The old saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” We say photos are worth even more when given to someone as a thoughtful gift. Pictures can commemorate a special experience or they can create a visual reminder of a cherished friend or family member.

The 5×5 inch books are perfect for kids’ tiny hands and also small enough to slip into a purse or bag if you want to take them with you.
Photobooks are loved by everyone from new moms to grandparents. They also make a great gift for family members who live far away.

Notable Notecards
With a little legwork and creativity, you can turn almost anything into a beautiful and memorable note card.
Kids’ artwork, travel photos, or even photos of craft projects like quilts are perfect for this one-of-a-kind gift. The customized note card can be used as a thank you note, holiday card, or greeting card.
This guide lays out the process for designing the note cards. Whether you give the cards as a set or send them out to friends and family, they are sure to bring a smile to everyone who finds one in their mailbox.
Digital Picture Frame
Digital picture frames like the Aura frame make it a snap to share photos and videos with family wherever they live. You can instantly add photos to the frame with an easy-to-use app. This technology makes it possible for families in Texas to send photos to their grandpa who lives in Florida, or anywhere else.
Once the photos are sent to the frame, you can scroll through the pictures with a touch of a finger or choose a single photo for a static display. Can’t pick a favorite? There’s even a setting that will scroll through all of the photos.
Photo Puzzle
If you’re looking for a gift that’s a bit more interactive, a photo puzzle is a great option.
Simply upload a photo or several photos and a custom puzzle will be shipped to your door. You could choose pictures of a special vacation, an anniversary, or a beloved pet.
It’s a fun way to add a special touch to a gift.
Gifts that show your care and consideration are loved by people of all ages and stages of life. Grandparents, aunts, and uncles especially enjoy gifts that allow them to show off the youngsters in their life.
