Best Christmas present this year.

 I was searching for a gift for my kid for this year, and its so difficult to find them gifts after a certain age because they have everything they need and they don’t really know what they want either. I knew that my daughter always wanted a Polaroid camera but she wanted the digital one where you can pick the pictures to print, but in my opinion it wasn’t a very good idea because she’s always taking pictures on her phone. 

A few weeks ago I was watching my favourite youtuber for her Christmas gift goodies and she was talking about the Polaroid Zip portable printer and I was so happy I found something I knew my daughter would love and use. 






So we bought the printer and we were so excited we gave it to her early and she absolutely loves it. I honestly think it’s the best gift for anyone because we all take pictures al the time but no one prints them anymore so they just sit on our phones or computers but this way some of the best photos can be printed and will appear in the photo album or in collages or in a diary. 


The best part of this is the Zink paper it prints on can double as a sticker as well you can peel the back off and stick it on anywhere!

After buying the printer you need to download the Polaroid zip app onto your smartphone or tablet. The app has 6 access buttons:

  1. Quick Print
  2. Edit Print
  3. Secret View
  4. Collage
  5.  Name Card
  6.  My Zip
They each have the option of either going to your gallery or to the camera if you want to take and print a picture straight away. You connect the printer and the app via Bluetooth and use the My
Zip area to check the printer’s status.

  1.  Quick print is an option if you’ve got a picture ready to print straight away or if you have previously edited it and you’re ready to print now. You will be able to pick the amount of that picture you'd like to print
  2.  Edit Print this option allows you to pick a single picture and edit the photo before printing. You can add stickers to it, resize the image, add effects, rotate and draw on it.
  3.  Secret View allows you to edit pictures and save them into that section and come back and edit it at a later time. You can also add text in this setting, stickers a voice message, a contact and a URL. 
  4. Collage: Here you can choose pictures to create a collage, you can add up to 9 images however you’ve got to remember the print size for the printer is about 2”x3” so if you do choose to print 9 images as a collage they will be fairly small.
  5. Name Card: You can create a name card with your picture on it, add your details and use it as a label
    for maybe laptops, phones, luggage tags and any other uses you need. Could be very useful for friends who are teachers and need to label students books!
  6. My Zip: Allows you to check your printer’s status, where to buy more Zink paper and has a device manual.


It’s such an amazing gift; my daughter has started a photo book where she is sticking in memories from the year, it’s so easy to use and lightweight so you can bring it with you anywhere. You can also get it in a variety of colours to suit the person you’re buying for or alternatively if you’re buying it for more than one person in the same household they wont forget whose is whose. This is the perfect gift for anyone from scrap bookers to photo lovers and so many more.
