Book em, Dano. Think "This is your life" but in book form and for an entire family. Gather your pictures together and tell the family story like nobody else can. Any online photo sharing site can pull this together for a fee and ship as many copies of the book as needed. Or do it on the cheap by printing your own pages and binding with ribbon.
Through the year. Turn a family photo from each month into the star of it's very own calander page. This is another project that can be done online for a fee or done inexpensively by you at home. To make your own just print the everything and bind with ribbon.
Family shirts. Turn a family into a team with an official family shirt. Select a picture with the whole crew for the front and put the name of the family on the back. You can buy a kit at craft stores to create your own iron on decals printed right from you computer. This is an especially great gift to give at Family Reunions where you can have them printed in two different colors to split the family into teams for games.
Framed. Order picture frames engraved with the family name if money is no object or paint your own if it is. Fill with a group shot of the favored family and you have a gift that will be treasured forever.
Go high-tech. If your budget allows consider creating a gift that is really over the top. You can pick up small sized digital frames for about $50 these days. Fill about ¾ of the slots with a timeline of family pictures. Be sure to include a note which explains that the others are left empty to hold family memories still to come. The lucky recipients of this generous gift will be talking about it for years to come!
I hope that I have given you some good ideas to make the day of a special family in your own life. Be sure to include a card with a heartfelt expression of love with whatever gift you choose. Even with all the advances we have today a written note is still a cherished way of expressing love and gratitude to those you hold dear.
