A photobook for Fathers Day

fathers day book

Fathers Day is just around the corner, and every year we have a panic of what the girls could buy their Papa {and if you’re still reading this G even though we told you not to – CLOSE THE TAB!!} Buying him fancy beer every.single.year is surely a bit unimaginative! While the kiddos usually make him a card and some handmade gifts, we like to buy him something special too.

We have a couple of photo books we’ve made over the past couple of years, so when we were offered to try out the photobooks from Snapfish, we jumped at the chance. Keepsake books full of our family memories make great gifts, and are something that can be treasured for years to come {unlike a bottle of beer!}

We decided to go for a 11″ x 8″ size photobook, with a personalised cover and a beautiful glossy finish on our photos. The total cost for our book was £31.99 {plus p&p}. I let the girls pick out the 20 photos that we could put inside {you can add more than twenty pages for an additional charge}. They also decided to make a special photo for the cover using PicMonkey.

The process of creating the book was really easy and straightforward. Upload your chosen photos, pick your book size and then either let it auto-fill your photos in, or choose your own layout. You can add text to each photo if you wish, and change the size of each individual photo. You can also pick a ‘theme’ giving you different coloured or patterned backgrounds. All in all, it only took half an hour to pick photos, upload, set the book out and complete our order.

Our book arrived on our doorstep with four days – we were very impressed! The quality of the finished product was fantastic, and we’re hoping Papa will be as excited with his gift as we are to be giving it him!

    Thanks for this post Polly. You’ve got me thinking now. In fact someone in our house is turning 18 in autumn so I could have some fun with that.

    What a lovely gift – I made one similar to this a few two years ago for John and he often pages through it. The quality and finish looks fantastic

    Those photobooks, much more than the rather “trendy” cards that I dare say are not ideal for a mother trying to raise children, are really romantic and familiar.

    Even on the extremely infertile soils of Southern Australia, the green of Welsh grass seems feasible, and the rock terrain reminds me of what I walked in at the Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School camp when I was in my teens during the early 1990s. As I noted a minute ago, much of m storytelling imagination is about homeschooling families who must traverse much steeper terrain with much poorer dress (even barefoot on rocky terrain, which I do have trouble figuring out with some degree of realism rather than a romantic mindset)

    It is recommended that you don the eyeglasses merely after a
    detailed assessment together with the attention professional,
    and after analyzing every one of the pros and cons. You’re also
    in a position to re-don precisely the same lenses for approximately a couple of weeks in order to scale back on many charges.
