Photo reminders?

November is less than a week away and already there are advent calendars and presents at the end of every aisle in the shops! At Bell ringing we’re working on St Nicholas runs and my sister in law even sent me a message to say she was now fully wrapped and sorted for the big day! I’m wondering if perhaps I should go out and start shopping.

We do have to start a little early as half the family are in South Africa and land post moves at a snail’s pace. I rather suspect I need a calendar and diary that has all the post dates in and I should work backwards from there! Perhaps I need one of those gorgeous photo calendars from Photobox with a big picture of family every time I walk pass them? It would be a great way to spur me on to remember cards & presents!

See?! Fabulous Idea!

Have you discovered PhotoBox yet? They help you create some amazing photo products. I use their calendar every year for a Christmas presents for the In Laws. They adore seeing the boys on each page and you can edit the calendars to include a photo on the individual’s birthday. Take a look over at their site. It’s a great way to remember if like me you’re somewhat forgetful! I blame it on the fact that the boy’s social lives are busier than mine ever were!

Do you ever use photo calendars? I’ve been reviewing a different brand this week and I have to say I’ve struggled a bit with using a different brand style. But I do love photo gifts. They much such an excellent gift for friends and family who are far away and don’t see the kids as much as we like. My grandma tucks her under her arm and gaily heads off to church and teas to show her grandchildren off!
