Here’s a question for you. How is it December, again? I feel like this year flew by, between school, work, and play dates. As this year comes to a close, there is so much to be thankful for. I am very lucky in the fact that I have the best in-laws in the world. Seriously, they are amazing. I no longer have my parents with me, but my in-laws have been in my life for 18 years. They do so much for me and my family that I like to pay it back when I can and show them how much I adore them.
Do you have someone like that in your life? I’m sure you do, and I know you want them to feel the Christmas spirit. I can recap my year in this new holiday video. It’s like reliving the year through pictures and I can show just how much my little ones have grown in just 12 months.
This year, I’m creating a photobook with a gift card to send to my Mother-in-Law because she always treats herself last. This time, I want her to have a little something for herself. TheGiftCardShop.com is the perfect place to create my free holiday photobook and get started on my gift giving this season.

In a new national study on gift giving from Millennials, expert Jason Dorsey and The Center for Generational Kinetics…Research showed that photos, in particular digital Photobooks, go further than anything else toward increasing to the perceived amount of effort put into a gift card.
