Last Minute Gift Ideas


It's not too late to create some wonderful photo gifts for a loved one. If you have a computer and some photos, you're halfway there. Here are a few ideas:

1. Make a photo CD.  You can collect special photos from the past year and copy them on to a CD. If you use Picasa, you can star the photos you want to use and create a folder with all the starred photos. Then use the "Gift CD" button and follow the prompts.

2. Make a photo slideshow set to music and save it to a DVD. Many computers have programs that allow you to create slideshows with ease.

3. Scan some old photos or slides and save them on to a CD for a family member. If you don't have a scanner, go to a local photo printing store and they'll do it for you.

4. Print out your photos to make a calendar. Many word processing programs have a built in template for making calendars.

5. Give a gift certificate for photo gifts at Snapfish, Kodak Gallery, or Shutterfly. What a great way to help with their New Year's resolution of making a photo book of 2008!
