Boudoir as a Gift: Gift Certificates, Albums & Gifts for Him

Boudoir makes a remarkable gift — but there are two very different versions of it, and people mix them up constantly. There’s giving someone else the experience, and there’s giving your partner the images. Here’s how each one works.

Short answer: you can gift a boudoir session to someone with a gift certificate (any amount, she books when she’s ready), or you can do a session yourself and gift your partner an album of the images. Both are available at Blushed in Salt Lake City, and gift certificates never expire in value.

Gifting the experience: gift certificates

A Blushed gift certificate is the safest way to gift boudoir to a friend, sister, daughter or partner — because she chooses her date, her sets and her images when she feels ready. You’re giving the experience, not scheduling her calendar. Certificates come in any amount and can go toward the session fee, images or artwork.

Gifting the images: an album for your partner

The classic anniversary, wedding-day or Valentine’s gift is doing a session yourself and handing your partner a printed album they never saw coming. It’s the one gift that’s genuinely just for the two of you — and it lands harder than anything you can buy in a store.

“I gave him the album on our anniversary. He went quiet, then just held it. Worth every penny.”

Timing it for a holiday

If the images are the gift, work backward: shoot at least a few weeks before the date so there’s time to choose photos and produce the album. Valentine’s, anniversaries and the December holidays all book up early — the sooner you reserve, the safer the deadline. If you’re giving a gift certificate instead, there’s no deadline at all; it waits until she’s ready.

Not sure which?

Gifting a nervous first-timer? Give the certificate and let her ease in — our first-time guide helps. Planning a surprise for your partner? A couples session or a solo session with an album is the move. Either way, text the studio and we’ll help you pick.
