In any case, 2025 is creeping closer, and what better way to celebrate the end of another year, than with a year-in-review photo book?
After a memorable New Year’s gift for a friend? A meaningful present for your parents? An elegant way to store your favourite holiday highlights? Whoever it’s for — and whatever you put in it — a year-in-review photo book is bound to make a lasting impression.
Sure, some seasons might contain more snaps than others, but you control what goes in and what doesn’t, so add as many or as little as you like.
Own an instax™ instant camera? There’s no reason you can’t include film prints in your year photo book. Use the instax UP!™ app to create digital copies of your photos on your phone or use a scanner and load printed pics onto your computer.
Make your book about that one major thing. Maybe you and your partner moved into your first home? Perhaps you took on a massive DIY project with your best friend? Whatever your major event of the year was, make it the theme of your album.
Remember, you don’t just have to include images. You could scan in wedding invitations, tickets to memorable events, or other keepsakes that capture the story of your year.
You also want to think about including a diverse range of snaps. If you’re creating a book for you, it can be tempting to throw in multiple similar shots because you love the composition, or you just so happened to look particularly radiant that day (we’re not judging), but make sure you make room for other pics too. Mix it up, and you’ll keep things interesting.
Buying for someone who’s all about craft? Opt for our textured Linen Photo book, then add our ‘Scrapbook 101’ theme during customisation. With a natural paper-style cover, ink blotches, and tape-like accents, our scrapbook theme is the ideal pick for anyone into craft.
Minimalism more their thing? Let the photos do the talking. Stick to simple colours, clean lines, and short captions that will make the snaps the main event. Simple themes work really well in both our Premium Hardcover and Premium Softcover Photo Books. Go for glossy paper for that final high-end finishing touch.
Prefer to build some anticipation? We have a number of playful themes that don’t require a photo on the front. So if you want to keep your snaps a surprise, you can do that too.
As a final touch, wrap your photo book in personalised photo wrapping paper, then tie with a ribbon to bring everything together.
