Gift Idea ?
Permalink Closed

I have a family members anniversary coming up in January, and I want to get them something special because it was kinda a rough year for them. I am broke, but was thinking of making them something - is a scrapbook a cheesy gift?

Absolutely NOT a cheesy gift. I think it's totally thoughtful and I'm sure they will be very appreciative. That's really sweet of you, btw.

I agree with esquiress! It would be something they can have for a very long time!

I also think it is an awesome idea. My BF's sister made us an awesome scrapbook of Vinny for XMas last year and it was one of my favorite gifts. Go for it!!

Not cheesy, love it! I wish someone would make me a scrapbook instead of getting me a freaking pair of slippers and itchy mohair sweater !

Have you checked out the books you can make on snapfish.com or blurb.com? They are about $25-35, depending on size, and you just upload photos and text.

My friend made me one and even took pics of papers she liked to use as background instead of plain black or white.

The quality is INSANE, and they are like coffee table books. I am going to steal her idea and make some for my family this year!

I second jj's idea for the photo books. I had one made through Shutterfly and the quality is terrific. If you have an account with them or sign up for one, you will sometimes even get free coupons for them. They have really quick shipping also.

I did a photo album using a website (can't remember which now) as a wedding gift to my family and they LOVED it.  I think most people would appreciate such a personalized gift, I know I would!
