As we inch closer to the end of 2016, it's not too early to start thinking about all the memories you made with your friends and family this year. Instead of letting photos of the year sit on your phone or Instagram feed, you should print them out to hang around your home or office. Many of the smartphone printers you'll see ahead are compatible with both iOS and Android and print out photos big enough to hang on your wall or store in your wallet. Check them out and either put them on a wish list for the holidays or treat yourself!
