Scrapbooks make great gifts for many occasions. You can put together a complete album, a partial album, or a blank album, depending on the occasion and the recipient. When you give a scrapbook as a gift it shows the recipient that you care enough to put your time and effort into something special.

Complete Album This gift works best for commemorating a specific event or activity. For example, if you go on vacation with your best friend then you can create a lovely gift album based on that trip. Fill it with pictures and memorabilia from your time together, and include notes or anecdotes about specific activities. A complete album also works well for significant life events like weddings, anniversaries, and births.

Partial Album This gift works well for commemorating ongoing activities or changes. For example, at the beginning of the school year you could create a gift album for your child that starts with the first day of school and also has a supply of blank pages. You and your child can then add special stories, artwork, and pictures throughout the year. Partial albums also work well as gifts at baby showers, wedding showers, and graduations.

Blank Album This gift is great for someone who already enjoys scrapbooking or is interested in starting. For example, you could include pre-decorated pages that leave room for pictures and captions to be added later. You could also include a starter kit of scrapbooking supplies such as paper, scissors, adhesive, and more. Another fun option is to give a blank album and set up regular scrapbooking sessions with the recipient or give a gift certificate for a scrapbooking class. Giving a scrapbook as a gift is not as easy as running to the store and picking something off the shelf. It's value, though, is far greater to the recipient because you took the time to create a gift from your heart
