The custom Viewmaster reels are a brilliant idea and one that would be perfect for your best digital photos if they only brought the cost down. This would be a fun way to share your pictures.
While this blog tends to focus more on the worst rather than the best, I think this absolutely falls in the latter category. It’s a freaking View-Master! Not only that, but you can upload digital photos and create your own reel for $24.95!
A little background on this… As a child, my parents would often take us on road trips to national parks and monuments. The highlight of the trips was the View-Master reels that my parents would occasionally buy me from the gift shop since they were “educational”. I had an absolute crap load of these… Mount Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, the National Mall, Hoover Dam, She-Ra (DON’T YOU JUDGE ME!!!), Yellowstone, you name it!
Definitely going to order it. The big question is, what pictures do I want to View-Masterize? My first trip to Japan? College graduation? My wedding? Aw, who am I kidding, if they’ll allow it, I’ll probably just upload multiple pictures of my balls.

I was at a funky craft sale last weekend and one booth was selling these modern Viewmaster reels -- they all seemed rather peep-showish in nature but not porno if you understand my drift. You had to pay 25 cents to pre-view the reels. Spicier than I remember Viewmaster as being! They probably got their basic kit from Skymall, I bet.
It's a good idea that is due for a resurgence into our culture.
My parents had a ViewMaster camera (~1954). My entire childhood was photographed in 3-D.
Now THAT would be a cool gift.
