Need some inspiration?
Below are some ideas on how to create a book for that special someone.
Photobooks
As photobooks become more and more popular, people are becoming increasingly interested in photo book ideas for new ways to show off their photos. Photobooks are becoming the most popular form of personalized books. This is mostly because they allow for a high level of creativity, but also because they hold up better than photo albums and aren’t as painstaking to make as scrapbooks.
When it comes to putting your photos in a book, the sky’s the limit. Before you start making a photobook, answer the following questions to give yourself some direction and inspiration:
- What is the occasion? (father’s day, birthday, christmas, anniversary, etc)
- Who are the recipients? (husband, children, grandma, parents, etc)
- What should be included? (just pictures, or also clippings, art, letters, etc.)
Once you have a game plan, you can move forward with gathering the required materials and brainstorming. A thoughtful layout will give your photobook an even more personal touch.
Planner Book
Put a personalized touch on a daily calendar by creating a planner book. A planner makes a great gift for anyone, for any occasion. The great thing about making your own is that you can select separate photos for every month as well as front and back cover photos. In addition to pictures, you can autofill important dates for the recipient and chose the beginning and end dates.
This can add an extra personalized touch. For example, you may be making one for your daughter before she heads off to her freshman year at college. You can set the dates on the calendar to start after her high school graduation. Include important dates such as campus tours, information sessions, registration dates, her dorm move in date, when class begins, etc. Also, pre-fill everyone’s birthdays and other important dates for her. She can still be connected to home with a personalized planner to help her organize her freshman year. Include pictures of her family, her high school friends, sports, her favorite pet or anything else that reminds her of home.
The Customized Cookbook
Customized cookbooks are also becoming popular because they are a great way to easily document your family’s favorite recipes. Many recipes are handed down between generations, creating a special memory for family members. In addition to documenting family recipes, creating a customized cookbook also gives you a way to record your unique recipes. A customized cookbook makes a great gift for future generations of chefs when they leave the nest.
