The best Instagram photo gifts for Mother's Day

Cool photo gifts for mom tend to be a sure thing in the Mother's Day gift department. Since so many services have made it a snap to print incredible gifts directly from the photos you take on your Instagram account, we're all for taking advantage with one of these eight very cool ideas. -Liz Wooden photo album made for Instagram prints This one is made just for square photos--perfect, right? Great if she's got lots of her own photos, or fill the pages out leaving a few free for future memories. ($100, Lorgie on Etsy) Custom wooden photo prints Grab a favorite photo--I think sepia or black and white works beautifully with the wood grain--and Instathis will hook you up with a lovely gift that's ready to hang. No frame required. Or create a series of 4, say a recent family vacation, or one for each grand kid, and you not only have a bigger gift, you get a 25% discount. ($30 and up) mosaic photo book This may be the easiest photo book to make ever, because you don't have to make it at all. Install the free iOS app, pick 20 favorite pics and the rest is done for you. Plus the quality is terrific. ($20) retro print photos Pick your favorite 36 photos of mom with the kids or grandkids and put together this thoughtful gift of Polaroid-style prints. They'd look great all strung up on a clothesline, or just by themselves on a desk as a set of memories. ($21; about 2 weeks for shipping so hurry!) Edible chocolate photos Cocoagraph will accept any photo, not just from Instagram, but they happen to work exceptionally well. Mom might not want to eat her kids' faces...but perhaps photos of the garden is a fun substitute for flowers; or get the kids to make art work that says "I love you mom." Of course you'll have to then photograph it before you eat it. ($14 and up) Custom photo cell phone cases Case-Mate still has the widest selection of device cases from iPhones and Androids, to Kindles and Blackberries. Upload your photos and give a tech mama (or grandmama) one more way to show off her family. ($40+) Other favorite services include Tiny Prints  and Uncommon if you're an iPhone user. Custom Photo Tote Bag Stitchtagram lets you upload your photos onto totes, coin purses, pillows and clutches. But to make Mother's Day delivery, you have to order by today! ($76) Custom canvas prints Canvaspop does one of the best jobs we've found of converting those special photos into hanging artwork and they've just added a photo mosaic option. You can even pull in photos from your Facebook albums. If you go with the single photo option, just make sure the quality is awesome. Maybe a photo taken with a digital camera before you went all filter-y with it on Instagram. ($39.95+)
