Digital Photo Books: Great Ideas for Teacher and Father's Day Gifts, Yearbooks and Children's Artwork
June mainly means two things to many parents: Father's Day and the end of the school year. And that means gifts for teachers and dad and sometimes yearbooks and, ugh, what to do with all the priceless artwork that comes home from your child's classroom. Whew. It's a lot.
One thing that won't make your life easier (we're not going to lie to you), but may make it nicer is digital photo book services that let you make great gifts and memory books from your photos, children's artworks or writing. The great thing about photo books is they slide neatly onto a shelf, meaning those piles of artwork and great memories can be easily accessed and shared without creating clutter, something teachers appreciate as much as you do.
Here are some places to make great books including a place you can do it right here in person in NYC. And we've got discount codes too!

Scribble Press:
Sadly, Scribble Press closed its doors on Father's Day 2013. You can now enjoy bookmaking Scribble Press-style at the Upper West Side Make Meaning.
Prices start at $160 and take about three weeks from approval to produce. It is a little pricey but think of all that closet space you can regain when the box of kindergarten art is gone!
And if don't think you have enough art for a book your little artist (6 to 10 years old) can join on on free art workshops with Souvenarte every Friday in NYC parks. Reservations required, call (646) 326 -1873 for more information.
Blurb
Do It Yorselfers can create your own photo books from photos, pictures or scans of children's artwork, wrtiing, whatever you like. Blurb makes it easy to create professional looking layouts with dozens of choices and lots of pretty background styles to choose from. I've made ohoto albums, memory books, gift books and even my daughter's elementary school yearbook using blurb. They are offering Mommy Poppins readers a 10% discount through July 18th, 2010.
