• Discount: 25% Off Samsung, iPhone and iPad Cases
• Expiry: 16th June 2013

Samsung and Apple are the kings of mobile devices. They make the best, they sell the most. There is a problem with both of these phones though: they’re fragile. They’re fragile in different ways though. Samsung phones are fragile like knee pads are fragile. If you fall, the knee pads are going to get scratched up. They still work and if you don’t like that they are scratched, you buy a new one. If your Samsung phone gets scratched, it’s probably going to be on the removable plastic back. You can buy a new one and toss the old one. The iPhone is like a diamond. It’s pretty but if you damage it you need to buy a new diamond. You can’t just replace a part for a few bucks. Same thing for iPads but to a lesser extent.

But regardless of which phone you have, you should protect it. Black’s has tons of great cases and they are all 25% off with the coupon code above! For more deals from Black’s check out our Black’s Coupon Codes!

Shipping varies, depending on your location.

There are a bunch of different options you can get with these photo books and the price will vary accordingly. For example, a 42-page, 8″x11″ hardcover photo book is $64.63 ($48.47 with discount). The softcover version of that is $49.63 ($37.22 with discount).

These photo books are pretty cool. You can use the online editor or Black’s desktop software to design it. It can just be solid pages of photo like the stacks of albums your parents have from the 70′s where it’s a very uniform layout of a certain number of pictures or it could be templates with coloured or designed backgrounds like a scrapbook.

Shipping is free on orders of $200 or more. For orders under $200, a shipping fee will be applied, depending on where you are having it shipped to.

Passport fees are going up on July 1st, 2013, actually quite a bit. The child fee will be more than double the current fee and the adult one will go up by over $30. There is a new 10-year passport coming out, but the cost for that will be $160. So now is the time to take advantage and get your passport renewed. I’m about to go upstairs and check my family’s passports right now. I know one of my kid’s passports has expired, but I want to see how close to the deadline everyone else is. With children, it is great to have a very current passport so the picture is an actual representation of them.

This is a great deal if you need to print some photos out, because although Black’s passport photos might be a little pricier than other places, you’ll save $20 on photo printing.

Got a photo you’d love to display on your wall? Well then why not have a canvas print of it made at Black’s?

Click here to get 30% off canvas prints @ Blacks.ca

• Coupon Code: DAYFORDADS30
• Discount: 30% off 8″ x 12″ canvas prints
• Expiry: 16th June 2013

The deal is for an 8″ x 12″ canvas print and they suggest the picture you put on be it 1010 x 1330 pixels. Its regular price is $59.99, so you save $18, making the grand total $41.99.

This is actually quite cool. I’m sure we’ve all seen these canvas pictures of a New York skyline or a sunflower. That’s what this is, but with your picture. It could be a picture of your kid to hang in your office or a great picture you took on a vacation that you want to put in your living room to remember forever.

You can even add designs and layouts so you can put multiple pictures on it with a nice background. Some of them even have text fields. It’s a great option to customize it for the room you want to put it in. It is also good if you’re having troubles picking one picture to put up. This way you can put multiple pictures on one canvas.

Shipping is free on orders of $200 or more. For orders under $200, a shipping fee will be applied, depending on where you are having it shipped to.

For only $5.99 including shipping, you can make a custom photo card with six photos and have it delivered right to your intended.

You aren’t going to get much better than this for a greeting for mom. Although those $4 cards you get from Hallmark are lovely and sentimental, nothing beats your own work and your own memories. Plus, this may end up being even cheaper once you add a stamp to your pre-made card.

It is also so simple to do. You just upload your photos from Facebook or Instagram or your computer, choose your cover stencil and wording and Black’s will print you out an accordion cord, put it in envelope and send it to your special person (in this case it could be Mom!). It takes about three to four business days to get the card sent out so don’t wait too long.

You know it will be good quality because Black’s in my opinion is simply the best for photo printing. You don’t even have to remember to send the card.

Black’s Canada is handing out free money for activating the new smartphone you were already going to get! What’s not to love?

