My mom turned 60 this year and it took me a while to figure out what present to get her. Most of the presents I got her in the past ended up collecting dust in a closet somewhere. She even told me it’s better not to get her anything this year since she’d have no where to put it.
However, it’s impossible not to get something for your mothers birthday, even if she says she doesn’t need anything, just the act of receiving a gift from a loved one on your birthday is very significant. It’s important to make sure she knows how much she means to you, especially on this special day.
So finally I thought of the perfect gift. A photo collage of our old family photos! It was amazing, I scanned a bunch of our old family photos from different vacations, birthdays and any event where we got together. Then I sent them to this site I found, www.photoartomation.com, and they did a fantastic job of putting them all together. I mention them because their customer service was great. They work with you to make sure you’re 100% happy with the collage before sending it to be printed.
The most amazing thing about this gift was moms reaction. She loved it, it brought tears to her eyes, and to mine. The collage now hangs in her living room, next to the TV. She says looking at the pictures is more interesting than watching her shows.
A collage of family photos is thoughtful, beautiful and guaranteed to move even the most stoic people at heart. I’ll be getting all of my relatives a custom made collage for future holidays and will use www.photoartomation.com to get it done. Thanks to them, this years gift will never have to collect dust in a closet.
