Our tips for creating the best photo notebooks

Give the notebook a purpose

A notebook with some pictures on the front is a nice gift. Something tailored to the person you are giving it to is more personal and more special. Here are some of our ideas for how you can turn a photo notebook in to a truly memorable gift:

• Use summer holiday pictures to cover a back to school notebook
• Give one as a recipe notebook to a keen baker – and adorn it with photos of their own creations
• Use family photos to cover a notebook for a son of daughter off to university for the first time
• Break out the soppiest pictures you have of yourself and a love one to give as a diary

Don’t just limit yourself to photos

We call them photo notebooks, but you can actually create them with any image file. Break out your Photoshop skills to either add your own touches to photos, or create something original and fun before you upload.

Include a message

Most of the photo notebooks on offer through our partner sites allow you to add a personal message; either on the cover or inside it. If that isn’t quite right then why not use something like Photoshop to add your own image to the photo before uploading it?

Check out all the templates

When you create your photo notebook you will be presented with a number of templates. All of the partner companies have their own collections of templates, from fun to serious, romantic to practical. Templates are a great way of easily making your creations look really professional – you just add your own photos. If you don’t see a template you like at the first site you visit then shop around – they really do vary from site to site.
