- Perfect Gifts For the Hard to Buy For

Do you ever feel as if you are stumped for ideas when it comes to buying a gift for someone you love? No matter whether that person is your partner, a friend or a relative, trying to find something memorable that won't break the bank can be very difficult. And if you want to buy something that is personal to the recipient it can be even harder still.

But there is a solution that enables you to take control of the nature of the gift itself and you will be guaranteed that no one else will have one quite the same!

The solution lies with custom photo books. These come in all shapes and sizes and they can provide one of the best and most personal gifts you could ever give.

What are the benefits?

One of the main benefits is that these books are very versatile. Do you have an important anniversary coming up? No problem-- this will be the perfect idea. Perhaps you're looking for a special gift for a notable birthday? Or a gift for new parents? No matter what the occasion might be, these fit in wonderfully.

They can also be designed very easily by you online. Provided you have the photos you need safely stored on your computer you can upload them to the site that sells the photo books and off you go from there.

Deciding on a theme

Sometimes the theme will be obvious from the occasion you have chosen to commemorate in this way. For example a book created to celebrate an important wedding anniversary could include pictures from the wedding day, and from other anniversary get-togethers and parties in the intervening years.

Or how about creating a 'coming of age' book for someone who is turning twenty one? If you can get a good picture of that person for every year of their life, it could provide an amusing and eye opening account of how they have grown into the person they are today.

Of course you don't need to create this type of gift to link in with any type of celebration or occasion at all. Sometimes it's nice to just treat someone to something unusual and special. Perhaps you have fond memories of a holiday you shared with someone? You could fill the pages with your choice of the photos you took while you were away together. Are you a member of a band that has just had their first gig? Commit it to print and keep a book each for posterity!

You could even propose using one of these photo books. A selection of photos featuring you and your partner could end with a photo of you holding up a sign which says 'Will you marry me?' It would certainly be a novel way to pop the question.

Choosing the Best Photos

The quality of the finished result will depend largely on how good the photos are that you put into the book. Spend some time going through your collection and create a separate folder for your own use, so you can move photos that you would like to use and are of good enough quality into that folder. This also makes life easier when you come to upload them to the site, since you won't need to search around for the ones you want to use.

When you start putting the photo book together you should also experiment with how the photos look on the page. Some websites which offer this kind of product will have different templates and arrangements that you can use on each page, and there will be occasions when a single photo on a page will have a lot more impact than two or three.

You should find that you can save your book before ordering it and it's a good idea to do so, since it will enable you to forget about it for a couple of days before taking another look at it through fresh eyes to see whether you are still satisfied with i

If you are you can then go ahead and order it, safe in the knowledge that it will make someone's day!

Leanne Tremblay is a successful internet publisher who was amazed at how easy it was to create coffee table photo books from digital family photos. In no time at all, she was hooked. The result was Photo Printing To Go, an idea portal for transforming digital photos into Christmas photo cards, photo books, and gifts.
