Photo gifts are one of the simplest ways to give something truly personal. Your phone is full of shared moments waiting to be picked, captioned and put together.

    Twelve months, twelve shared photos and a memory for each.

  3. 3.A photo board from many people

  4. 4.A photo profile in social media style

    Shared photos as posts with captions, likes and comments.

  5. 5.A map of travel photos

    Each photo pinned to the place it was taken.

  6. 6.A hardcover photo book or framed print

    A classic for the shelf or wall. Order early, as printing takes time.

How to choose photos for a gift

Less is more. Pick photos with a story behind them and add a sentence or two to each. Imperfect, blurry shots often carry the best memories.

Frequently asked questions

What photo gift can I make in one evening?
An online album, timeline or photo profile. Pick photos from your phone, add short captions and send the link. Prints and photo books take longer.
How many photos should a photo gift have?
Usually between a dozen and thirty well-chosen photos with captions. Fewer photos with stories beat hundreds of random shots.
