Now that it’s November, everyone has the holidays on their mind. I even read an article on Time this morning that suggested moving Thanksgiving up to accommodate a longer shopping season (no thanks – I hate breaking tradition!)
My family has been moving more and more towards homemade gifts in recent years. We all appreciate opening personal handmade presents, although it’s always fun to get your most wanted gadget too.
A great way to get into the homemade spirit, but still feel like your giving something nice (you know, sometimes craft projects go awry) is to design a custom book. I have had my eye on Blurb for years – the website is super beautiful and definitely encouraging to even the non-creatively inclined.
The Blurb Gift Center allows you to make seriously beautiful books using their free tools. Just add photos and text, choose your options (like paper and cover type), and then order. The best part is they have themed books to give you ideas and do the hard work for you. I especially like the Family History Book, which would be a great way to update my family’s massive genealogy tome. The Food Book would be great for holiday giving too – how great would it be to collect all your family recipes into one organized place?
