A photo book as a gift: ideas and when to order

Gift ideas

For the grandparents. The year with the grandchildren, from birthdays to everyday moments. Or a photo calendar with a new photo every month and the family’s birthdays already written in.

For a milestone birthday. A life in photos. Gather photos from the family, and photograph old prints with your iPhone in good daylight.

For your partner. Your year together, your trips or the day you met. Write a few lines only the two of you will understand.

For new parents. The baby’s first year, month by month. These are the photos that otherwise get buried in a phone.

For a confirmation or studenten, the upper-secondary graduation with the white student cap. From first steps to the big day, with greetings from the family.

For yourself. A book about the year gone by. Make it a tradition, and the story grows on your shelf.

Make it personal

• Give the cover a title, such as a name, a year or a place.
• Write a message on the first page.
• Add dates and places, so the book still makes sense in twenty years.
• Choose a colour for the pages that suits the person you’re giving it to.

Send it straight to them

If the gift is going straight to the person receiving it, just enter their name and address when you order. It then goes to a GLS parcel shop near them. The parcel waits at the shop for 7 days, so make sure they know it’s coming.

Several copies

If Grandma and Grandpa are each getting one, choose how many in the basket before you pay. It’s the same book, so you only make it once.

When should you order?

The book or calendar is ready at a parcel shop 4–5 working days after you order. Carriers are busy before Christmas, so give yourself plenty of time, especially if the gift is going straight to someone else.

If you’ve forgotten something, you can change or cancel the order within the first hour. After that, it goes to print.

What does the gift cost?

A photo book costs from DKK 229, and a photo calendar from DKK 179. Delivery costs DKK 59. See all the prices under Prices and delivery.
