Saving - 52 Days Until Christmas & Buy 1 Get 2 Free Photo Books!

And just like that, we are down to 52 days until Christmas! ha ha!

With that, why not consider a photo book as a sentimental and personal gift for someone you love?  A photo book can tell any story you want it to.  You pick the photos, you organize which picture goes on which page and you add the captions!  It is so easy (and may I say addicting)! 

Snapfish has a great deal going on now until 11/8 where you can purchase 1 8x11 photo book and receive two for Free!  Just use the code: 1BOOK2FREE at checkout. 

Each book costs around $29.99 (20 pages).  You will also need to pay shipping.  From what I can see, you pay $6.99 for the first and $2.99 for each additional.  So for the above deal, you would pay $29.99 for the books and $12.97 for shipping.  Total $42.96 for 3 books delivered to your door.  Or $14.32 each.

Some ideas for photo books:
ABC Book
Make each page special to a letter of the alphabet.  Add pictures that show items that start with that letter.  Example: page 1 is "A".  Add pictures of your children or family that include: Apples, Aligators (maybe a zoo picture), Animals, Aunt (maybe a special picture with an Aunt), Ants, etc!  Add the words as captions to each picture.  Use this book with the kiddos just like you would any other ABC book!

Storybook
This can really be used for kids and adults.  For the kids, add pictures and put words to each page that will highlight information in the pictures and will read through with a beginning a middle and an end.  For adults, maybe a personalized book about how you fell in love with your spouse.  Or how the grandkids love spending time getting spoiled at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Vacation
Highlight a special vacation that you went on by putting all photos vacation related in one book!

Compilation of a Year, a Birthday, etc
Compile a set of pictures for a topic whether it is for a child's age, a birthday, a special day, etc.

Time with Grandparents
Add pictures of the kiddos with the Grandparents and put together a special book for Grandma and Grandpa to reflect on.  Or, if the grandchildren do not live near Grandma and Grandpa put together a book of the grandchildren so Grandma and Grandpa can see how the kids are changing.

Wedding/Anniversary Album
Put your special pictures in one place.  Gear the pictures around who you have chosen to receive the special book.
