah Photo Album (Silver) | From £12.50 |
| Collage Photo Album | From £18 |
Quality. These are traditional slip-in and self-adhesive albums for storing physical prints, not photo books with printed pages, a genuinely different product to the photo books on Photobox or My Picture. Several are built around a specific occasion (the Hello Baby and Paw Print albums, for instance).
Gift ideas. The Hello Baby album suits a new parent, the Paw Print album suits a pet owner, and the Leatherette or Utah albums make a simple, affordable gift for grandparents who’d rather hold physical prints than scroll a phone.
3. Photo Cushions
This is ASDA Photo’s largest personalised range by far, 45 products at last count, spanning collage cushions, name cushions, and occasion-specific designs including the DAD Letters cushion and the 4 Photos & Text Collage Cushion named in this brief.
| Cushion | Price |
|---|---|
| Small Photo Cushion | £17 |
| Personalised Floral Cushion | £23 |
| In Loving Memory Photo Cushion | £23 |
| DAD Letters Photo Cushion | £24 |
| 4 Photos & Text Collage Cushion | £24 |
| Jigsaw Puzzle Photo Cushion | £24 |
| Heart Photo Collage Cushion | £24 |
| 8 Photos & Icon Collage Photo Cushion | £24 |
| Same-Day Suede Photo Cushion | From £27 |
Quality. Available in polyester, canvas, and suede, in sizes from 12″ to 24″, including square, rectangular, heart, and circular shapes. Covers are removable and machine-washable on a gentle cycle.
Delivery. Many cushions qualify for free 1-hour Click & Collect, with next-day delivery available across the whole range.
Gift ideas. A DAD Letters cushion suits Father’s gifting occasions generally, a collage cushion suits someone who can’t choose a single photo, and the In Loving Memory cushion is specifically designed as a sensitive, personal memorial gift.
What customers say. One customer ordered a cushion as a Christmas gift for their brother and his wife, describing it as brilliant quality that arrived very quickly, then went on to order two more cushions for Mother’s Day gifts for their mother and mother-in-law, both arriving quickly with photo quality they called brilliant. Another reviewer called their cushion very well made, with excellent print quality at a great price.

4. Photo Calendars
Worth flagging directly: ASDA Photo’s own calendar page carries a genuine internal inconsistency, the page’s meta title says “Photo Calendars 2027,” but the visible heading on the same page currently reads “Personalised Photo Calendars 2026.” This looks like a page mid-update for the new year. Check the live page before publishing this article, since the correct year may change by the time it goes live.
Five formats are available: A3, A4, Family Planners (for 2 to 6 people), Slim, and Desktop.
| Format | Price |
|---|---|
| Desktop Calendar | From £11 |
| Slim Calendar | From £12 |
| A4 Calendar | From £23 |
| Family Planner | £24 |
| A3 Calendar | From £26 |
Quality. Printed on premium glossy paper, with a choice of grid, list, or panoramic month layouts. You can start the calendar from any month, and wall calendars arrive with a hook ready for hanging.
Gift ideas. A Family Planner (choose the version matching your household size) suits a busy family, while a Desktop Calendar suits a colleague or a grandparent’s kitchen counter.
What customers say. One long-standing customer said they get a personalised ASDA calendar every year, for themselves and their parents, and call it a great gift and great quality. Another described their year as “another high quality, super-fast delivery.” One reviewer specifically noted their calendar was “nice quality” after ordering it as their mum’s annual gift.
5. Photo Mugs
Six mug types, described directly on ASDA Photo’s own pages.
| Mug type | Price |
|---|---|
| Ceramic Photo Mugs (standard designs) | From £13 |
| Collage Photo Mugs | From £13 |
| Glitter Photo Mugs | From £13.50 |
| Heat-Changing (Magic) Mugs | Confirm live price |
| Personalised Enamel Mugs | Confirm live price |
| Personalised Name Mugs | Confirm live price |
Quality. Most mugs are white ceramic and hold 10oz, the same as a standard cup of tea, and are dishwasher and microwave safe. Heat-changing, glitter, enamel, and gold-rimmed mugs are not dishwasher or microwave safe. Enamel mugs come in a larger 17oz size and are described as suited to camping and festivals.
Gift ideas. A heat-changing Magic Mug suits someone who’ll enjoy the reveal moment, an enamel mug suits someone outdoorsy, and a Collage Mug works well as a “morning routine” gift packed with multiple family photos.
What customers say. One reviewer specifically praised the 17oz enamel mug, noting ASDA Photo is one of the few sites offering a genuinely decent-sized mug, and found it easy to upload and resize their photo. Another described ordering a photo cushion and mug together as a combined gift, calling both “very easy to create.”
6. Photo Prints in Gift Packs
Five small, low-cost gift pack options, printed on 220gsm photo paper and supplied in recyclable gift packaging.
| Gift pack | Price |
|---|---|
| Photo Booth Strips (pack of 3) | £3 |
| Photo Strip Magnets (pack of 3) | £4.50 |
| Square Photo Prints (pack of 10) | £10 |
| Square Photo Magnets (pack of 10) | £15 |
| Retro Photo Magnets (pack of 10) | £15 |
Gift ideas. These work best as stocking fillers or a small add-on gift alongside something larger, magnets for a fridge-loving relative, or Photo Booth Strips for a fun, low-cost gift for a teenager or friend.
What customers say. One reviewer described loving the photo magnets they’d ordered for their work locker, noting only a small trapped air bubble on a couple of them, otherwise perfect.
What Customers Actually Say
Checked directly against ASDA Photo’s live Trustpilot page: a 4-star rating from more than 7,500 reviews (most recent snapshot checked). Real reviews describe genuine gift-giving moments: a cushion bought for a brother and sister-in-law at Christmas, cushions bought for a mother and mother-in-law for Mother’s Day, an annual calendar bought for both the customer and their parents, and Christmas cards ordered for a son’s basketball team.
Worth being balanced about, since not every experience is smooth: some reviews describe delivery delays around Christmas specifically, and at least one recent, serious case in 2026 involved a print for a funeral arriving separately from its frame with no clear warning at checkout. If you’re ordering something time-sensitive or emotionally significant, order well ahead of the date you need it, and use Click & Collect where the item qualifies, since that removes the delivery-timing risk entirely.
