The Time of Year to Give Smuggy Cheer
Happy Cyber Monday, Smuggers! The Gift of SmugMug is back.
The dishes are done and the tree’s all lit up. Now it’s time to get back to the office, dust off your keyboards and… start shopping for sales.
We know you’re scouring the ‘net looking for good deals, so we’ll make this one quick. 
What’s the Gift of SmugMug?
An easy way to give your photo nut in your life one, two, or three years of safe, unlimited SmugMug service. Unlimited uploads, worry-free subscription and peace of mind for their memories. What’s not to love?
We’ve brought the Gift of SmugMug back into our header, so you’re one click away from gifting that person that already has everything.
How much does it cost?
Depending on the plan, you can gift as little as $35, or three full years of Pro for $360. The more you buy, the more you save.
Look right here to see all the details on how it works.
Do I get anything?
You bet. Don’t forget that when you give them their own safe, unlimited website, you get $10 to go towards your own Smug Self. Now that’s good karma!

Share Photo Sharing: The New Gift of SmugMug
We’re happier than kids at Christmas to unveil the new (and very much improved) Gift of SmugMug:
Now anyone can buy their friends-in-need a gift, indeed. As long as your recipient doesn’t already have a SmugMug account, you can purchase one, two, or three-year subscription plans for that special someone.
You don’t need to have your own account… although existing SmugMuggers earn a $10 referral credit for each act of kindness.
Best of all, the more you buy, the more you save:
- 1-year plans save $5
- 2-year plans save 15%
- 3-year plans save 20%
To get started, just visit our homepage and click the new Give SmugMug link at the top. Current SmugMuggers will also find a new button at the top of their logged-in homepages and in their Control Panel.
We thought you may have additional questions, so check out our new help page that answers the most popular ones.
Here’s to gifting gorgeous galleries together,
