You don’t necessarily need an occasion to make a photo book, but having an occasion can make the book a thoughtful gift idea. After snapping your photos, you can quickly use an app, like Vukee, to order a printed collection and have your gift ready in no time. Below are some examples of times when a photo book is the perfect choice for gift-giving. Keep in mind that you may not be able to give a photo book as a gift until after some of these events have happened in order to include pictures from the event.
Graduations
A photo collection of a graduation makes a great gift. Any event worth remembering can be made into a gift that someone will hold on to for a long time. A photo book of the student before, during, and after the ceremony will give them a physical record of that memory for years to come.
Family Gatherings/Reunions
People take pictures at family get-togethers all the time. But, rather than letting every relative leave with their own photos, it’s a good idea to have them sent to you. That way, you can make a photobook with the best of everyone’s photos and send one out to everyone involved (or at least your favorite relatives).
Weddings
This one’s a no-brainer. Everyone wants some sort of documentation of their big day. As a guest, you can take photos of the service, borrow those of your relatives, and have a photo book ready for the happy couple by the time they return from their honeymoon. A photo book of the couple before they were married will also make a great gift for the actual wedding day.
Birthdays
On someone’s birthday, a photo book of the last year can be a great gift. It’s always nice to be able to look back and see what we were doing at certain ages, even if it’s slightly embarrassing. Infant birthdays are opportune for photo books, however. They make great gifts for parents by allowing them to look back at how their little one has grown. They also make great future gifts for the child by allowing him/her to look back and see how cute they were.
Vacations
Any trip that you go on provides you with an opportunity for a photo book. With one, you’ll be able to re-live and remember the best moments of any trip and share them with others. For those who went on the trip with you, a photo book like this would make a great gift.
Holidays
This is another no-brainer. Holidays are always good times for gifts. However, creating a photo book of holiday memories will make for a thoughtful gift and a source of nostalgia in the future.
Anniversaries
Having documentation of an anniversary is sure to appeal to any lovebirds out there. Giving your significant other a photo book of memories from the past year(s) is a way to show them how important they are to you (and that you didn’t forget the anniversary). Remember that one time that one thing happened and it was so cute? Well, you have no choice because it’s now in your super-romantic photo book forever.
