Christmas photo books
The year's photos, made into a present.
A photo book of the year is one of the few presents that gets better with age. It's also one of the few you can give to several people at once without anyone minding that theirs is the same.
Who it's for
- Grandparents, who see the children less often than they'd like and would happily look at every photo you took.
- Family who live a long way away. A book of the year says more than a card.
- Yourselves. A book for each year makes a shelf worth having by the time the children are grown.
How to make one
Gather the year's photos - your phone has them in date order already - and add them to a book. We lay out the pages in the order things happened, keeping each day together where we can, so January is at the front and Christmas is at the back. Change anything you'd like, put a title on the cover, and order.
The Christmas template gives you a festive cover to start from. Or start with a blank book and let your photos set the tone.
Not sure how many photos to pick? Somewhere between 40 and 80 fills the 28 pages comfortably. How many photos you need has more.
One price, however many you send
Every book is £10, including delivery anywhere in the UK. Order as many copies as you need in one go and split them into separate shipments, each to its own address, so a copy goes straight to each set of grandparents. There's no delivery charge and nothing added at the checkout.
Leave time for the post
Most books arrive within a week, but Royal Mail is slower in the run-up to Christmas. To be sure of your book arriving in time, order by Thursday 10 December. When to order has the detail.
The book
A 21×21cm stapled softback, 28 pages on 150gsm silk paper, with a laminated cover. Your photos stay on your device while you design, nothing is sent to us until you order, and we delete everything 30 days after you order.
