More Scrapbooking Gifts

I hope you found the idea of a calendar scrapbook helpful! As the holiday season is quickly approaching, I am sure you have started thinking about gifts for your friends and families! There are many scrapbooking gift ideas out there! I've written about a few of them below.

1. Creative Holiday Cards
Don't settle for the typical holiday cards that you can find in the store! Personalize them with a picture of your family or children. This is an especially good idea for friends and families who live far away and you don't see very often. Children especially grow up so fast and getting a yearly picture of them will allow for your friends and family to watch them grow.

2. Adventure Books
Shutterfly.com (http://www.shutterfly.com/shop/product_c18360/Adventure_Books)

offers a gift for younger children. They are called "adventure books" and feature characters from popular children shows such as "Sesame Street." You can then add your child's picture into the books so that they will read about themselves having an adventure with their favorite characters. This is a great way to get kids excited about reading!

3. Mugs
You can have mugs made with pictures on it too. This helps to make for a good start to your monring coffee when you think of the happy memory of the picture

4. Playing Cards
You can also make a deck of playing cards with your various pictures. This can also make a great gift. It's a great way of incorporating fun games with memories.

5. Puzzles
You can also enlarge one photo to make a puzzle out of it. Buy a design it yourself puzzle, have your favorite picture blown up at a copy store, glue the picture to the puzzle and then cut the pieces apart.

6. Magnets
Make your favorite pictures into magnets! This is a great alternative to needed to buy frames. These magnets can also help to liven up your refrigerator.

7. Photoshow
This idea is great for a milestone birthday or wedding. Pull together the same pictures you would put in a photo album or scrapbook and make them into a slideshow. You can do this by using powerpoint, a movie like imovie, or have it professionally made. Try to pick a theme for your slideshow. Show the show at the party and it is sure to be a crowd pleaser!
