Tamera Mowry-Housley Curated A Collection Of Holiday Faves From VistaPrint That We’re Shopping All Season Long

Personalized holiday cards and gifts for everyone on your list.

Written by Becca Strassberg

There’s a reason the best gifters ask for your wish list well before holiday shopping season officially kicks off. It’s because they’re using these precious weeks before the holidays to source, shop, and wrap the holy grail gift that feels hand-picked just for you. Just ask award-winning host, author, actress, producer, and entrepreneur Tamera Mowry-Housley: “My holiday gifting style is all about thoughtfulness and personalization,” she tells Scary Mommy. “I love giving gifts that show I’ve put time into considering what the recipient would truly enjoy, whether it’s something practical or sentimental.”

That’s why Mowry-Housley turns to VistaPrint to create unique and personalized gifts that are tailor-made for the people she loves. With a wide range of products (and don’t forget the holiday cards!), VistaPrint is your ticket to a customized, memorable holiday without the lofty price tag.

“It’s so important to add a personal touch when it comes to gift giving,” Mowry-Housley shares. “VistaPrint has so many options that go beyond just gifts. They’re thoughtful, everyday reminders of how much I love my family and friends.”

Mowry-Housley’s first rule of the game? Start with the holiday card. VistaPrint has a seemingly endless selection of all types of cards to perfectly match your style. You can even complete your holiday cards with custom envelopes, envelope seals, and return address labels, on top of free recipient addressing, no less! Take inspiration from Mowry-Housley’s classic and festive designs or dress them up with custom touches like unique borders and foil accents to add extra seasonal flair.

And if you’ve yet to check ‘shopping’ off your holiday to-do list (hi, it’s me), you’re in luck. Even Mowry-Housley can relate!

“As a busy mom, I know how overwhelming gift giving can be, but VistaPrint makes it so much easier to get into the holiday spirit,” she shares. “They save me time and money, and the quality is always amazing.”

Below, explore Mowry-Housley’s favorite VistaPrint products to give this year and get a jump start on holiday shopping for everyone on your list. (And psst — you can use code TAMERA to get up to 50% off holiday cards, drinkware, wall art, and more on www.vistaprint.com!)

1. A Tumbler With A Personal Touch

Hydration! The holiday gift that keeps on giving. Nothing will inspire your giftee to drink water more than this 40-ounce stainless steel tumbler, easily emblazoned with a name, initials, or whatever saying best suits them.

Available in six colors, this dishwasher-safe beauty will keep beverages cold for hours. Consider it for the mom who’s always on the go or for the teenage daughter who bops from dance to soccer to driving lessons (eek!). You can upload your own graphic or browse one of VistaPrint’s templated designs.

2. A Custom Pillow Comfy Enough For Cuddling

Missing your loved ones? Send your long-distance family and friends a custom photo pillow of your favorite memory to snuggle, marathon-watch television with, or clutch during the scary parts of the movie. Available in two sizes — 14”x14” and 18”x18” — this plush pillow can bear any image of your choosing.

Remind your faves how much fun you can have — even apart — with a photo on one side and a silly (or sweet!) message on the other.

3. A Mug With Endless Sipping Potential

It’s not just holiday season: It’s soup season, too! And these adorable, customizable mugs serve as the perfect sippers for bubbling hot broccoli cheddar and mom’s famous chili. But since they’re dishwasher- and microwave-friendly, and have a capacity of 25 ounces, the versatile ceramic mugs could just as easily hold a hot latte or cup of tea.

Consider one for your work bestie who starts her day with a cup of oatmeal and then switches to coffee, and add a feel-good saying or inside joke design to make this surprise even more special.

4. A Carryall That Says It All

There’s no such thing as too many tote bags, particularly when they’re designed with you in mind. Made entirely of cotton canvas and available in either black or white, VistaPrint’s tote bag is ideal for the last-minute shoppers and schleppers in your life.

Take artwork from the budding child artists in the family, upload it, and order a handful of bags. That way, you’ll always have a personalized gift on hand for great aunts you didn’t expect to see and cousins who surprise you with something special — even if you agreed to forego the tradition this year.

5. A Framed Print That’s Ready To Display

We’ve yet to meet a single grandma or grandpa who doesn’t tear up when gifted a framed photo of their grandchild. VistaPrint offers six different frame styles in six different sizes, so you can mix and match until you find the perfect complement to that empty space on your recipient’s wall. Choose a photo that represents a special moment from the past year, or turn up the TBT with a sweet memory from long ago.

“My kids recently started fourth and sixth grade and their first day of school photos will definitely be ones we use to make our gifts extra special,” shares Mowry-Housley. “I’m so excited to send my kids’ grandparents a family photo that’s already framed and ready to hang!”

From holiday cards to ultra-personalized gifts, VistaPrint has totally reimagined what it means to give better this season (and beyond!).

And Mowry-Housley agrees: “Instead of generic items, VistaPrint lets me personalize gifts that reflect the recipient's personality, interests, or our shared memories.”
