Travel Tips

Whether looking to gift loved ones with thoughtful, but easy-to-achieve, mementos from special family moments and vacations or just eager to upgrade some of the personal touches in your home, printing photos is easier than you think. It’s the DIY without all the human error and frustration.

 

Display your own images from your family vacation or gift others with personal photos in stylish design with companies like Parabo Press. Operating out of San Francisco, in collaboration with photo professionals Photojojo and Zoomin, Parabo brings high-quality, affordable and stylish prints from your tablet, mobile phone, social media and cameras to home décor.

 

Also, a perfect gift idea to work on with the kids, the chic prints can be from them for other members in the family. Parabo Press allows for enough creativity and customization for the kids to feel involved and a part of the gift-giving process this holiday season with friends and family.

 

Square prints are among the most popular design options offered and the most affordable. The square prints are a great gift idea for teens and older kids to decorate their own rooms; for them to gift to friends; or to personalize any room in the house. The kids will love the clip prints dangling from string lights in their rooms. Users receive 25 four-inch square prints for $16 and receive their Instagram photos ready for the wall.

 

For those with an arsenal of vacation photos and family memories to showcase, gifting hard- and soft-cover photo books may be your best bet. Books range from $25–35 and make for unique and personalized keepsakes and thoughtful gifts for anyone. Customers can completely design their own project, choose from a template or confer with a professional.

 

For those just looking to upgrade your own walls with artwork and unique designs, shop by the fine art section. Pick an artsy design for the kids’ bedrooms, college dorms or your own adult children’s homes — or, just gift yourself and elevate your interior décor.

 

Parabo prints on high-quality paper and offers custom framing options, so each design feels like a work of art. Gift each other with personalized calendars and a wide variety print style with a personal photo and preserve a moment for years to come.

 

The wide array of printing capabilities on Parabo Press extends to its app as well, which makes print ordering, designing and tracking easily accessible for on-the-go snapping and ordering.

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet

United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
