Fun, Easy, and Thoughtful Last Minute Gift Idea

Go ahead. Admit that you're not finished Christmas shopping. Admit that there's that one person on your list for whom you have zero creative, thoughtful, or unique gift ideas. Admit that you're THIS close to drowning in despair. Enter How Fast Time Flies. There is still time to give the gift of memories. Ok that was super cheesy...but also super true!! There are some people who need a little push to get their memories in some format they can enjoy (anyone else saddened by the gazillions of pictures that never made it off your camera, never mind off of your hard drive?). Well I made a book of my daughter's first year at How Fast Time Flies that I am in love with. It's captured some of my favorite memories of her and some of her cutest shots. It's something our family will cherish forever. Plainly put: It's better than a gift card! SO, how can you treat someone to such a special gift? Well if you have enough photos of the recipient and her family, you could make it for her, but you're running short on time. A more realistic alternative is to purchase a gift card and with the gift card include one page that you did make. If it's for a good friend or family member you no doubt already have a super cute picture of her or her kid(s) in your e-mail, or on facebook, or in a shared York/Shutterly/Snapfish/Kodak album, right?! Well take a couple of those photos and make a quick page. It will seriously take you less than 10 minutes! Couple that with a gift card and voila! You have a sweet and thoughtful gift for a friend. You don't have much time so do it NOW.

And just for you (ok, just for you and all their other customers) you can save 25% on pages and gift cards. With this deal you might as well get one for yourself while you're at it (Is it just me, or does the "one for you, one for me" mode of Christmas shopping make it so much more fun)?!
