Here's yet another offline use for all of those digital photos you've been storing on Webshots, Flickr, iPhoto or the like.

Photo lunchbox
Ogg Studio

The photo lunchbox from Ogg Studio is $35 for one photo, $45 if you want a photo on each side. Yes, each photo can be different. BabyGadget points out that kids love things with pictures of themselves; so maybe this is a good gift idea for one of the little egoists in your life. Ogg will also put artwork on the box.

Hopefully, you will find an image of something more inspirational than your dog or child to flash in the lunchroom.
