Glasses Direct are no longer good value for money. Most of the other sites offer an anti scratch coating included in the price. GD charge £10 extra. And plastic lenses without an anti scratch coating will become scratched very quickly. Try http://www.spex4less.com or http://www.nuglasses.co.uk Both are good, but I prefer nuglasses because they have a cool try on feature.

I use the spectacles.gb.com website, always been happy with them and they are good value, another thing is they have a huge range.

Andyp – I’m very happy with the Muji holder (see pics here), although it doesn’t stay closed if you know what I mean, but this doesn’t really matter much.

I did see quite a few other options but picked Muji because I could buy them singularly where as other had to be bought in multiple packs or were only available in America.

Let us know how you get on with the Muji “card holder”. I found it a bit stiff to take apart to start off with given what it is “designed” for, but it works well. I also have another tin that I bought off of Etsy with a different design – just a simple slide top. They both work well.

I haven't used Qoop yet, I'm still assembling my photos on Flickr before I go and order anything. I have used Lulu and CafePress and been very pleased with the results (a calendar and a photo poster so far, and soon a proper self-published book from Lulu). And they both have UK sections, help and pricing, although the physical production depends on the products as to where it's made. All this online publishing seems to work pretty well, and the integration with Flickr (and other sources) makes it painless. Everyone gets Thanet-based calendarsm mugs, mousemats and photobooks this Christmas, I reckon...

I’ve seen Qoop on Flickr but on first impressions I thought they were solely US based, but I think they do ship internationally so I’ll have to do a demo order with them to check it out.

Zumi, Have you used them?

oooh, that Muji ashtray looks the business! And you can explain that it's pronounced Moo-ji just so you can enjoy the bafflement on your victim's face... And as for photobooks, have you seen Qoop? They do photoprints, photobooks, posters, mousepads, puzzles and more - a sort of Flickr'd CafePress if you see what I mean.

Just LOL, really. That’s great. Fun, isn’t it?
