What Makes It Uncommon

Ah, nostalgia. Give yourself a double dose with this grown-up, just-for-you version of one of childhood's greatest gadgets. You're the view master now.

  • Assemble snapshots of your favorite memories and add them to your very own reel using the redemption code included with your viewer.
  • Once you receive your made-to-order reel, pop it in the viewer and marvel at baby's first steps, or your favorite beach at sunset, or... well, whatever else you want immortalized.
  • Keep up to 10 reels safe, organized, and ready for memory reliving by pairing your viewer with the Wooden Collector's Edition Reel Storage.
  • Please note: Optional wooden storage unit only mimics the shape of the viewer. It is not functional as a viewer and does not come with a redemption code.
  • Made in Oregon. Wooden holder made in India.


Not to worry—those aren't accidental duplicates or extra spaces. The seven pairs of images on the reel are purposely placed across from one another to create independent views for your left and right eyes.

Got a dad who likes to keep all sentimental memories? Surprise him this Father's Day with family pictures he adores the most.

Fun college graduation gift

Oorder arrived quickly and as described. Made for a fun gift for my nephew's college graduation.Process for ordering custom reels was also pretty easy.


This is such a cute gift! Highly recommend!

I got this for a friend who just had a baby and got the first set of photos of the newborn, it was a very special and super cute gift and will continue to get photos made for each birthday!


Great nostalgic gift!

An old-school way to view photos - and even more awesome because of being able to create personalized reels. This was a fun gift to create and it was a hit for the birthday person and everyone else, too. I took off a star because of some difficulty with getting my reels ordered, but ultimately everything arrived in time for the birthday party as I had hoped/intended. The site warns about allowing enough time for processing and shipment - heed their warning!


Perfect!

I got this product as a gift for my partner's and my 7 year anniversary and his 40th birthday. The viewer works perfectly with the free reel I had made filled with seven photos from the seven years we've been together. The only part that stinks is the fact that I have to keep it a secret from him for four months until his birthday!! It's so wonderful that it makes me cry every time I use it.


So Fun

Such a fun gift. Just a gift. Definitely not something you need but for us millennials, the nostalgia is priceless.


Great Gift Item

I bought this to give as a birthday gift. Fun gift, well done reel.


Cute and personal

It's a fun gift that is both sentimental and unique. You can purchase additional photo slides on the redemption site.


I have bought this product several time - with good reason

This is a fun retro gift that is perfect for weddings, baby showers, birthays, etc. It is so easy to create wheels with fun photos. It is a gift I ALWAYS make for baby showers so kiddos will see what their parents looked like when they were babies. For weddings to see how the happy couples time line of how they met. Older people reflect fondly on this gift and the younger group marvels at how cool it is.


Awesome

This was a birthday gift for my sister-in-law who loved these as a child. I was so excited to find this to where she could add her own pictures. She isn't the easiest person to buy for, but she absolutely loved this. Thank you!!!


Most Creative Gift I've EVER Given!

What I love about this gift is that it doesn't stop with what's in the box, but you can add additional reels whenever! My partner loved it, and we get to share memories in a cool analog way between us and friends! Bravo Uncommon Goods! #sweepstakes

After photo submission, can I have a finished reel shipped to Hong Kong?

Verified reply from Justin

The finished reels ship all over the world. Please note that many countries charge their citizens an import tax or duty fee for purchasing items outside of their country. These taxes are collected during the delivery by the shipper on behalf of the customs department (some countries also allow it to be paid online or over the phone). All countries are different, so we do not know the laws, tax percentages, or fees charged in your area. Therefore, we always recommend that customers outside of the USA research their local import fees and laws so that they are prepared.


How do I submit pictures to complete my purchase for the view master?

Verified reply from Angelica

Once you physically receive your viewer, check inside the Reel Viewer box for a code to redeem one free reel. The code will be located on a card or on the included reel in the reel slot. Head over to their website that is on the card, create an account, and input the code. From there you will upload your images to create your reel.


When I submit the photos can I choose the order? For example, if I wanted the last photo to say, "Will you marry me?" Can I be ensured that would be last?

Verified reply from Jen

Great question, once you receive your Reel Viewer you would be prompt to a different vendor to set up the frames, the frames are able to be arranged the way you wish. Great idea!


Can I buy more reels after I have purchased the viewer? If so, how do I do so?

Verified reply from Jen

Sure can! Just go to our website and click the drop down menu and select "Additional Reel Redemption Code"


Why does the Reel viewer say for ages over 13 years? It seems like the old Viewmasters could be used by younger ages. Is there something different about this one that could not be used by a 3 or 4 year-old?

Verified reply from Jen

The age recommendation is due to the nature of the gift. The gift is to be able to see photos of loved ones, or events. The viewmasters from back then were geared toward children because of the nature of the photos telling a story with animated characters. Besides that, there's no big difference. Great question!


can you have the viewfinders branded with company logo? Is there a minimum order of viewfinders and reels? Can you order a certain number of the same reel?

Verified reply from Itamar

At this moment these view finders are not customizable. You may order however many viewers as you'd like. Please contact our corporate orders page for further assistance or email us at help@uncommongoods.com.


Is it possible to add slides from a power point on here? Slides with photos and words in one. We are thinking of using this to use as a kind of impact report for a donor of our organization.

Verified reply from Angelica

Yes, as long as each slide is saved as a JPEG, you can upload it to have on the reel.


Does the Collectors Edition Reel Storage come with a viewer/reel? Or is that just for the wooden reel storage holder?

Verified reply from Dayle-Marie

The Collectors Edition Reel Storage is just for the wooden reel storage holder. The reel viewer is sold separately.


Can you purchase a reel to customize without buying the view master?

Verified reply from Jasmine

Yes! You would click the drop down and pick "Additional Reel Redemption Code"


Some of the photos show reels with 14 images and the details mentioned that the real comes with seven. Exactly how many images come on the real that is included with the viewer?

Verified reply from Coralie

Hi there! You'll see the same image directly across from one another because the way the viewer is designed requires you to look in with each of your eyes independently. Therefore, you need a left and right image for each frame, hence why you see 14 images.
