Chocolates get eaten, socks get lost, and most gift cards end up in a drawer. But a photo book will be treasured for years. In this episode, I share 5 simple steps to make a photo book as a gift, from the first idea to the moment you hand it over. It works for Christmas, a birthday, an anniversary, or any time you want to give someone a gift full of memories. And no, your photos do not have to be perfectly organised before you start.


In this episode:

  • Why a photo book makes such a personal and lasting gift
  • The two questions to ask before you even look at a printer
  • Gift book ideas, from a trip you took together to family recipes
  • Why I never print a year book before the year is over
  • What to look for when you choose your photo book software and printer
  • My number one rule for choosing photos, and how to collect them without making duplicates
  • Why captions matter, and two design tips that can save you disappointment and money
  • The small job to do once your book arrives, so you do not end up with a new photo mess
