September means exams and holidays for most who are still in School or College, atleast in India. So, when your cousin or friends come over to spend some time with you, it is much more memorable. But then, when it is time for them leave and return home, you miss them and wish they had stayed on longer.

During the holidays, you have been taking your friend along, showing her around your city, exploring the hidden alleys that you had not ventured out to, and ofcourse enjoying the local treats – food, art and culture wise. Your friend has brought you a few goodies from her town, things that you enjoyed during your earlier visit there.

So, now, when she is ready to leave, you think of a gift that would be appropriate and remind her of you and the city along with the experiences she had here.

 

How to get Started

The perfect gift would be to order a Photo book with Snapfish. All it takes is a few simple steps and ta da, it is done! Your photobook will be shipped out to you within a few days, and all you need to do is wrap it up and give to your friend/cousin.

All you need to do is create an account with Snapfish, and choose the Photobook that fits your ideas.  It is upto you to decide how many pages the Photo book should have and the layout of the same.

Your friends have invited you over for Navratri Golu on a day when they are also celebrating their daughter’s birthday.  Normally, you would have been happy with a basket of fruits but since it is a 6yr old girl’s birthday, you decide to buy a lovely gift.

Since you have time, you decide to shop and keep the gift ready in case you forget it last minute. But instead of looking for putting one of those boring plain old gift tag, you look for something fun and unique.

Here is what you can do, head over to Snapfish and create your own Gift tag.. you can put your picture on it, name, address, or any other message, information you wish on the card. You will get a set of 20 personalized gifts tags that come with golden string to tie on the gift wrapper or box.

Time to Say Good bye to plain and boring gift tags!

 

And then , once you have placed your order, simply sit back, wait for the tags to reach your home. Put it on your gift and watch people ask you where you got them done and how cool they are…

Have fun! Let your creativity flow… Share this with your friends and others you know.. :-)

It is your parents’ 25th wedding anniversary in a week’s time and you have been splitting hair wondering what to gift them. The gift has to be something special, filled with love and one that you know they will love for years to come.

After having made a list of the usual suspects- Holiday in Bali, A weekend away at a resort, spa package, jewellery, watch, you are left with practically no more options… Why not gift them a personalised photo book that has pictures from the years gone by? You could fit in photographs from their wedding, when you were growing up, holidays, and other special moments that have been captured.

 

This is such a wonderful way of reliving the wonderful times and giving them something to look forward to till you visit them next…And you dont need hard copy of the images, you can pick out the photographs from the various albums you have saved up online. Make sure to ask your siblings, children and close friends if they have any of your family and include those as well.. :)

Add some glitter, colourful words, include Silver through the album, there are no restrictions on how far you can go to make it unique and special … Have fun!

Snapfish offers quite a range of Photobooks , across designs, specifications and cost.  And now, they have come up with 3 new photobook concepts as well..  You life has just become easier, and the puzzle of the “Gift with love” has been put to rest.

 

Start hunting for photographs, and watch the joy and surprise unfold on your parents’ faces as they unwrap the Photobook…

Happy Anniversary to your parents !

How to prepare a photo book – A collage of your holiday

You have just returned from a holiday to an exotic location and have all your photographs with you. Now you have several options on how to preserve these memories. You can upload them onto some online photo account or make a photo book out of it.

Photo books are very different from photo albums. Unlike the latter, photo books are bound with pictures normally printed directly unto the paper.  There are several options where you can make a photo book. But if you have a copy of Photoshop at your desktop, you can make a photo book of your holiday memories all by yourself.

First open the Photoshop picture editor and edit the photos you want to include in your photo book. Make sure that the photographs look the way you want them to. If needed add captions which you want to accompany the photograph

Next save all the photographs in a single folder. Now choose this folder and drag and drop the photographs as per the order you want them on the book. After the photos are selected, click on the Album button and create an album.

Once you finish selecting the pictures, click on the ‘Create’ tab and choose the ‘Photo Book’ option. Using the dialogue boxes available, choose the layout and number of pages for your book.

Next choose a theme for your photo book pages. Add background and frames to each page.

You can resize, replace and move the pictures around the book as per your wish. You can also play around with the layout and theme of the book. These options can be found in the Content panel on the left.

Save your photo book.

Now you can use this file to print it at your local photo printing shop or you can upload it to an online photo printing website and order as many photo books as you want. Now you will have a beautiful photo book holding the memories of your holiday.