• Click here to get your new smartphone AND $150 Visa Gift Card @ Black’s

All you have to do to get the $150 Visa gift card is activate a new Koodo plan or a two or three year Telus plan. If you happen to be going with Telus, Black’s will also throw in their “Prints for Life” package for as long as you have the plan. That gives you 1000 free prints per year. This is an in-store only deal but you’re gonna wanna go down to the store to look at the phones anyway.

I think Black’s is doing something very cool. It would be very easy for a photography store to go under nowadays. When your business has traditionally been printing photos and framing, the new digital era is kinda scary. They’ve done all the standard stuff that you need to do in that business but they have gone further. Instead of just accepting digital images and printing them off, they’ve expanded into digital picture frames and mobile devices among others. The mobile phone thing, I think, was their best move. They have realized that the new camera of the masses is the smartphone. With a good camera on your phone, you don’t really need to go get a camera anymore.

Black’s Canada has some great deals just in time for you to order something for Mother’s Day. Until the end of the month, get 30% off all photo books plus free design service, which means they’ll professionally design the book for you!

Click here to shop @ blacks.ca

• Coupon Code: LOVE4MOM30
• Discount: 30% Off Photo Books
• Expiry: 28th April 2013

What’s great about Black’s premium photo books is that they are so easy because they can design them for you! Normally, you’d pay $0.95 a page for this service, but right now you get it free and 30% off with your coupon code. You simply have to upload your photos, choose your theme and approve the finished book. They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee so you know you’ll love it. This is awesome if you just aren’t interested in putting in all that work, and Mom (or your wife) will never know someone else did it for you. After submitting your photos, it takes approximately three business days for the photo book to be completed. If you make any changes, add another two days. Then, it will take eight to sixteen business days for them to print and ship. This means if you want it for Mother’s Day, you might want to get cracking.

But, it gets better. If you have hundreds of photos that you really don’t feel like going through, send all of them in and the Black’s designers will choose the best photos and tell your story! You just need to give them a little bit of info about the events and the photos and what you are looking for and they will make your story come alive, maybe even better than you could have.

Choose from a huge number of sizes starting from $8.99.

Shipping depends on what you order.

With this deal, the free frame will be the equal value or the least expensive frame out of the four.  There are so many picture frames to choose from. This is a great deal with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day  coming up because framed pictures are always a great gift idea.

I like this black Chelsea frame that is just $7.99.  I could grab four of them for just $23.97 and save $7.99 total because I would only need to pay for three of them.  I could also grab a few different other frames and get the lowest value one for free if I wanted to mix it up a little bit.

As for the cost of shipping, they offer free shipping for orders of $200 or more. If you are ordering less, the cost will vary depending on how much you purchase.

The basic photo book did start at $11.99 and now starts at $8.99.  This is the base price, but it can go up when you choose from their wide range of bindings, sizes, and quality papers products.

Blacks Canada is offering 8×10 prints for only $1. This is an amazing deal if you have some prints you’d like to get enlarged.

• Click here to upload your photos @ Blacks Canada

This is a great deal, saving you $3.99 per print with Blacks’ regular price of an 8×10 enlargement at $4.99. Even Costco, who I find has the cheapest prints most of the time, charges $1.99 for their 8×10 prints.

I would say there is definitely a difference in quality between Costco and Blacks, and the people who I know who know photography choose Blacks, especially for enlargements when quality is a definite issue.

You probably have a ton of great family photos from Christmas you’d like to get enlarged and put in frames. Or, if you are like me,  you still haven’t enlarged your photos from your Fall photo shoot last year. I am also planning on doing a little at-home amateur photoshoot with my kids for Valentine’s Day where I put little lipstick kisses on my older kid’s cheeks and all over the baby. If I enlarge these pictures, this would make a great gift idea for Dad or grandparents for Valentine’s Day.

Blacks makes it super simple to upload your photos and pick them up within an hour at the store.

This sale is only on for a week, so get uploading!
