Photo albums and photo books are truly unique gifts that last forever, treasured heirlooms for family and close friends.
Several years ago a few of my best friends made me an
album gift; they placed their pictures and added personal letters from
each. It's been 15 years since I got it and I still treasure it.

Either way, to create a sentimental gift, you may want to decide what the focus of your album / book will be. Gather photos, mementos and items of interest to be placed in the album adding poems, letters, dedications, history, or any other things you think will enhance it.
If you are making a gift for
your grandparents, you may want to dedicate a page to each of their
children and grandchildren and having each one of them to write a
personal latter or a note, a family tree can be also a great addition
to it.
You can compose albums
focusing on one's life story, with photos from birth till today marking
all important landmarks in his life accompanied with stories, quotes
and history for each photo.
A wonderful idea for a
parent who's turning 50 is to create an album with photos of all their
friends and family, having them all to write something personal to
accompany the picture. The focus can be funny moments or nostalgic,
depending on your receiver.
Other themes could be:
personality, select photos and items that describes your recipient's
personality, what he likes, dislikes, favorite things, people, places
and times, hobbies, funny facts, his wishes, dreams, thoughts, and
hopes or everything you can possible think of that tells the story of
who is your recipient.
Birthday photo albums,
photos from birthdays over the years or a yearly album, 12 months of
memories and what happened that year.
For the sports fun, you
could make an album with his favorite sports, photos from special
games, sport moments, tournaments, or his favorite team. If he
practices sports himself then add photos of him in his golf game,
playing basketball or any other sports he does (or a photo of him
watching sports on TV.)
Tip: If you want to add something extra to
your
photos, that is if they are stored in your computer, before you print
them you can add digital frames with this cool tool.
Just upload your photo, choose the frame you want, save it on your
computer and print it.
