Creativity isn't always the act of invention. Sometimes, it's the art of dreaming up a subtle spin — of finding that little something to make the familiar feel fresh. And it's this kind of creativity that we see day in and day out from our community.

So whether it's taking our photo books in unexplored directions — or using our displays in brand new ways — it's high time we tipped our hats to the out-of-the-box ideas we see every day.

Here are ten creative ways we would have never thought to use our products... all courtesy of customers like you.


Layflat Photo Book

Cookbook

A time-honored cookbook packs the right balance of flavor and aesthetic — which is exactly why the culinary in our community choose the Layflat Photo Book. Ranging from 20 pages all the way up to 70, it offers plenty of space to document old family recipes, dishes you've dreamed up, and just about everything in between. Plus, it lays completely flat for fuss-free cooking.

Pro tip: You'll need to save your cooking directions as a .jpg file, so you can upload them to pages in the editor.


Brass & Wood Display Box

Wedding Advice Box

Put an elevated, personalized spin on the classic wedding advice box. The Brass & Wood Display Box features your favorite photo in the front and can hold up to 50 prints in the back, giving you plenty of space to store well-wishes from friends and family. Just leave a stack of prints and pens next to each box, so guests can jot their "advice" on the back of a print. When they're done, they simply slip it in the back.


Wooden Quote Box

Houseplant Display Box

Artifact Uprising Wooden Quote Box used for succulent houseplants

What we designed as our ideal box for storing prints could be a new home for some of your favorite plants. Our community has used the Wooden Quote Box for succulents, Hoyas, and more — each using the lid in different ways to create a unique display. Best of all, there's no need to look for pots, since the base of your plants are hidden by the walls of the box.

Pro tip: Use prints and other props along with your plants to add variety and vibrance.
