Why A Personalized Photo Book Makes The Perfect Gift For Parents

A personalized photo book makes an ideal gift for any loved one celebrating a special event. A wedding, birth, baptism, birthday, graduation or even Christmas; photo books are the perfect gift for saving those cherished memories.

Nothing is more personal than giving a personalized photo book with meaningful pictures in it. Personalized photo books are about sharing memories of the people and places that are important to your friends and family.

Everyone has mountains of old pictures stored away in boxes, pictures that haven't seen the light of day in years. Nowadays, instead of locking our pictures away in an old shoe box, we store them on our computers. Now, if you are anything like me, you look at those pictures about as often as you look at the ones stored in the shoe box in the back of your closet!

Imagine how frequently you would look at those very same pictures, pictures that hold all those special memories for you, if they were in a smart looking photo book that you kept on the coffee table in your living room.

What a wonderful gift idea.

Imagine the fun you could have if you had a photo book of the family vacation you could quickly pick up, to show friends how your "better half" made a complete fool of themselves on the beach or in the night club!

Think about the happiness a photo book of the children would give to their grand parents. You could rest assured they would love it and it would almost certainly take pride of place in their home!

What about the god parents? The possibilities are endless!

A Photo book really is the perfect way to record those special moments in your life, big one in a lifetime events like weddings, births and baptisms.

Photo books are also surprisingly affordable, with prices normally ranging from as low as $10 for a small basic 20 page book up to $150 or more for a large 100 page book.

The quality of photo books can vary widely between suppliers, so there are a few things buyers need to be aware of:

1.     Try to avoid "glue bound" books. Although they look and feel fine when you first receive them, after even relatively light use, they tend to come apart. This is especially true in warmer climates where humidity plays havoc with the glue.

2.     Look for a "Stitch Bound" photo book. A stitch bound book will allow you to spread the book out flat so you can flip through the pages without having the binding crack.

3.     Try to stick with at least a 157gsm or higher premium paper.

4.     Look for a web store that offers easy drag and drop picture placement, controllable text placement and a good choice of themes and backgrounds.

When you design your photo book it is worth remembering that you should have the option to order multiple copies. That means it's pretty easy for you to make gifts for more than one person. All you need to do is change some of the text to create individually personalized photo books for as many people as you want.

If you make the right choices, you will have a photo book that will bring great pleasure to you and your family for years to come, plus, it will look great on your coffee table!

Conclusion

Photo books are a wonderful gift idea for those difficult to buy for people, especially parents and grand parents.

The one thing you can be certain of is a photo book with pictures of the grand children in it will not only be well received, it will take pride of place in the home and bring them a ton of enjoyment as they show off the grand kids to their friends and neighbors!
