Family photographs make beautiful, budget-friendly gifts that’ll be treasured by their recipients.
Browse through your digital images to find special snapshots appropriate for the giftee. (It helps if you’ve been toting your camera to family functions and gatherings!) Perhaps, for example, you have a darling image of your two-year-old niece; printed and framed, it makes the perfect gift for her mother!
For adults, dig up some nostalgic photos from their childhood. If necessary, reach out to relatives with old family photos, and offer to scan them into digital format. It’s a great way to preserve family history, while building a wonderful database of images.
Once you’ve selected your images, print and arrange them into gift-friendly format. Single photos are best presented in frames, while multiples work well in small books or albums. Alternatively, burn a slide show of images onto a DVD that recipients can view on their computers or televisions.
