An Excellent Christmas Pressie idea!
I can't take all the credit for this one, it was a fellow BE member who first suggested it on this site and we have used it all year for a number of presents.
It's called www.photobox.co.uk
Basically you up-load photographs onto the site and arrange them into an album called a 'Style Book'. There are around 4 different style from romantic to contemporary. They're around £15.00 to £20.00 depending on the typr of book you choose.
Once you have put the photographs into the pages of the style book, (you get to choose the format of each page) there are text boxes to write a little story about the pictures.
This is the second year we have sent the style books back to the UK. Last year a rellie bought one out to Oz for us to see.... they are really good! The quality is amazing, more like reading a magazine.
They just had a buy-one-get-one-free promotion and so we have already done them for this year and they were dispatched today to my sister who'll keep it safe for the big day.
It does take a bit of patience to up load and organise, but the results are worth it.
Cheers
Neil.

Snapfish do these too, recently they had a promotional code where you could get the books for just the postage so grabbed me a couple for $10.
The UK version has some promotional codes to do the same every so often so its worth checking moneysavingexpert or some of the voucher sites and you could save a few bob.
We were thinking of doing one of these books for the grandparents.

We do ours through Truprint (www.truprint.co.uk) and yes they are great just finishing off one for the last 12 months and due to the amount of photos in it i'm up to 48 quid with a few more still to add. Its worth it

I have used Photobox many times before leaving the UK and I have to say they have always been excellent.

Beware ordering their photo cards though, I expected a proper card but it's just basically a long photo.....

Re: An Excellent Christmas Pressie idea!
Wow, thanks for sharing that...I would never have thought of using a service like that. I'm gonna order one full of pictures of my son for his grandmother.
