Gift ideas for special moments
Today is Remembrance Day, the annual occasion where all of us come to a standstill for 111 seconds to remember all the fallen soldiers in the last wars.
At the ’11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month’, the time the peace agreement between Germany and the Allies took effect in 1918 after four years of fighting, all over the country people gather on war memorials in tiny villages and huge cities to remember.
Autumn is also the time of year where your thoughts and your feelings about the loss of loved ones — be it in war or other moments of life — grow stronger and sadness surrounds you more easily. The sky as grey as stones, the once so colourful leaves now grey and brown lay defeated on the ground, the wind blowing around the streets…that certainly does not help to cheer you up or remind you of cheerful memories.
Fill photo albums with your family portraits
Yet try to remember and cherish all the happy moments you spent with your loved ones. Never forget a single minute you have spent together, or the unique moments only you have shared. Why not turn these moments into personalised gift ideas to share your photos and memories with family and friends?
Create photo albums with your grandparents’ wedding picture, or another with a photo montage of your children as babies; almost every photo or quote will look breathtaking in our photo albums. Every single page can be filled with your photos to create further mementos for you and your family.
Fill the pages of your photo albums with as many photos, notes and little doodles as you wish; for every time you and a family member flip through the pages of your photo album will be another memory never forgotten.
Sometimes gift ideas say more than words
There are some moments in life when the right words are impossible to find, and quite honestly nobody expects you to find them; so creating gift ideas from wonderful photo memories is a splendid option to say something without speaking a single word. Keep the memories alive, in your heart and with wonderful gift ideas.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”
Laurence Binyon
