If you’re anything like us, your phone is full of THOUSANDS of photos of you, your partner, your friends and definitely your kids. We love taking happy snaps and looking back over them later. But it seems gone are the days of physically having a photo to put in a frame, pin to the notice board of carry in your wallet… NOT ANY MORE! Memories are easier than ever to capture and hold onto forever, thanks to Fujifilm instax andtheir wide instant camera and printer range.
Our top picks are the sleek and stylish mini 40 , retro and bigger SQUARE SQ1 and the newly released mini Link 2 printer that connects to your smartphone.
We’ve been taking some lovely family snaps with one this past month and have LOVED having the photos too look at without the need for a smart phone to view them.
Here’s a little more about each model.
