Done a Photo Book for My Mother-In-Law

My mother-in-laws birthday is late November and I wanted to be really prepared for it so I ordered a photo book online as I noticed that she likes personalised things and because I am not really very good at picking out things for her. We have very different fashion and style. So today I spent the evening searching photos of us and her online with her adventures. It took me a while and I failed to make it in chronological order but I am quite happy with the finish. Now waiting for it to be printed and delivered to me and I have more than enough time to wrap it up. It feels good to have a gift ready ahead of time rather than rushing to buy it at a closer date.

Thank you Jimbo. I hope so too. I remembered when I gave Andrea’s grandma a framed photo last Christmas as a present she said she wanted one too. So I really wanted to give her a photo book since then. I feel like she would like it and I hope I picked the right photos.

@Ineeddentures I rarely do as my overthinking does help me in some ways.

It must be a wondrous personal gift. It is not a kind of a surprise gift but it is a touching gift

I wanted to ask her for more photos of her but I didn’t want to give her a clue. It is not so expensive but it is well thought of.

If she will like it I can keep compiling photos and making it for her every year.

It is a great idea to have a gift ahead of time to celebrate the birthday of your mother-in-law.

Yes saves me from panic buying. Now all I have to do is wrap and add some little trinkets.

That's such a thoughtful gift, she's going to love it. Honestly the order doesn't matter, photos from her own adventures will hit hard anyway. Getting it done early is a big win too, no stress later.

Yes all I have to worry about next is that my husband don’t forget to bring it with him when he flies to Italy. I don’t think I can personally come for her birthday due to visa restrictions.
