Probably one of the nicest gifts someone has given me is a personalised photobook. To my mind, it shows real thought and effort has gone into the gift.
There are a few operators out there who offer this service, but it was Cewe Photobook who recently came to my attention.
With free Cewe Photo World software a photobook can be ready in just 3 minutes. The software guides you through each step of the design process, after which the finished photobook will be delivered direct to your door. The photobooks come in 6 different cover types including faux leather; premium linen; hardback; and soft cover and 4 different sizes.
Prices range from £5.99 for a photo booklet up to £34.95 for a hard back XL photo book. You can also add comments in text and many different background styles and colours.
If you’re stuck for gift inspiration, a photobook could be the perfect answer. Check out Cewe Photobook for further information.

This Winnie Lui white chandelier is a simply stunning example of contemporary design. We not sure of this objects price but expect big bucks.
