Product Review

A Truly Unique Gift. We’ve all been guilty of gift giving gaffes at one time or another. We’ve bought people clothes that weren’t quite right (like the turtle neck sweater for aunt Martha who lives in Florida), kitchen gadgets that never see the light of day (what did mom do with that fondue set?) and countless gift cards and bottles of wine that can seem so last minute and thoughtless. The pressure to find the right gift can be colossal, but it doesn’t have to be. So before you recycle an old present or spend a small fortune trying to hand make one, check out Creativephotobooks.com. They will save you the angst of gift shopping panic attacks and long lines at the mall.

What is it? A photobook is a professionally crafted, hardbound, published book made from your own photos. More than just an ordinary photo album, this one of a kind book opens with a dedication page that you have written, and then tells your story one full page at a time. (the creative geniuses at the company are ready to assist you should you experience writers block) Any occasion can be made into a photobook. You can commemorate a child’s graduation or special achievement, your wedding or a loved one’s landmark birthday. Maybe you are a great photographer and would like to showcase your photos in a coffee table stylebook.

How it works. First choose a theme like your parent’s anniversary. Start collecting about 15 - 20 photos in a variety of stages of their lives such as babies, teenagers, their wedding, and their children, then the most recent one of them. Digital photos at the highest resolution yield the best results however, they can scan your photos. Their consulting service takes it from here working with you to create your masterpiece book. It’s that simple! And what a surprisingly affordable way to create a family history book that will be treasured for generations.

Plus, there are a myriad of other products like photo albums, journals, scrapbook albums and 3-ring albums that can be personalized with that one special photo on the cover and your choice of text on the spine.,

Why you need it? Because you are about to re-gift the Chia Pet you’ve had in your closet since 1985. Because you’re not crafty enough to decoupage a fruit bowl. Because you want your gift to say I thought about you.
