6 Ideas To Make The Best Family Photo Book

The key to forming a good photobook album is to find and hone in on the aspects of your year that all the members of the family can relate with. Did everyone meet up together for thanksgiving or go out on a holiday together? Explore one of our family vacation books.

Want to create a beautiful generational bonding moment? Create a special collage for each family member in one of these Everyday Modern Family photo books so everyone feels included!

1. Recipe Books

There’s nothing as unifying as food, especially over the holidays. Every family has their staples. From how your grandmother cooks the turkey to your aunt’s special dessert, there’s a lot of culinary legacy waiting to be unearthed.

Put all of your family’s recipes together to make the perfect holiday gift. Unlike every other gift, this unique compilation will touch everyone’s hearts and make this Christmas a day to remember.

2. Family History

Another timeless idea is to form a timeline of your family ancestry. When you were growing up, it probably felt like there was always someone older around to share family stories. But oral history fades and before you know it, people start forgetting those cherished memories.

This Christmas, record those histories in a photo book to make the perfect gift for every member of your clan, from the eldest to the youngest! The photobook could include pictures and dates of birth of people in the family, potentially even stretching back centuries depending upon how complete your family records are.

Imagine in a decade or two, being able to revisit your family history to see how your family has grown!

3. Memoirs

Why not make this holiday season about your favorite family member? Talk to your siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins to compose the perfect memoir for your grandparents. Document every stage of their journey and remind them of all the incredible things they’ve accomplished in their life.

Make this joyous occasion about the people who shape your family with this Watercolor Book of Remembrance.

4. Family Vacations

The best thing you can do at the end of the year, during all that holiday stress, is remind your family of all the joy you’ve experienced together. Family vacations bring out the best in people. They’re a welcome change from everyone’s busy daily work schedules and offer a wonderful bonding experience for the entire family.

Get one of Mixbook’s Summer Travel Photo Books and put together a stunning collage of all your trip highlights. Flipping through these highlights will bring joy to everyone’s faces this Christmas, and for years to come!

5. Milestones

More so than any other holiday of the year, Christmas is for family and to be enjoyed with those close to you. It is a time for everyone to get together and break bread under one roof while recounting stories of the year.

Christmas also offers people a chance to catch up with their relatives and learn what everyone has been up to recently. This makes the holiday a time for telling stories more than anything else.

By merging this tradition of storytelling with gift-giving you can combine two of Christmas’s greatest qualities into one. You can make a gift that recounts the year and helps everyone better know what each other have been up to. This makes everyone stay connected as a family and an active participant in each other's lives.

6. Year In Review

However, the possibilities extend far beyond that, you can also make other ideas come to life. Consider a year in review, where the photobook recounts the most pivotal moments for each of the family members. Allowing everyone to share their most intimate and important moments of the year.

The holiday season is the best time for you to reflect on your year and be thankful for all the joys you’ve experienced. There’s nothing more intimate and warm than having your family be a part of that. This Gratitude Year In Review photo book is a customer favorite and one of the best gifts you’ll ever invest in!
