Photo Book Tip: Create an adventurous travel photo album at Shutterfly.com.
I just finished up a photo book at Shutterfly. It was kind of fun and might be something to think about for Christmas...hmm...yeah, maybe. I only made it because I decided to input all the coke top codes into the "My Coke Rewards" web site instead of giving the caps away like I had been doing (sorry Tony). This was one of the things you could "win" for adding up points. I made this and ordered it because the book was free besides the shipping cost. I also thought it would be cool to see my own photos in a book. You know, pretend I'm professional or something. Of course, if you want to try to make a buck or two this is not the place to do it...Shutterfly makes all the money. So if you happen to look at this and decide to buy a print or something, please go to my photo site at http://lynnhackman.zenfolio.com. At least then I can make a few bucks for the rent instead of Shutterfly.
I was trying to figure out how to use this to make money for church. Perhaps you could make a church yearbook or something and sell it? However, the books are not cheap so the sell price would have to be fairly high to make it worth the while. Also you would more than likely need to obtain the permission of everyone in the book, especially children under 18 years of age, to do it. That would be both difficult and time consuming.
It would be neat to make a family album that you could order and distribute to members of the family. I'm going to have to consider this for a belated 60th Anniversary gift for my parents (although I will have to clandestinely steal their photo albums from their basement, a basement my father frequents and could notice their disappearance. However, it would definitely be worth the "risk"). I think they would like that.
Anyway, this is a neat little capability of Shutterfly, and more than likely other sites out there. It's certainly something to consider when trying to come up with unique, interesting and appreciated Christmas gifts for the person (or persons) who have everything.
