When displaying your favorite photos around the house or workplace, of course you can always use picture frames. But a really cool way that many people don’t think of is using a photo stand! Here’s an example of one:

Seahorse Photo Card Holder Jeweled Blue

Picture frames can be more formal and are best used for family portraits and such, but these photo stands are great for casual or fun photos. For example, you can display 3 or 4 of your favorite pictures from your vacation to the Caribbean! The seahorse photo stand (pictured above) is perfect for holding vacation or beach pictures. It gives the photo a fun theme that most picture frames can’t. Also, alternating your work desk with frames and photo stands will give it a more creative, diverse feel.

They also make great gifts! Here’s one that would be a great present for any golf enthusiast.

Golf Bag Memo Holder Enameled Silver

Here’s an up close look at the base of the stand.

This golf photo stand, and others, is made of pewter and hand-painted enamel. The bottom is covered with felt so it won’t scratch tabletops.

In addition to holding photos, you can also use them to hold business cards or memos. The spiral shaped clip makes it extremely easy to stick one or multiple pieces of paper in the holder!

sturdy and convenient!

Here’s the gold photo stand shown holding a favorite picture of mine, as well as a note reminding me of my dentist appointment! If you have these stands on the edge of your desk, you can easily use them to hold reminders of meetings, appointments, etc. They would definitely help brighten up an otherwise boring desk.

This one is my personal favorite!

Photo Card Holder Tropical Fish Coral Jeweled

This particular stand is even adorned with Swarovski crystals and has a gold plated trim! It stands at about 8 inches tall and comes in a satin lined gift box.

Tropical Fish Photo Card Holder Jeweled Turquoise Blue

This fish photo stand also comes in a red and gold variety. And also the price is amazing! Personally, I think $10 is a great deal for such a high quality item.

Even if these photo stands aren’t your type, they make great gifts and party favors. If you have any friends who are avid photographers, this would give them a creative and colorful way to display their favorite photos.
