Great Present Idea for Christmas Especially for those leaving the UK!!
I have looked and looked all over to get a nice/different present for my Mum this Christmas with us leaving in January!! Couldnt find anything and was getting a bit peeed off, and then I found these!! 
http://www.photobox.co.uk/widestatic/books.html
They are called Style Books, well took me nearly 5 hours:scared: to put it all together on Sunday, and did get a little frustrating at times BUT today it has turned up and it is brilliant, I am really pleased with it cost £19.99 which I thought was VERY reasonable and the finished article looks like it cost a lot more!!
Did make me cry reading it though this morning, as I wrote loads of personal messages in it to relate to the photos, and it all got a bit to much!!
Anyway I know she is going to be made up with it!!
Just thought would pass on the info incase anyone else in the same boat!!
Also interested if anyone else got any other ideas!! As still scouring for stuff for family that dont cost a bloody fortune!!!!!

Nice idea , I like it, although I do prefer quick presents. Just pay and you have it type of thing. Probably explains why most look dissapointed when they open my presents on Christmas day

Nice.
I found a calendar company online and put in pics of the kids. It will arrive for Xmas for my parents.

I bet she wouldnt, the fact you had taken the time to put something together would surely melt any mothers heart!!! I know if would mine if my kids did it for me!!
