Pros and cons
Colorland
Pros
- Starting price of £0.09 puts Colorland at position 2 of 90 among the brands compared on entry price.
- Personalization is available and the catalogue runs to personalized, photo gifts and gift boxes, covering gift boxes and photo gifts in one place.
- A satisfaction guarantee of 100 days gives a long window to raise a problem with a made-to-order item.
Cons
- Next day delivery is not offered, so anything tied to a fixed date has to be ordered well ahead.
- Shipping of £6.99 to £8.99 lands on top of items priced from £0.09, and on a small order the delivery charge can outweigh the item.
- The range stops at personalized, photo gifts and gift boxes, while CEWE also lists gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts, so cards and gift cards are the gap.
Mixbook
Pros
- Personalization is offered across the range, which spans personalized, photo gifts and cards.
- Returns run 90 days, wide enough to catch a spelling error or a print fault before a gift is used.
- Delivery covers AU, CA and GB, so the shop reaches the US and the UK as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands.
Cons
- Next day delivery is not offered, so a same-week gift needs a different shop.
- Shipping is charged on top of the product, at $8.99 to $15.99 on an order.
- Support runs on chat, email and help centre only, with no phone line among the options.
Who each suits
Colorland
Who it suits
- Gift buyers who want a photo, name or message on the item rather than a ready-made present.
- Price-led shoppers who can absorb £6.99 to £8.99 on delivery to keep the item cost at £0.09.
- Buyers in the United Kingdom, PL and DE who want gift boxes and photo gifts from one storefront.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs an item in hand tomorrow, because next day delivery is not offered and the choice narrows when the date is fixed.
- Shoppers who want cards and gift cards in the same range, since CEWE lists gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts while Colorland lists personalized, photo gifts and gift boxes.
- Buyers outside GB, PL and DE, which are the markets the brand lists.
Mixbook
Who it suits
- People buying a printed photo gift and a matching card in one order.
- Shoppers who order well ahead of a birthday or family milestone, given there is no next day delivery.
- Buyers in Australia, CA and GB who want the same catalogue in their own market.
Who should look elsewhere
- Bourbon Concierge, whose range is gift boxes and personalized rather than printed photo products.
- WristbandExpress.com, if the order is a single custom item and cards or gift cards are not needed, since its list is personalized.
- CEWE, if you want gift boxes alongside your photo gifts, since it also covers gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts.

Questions about each
Colorland
How cheap is a Colorland gift to start with?+
Items start at £0.09, a low entry point for a personalized gift. Colorland holds position 2 of 90 on starting price among the brands compared, so the headline figure is not a narrow loss leader. The number that decides the order is the delivered total, because delivery sits on top of the item price.
What does Colorland charge for delivery?+
Shipping runs £6.99 to £8.99 and is added to the order rather than folded into the item price. On a basket sitting at the £0.09 entry point, that charge is a large share of what you actually pay. Larger orders spread the same charge across more items, which is why a multi-gift basket works out cheaper per gift than a single small order.
Mixbook
What does the cheapest Mixbook product cost?+
The entry price is €14.99, and it applies to the smallest items in the range, such as a single card or a small print. Larger pieces, including photo books and calendars, cost more, so the entry figure is the floor rather than a typical spend. Buyers budgeting a gift should treat it as a starting point.
How much is delivery on top of the product?+
Delivery is charged separately from the product price, with shipping costs $8.99 to $15.99 on an order. The band is fixed rather than worked out from weight, so a small card and a large photo book can carry the same delivery charge. Added to €14.99, it sets the floor for what a small gift actually costs to send.
