Unique Ways To Share Your Memories
Posted in collaboration with Bonusprint.
I love looking back on good memories. Time spent with my partner or my parents, memories of my gorgeous Sally. What I think is important is to have a physical representation of those memories so if you came to my house, you would see photos, canvas prints and other similar things with pictures of all of my loved ones and times I cherished.
So I thought I would share some unique ways to share your memories with others. Here are some ways I share mine.
Photo Books
I love photobooks as they are a great way of storing photos in a hard copy. I actually tend to buy these as gifts for those I love – I’ve often made them for family after a special occasion or holiday.
What is great about photobooks is that you can make them themed too – I have a few different photobooks around my home – one of my gorgeous Sal, one of my lovely guinea pigs and others too.
They look great on a bookshelf and make a great gift too.
Canvas Prints
Perhaps my most favourite way of sharing my memories is on canvas. I have mentioned before how much I like wall art in my home and canvases are a great example of this. They make a great focal point in a room and are always of the highest quality.
I always pick my favourite photos for canvas prints – those memories you most want to remember. I’ve mentioned time and time again just how special my Sal was to me and how she saved my life and it only seems right to have her immortalised on canvas, seeing as she meant so much to me.
Photo Prints
I do also have a few photo albums dotted around and often get photos printed out if we have done something special. We haven’t been on holiday for quite some time now but when we have previously, I have got photos printed of the time we spent away and popped them in a photo album. I love being able to look back on what we have done.
Posters
This isn’t something I have done yet but this is a great way to share some of your treasured memories. These aren’t as big as canvases and can easily be customised. You can get them printed on different paper types and are a great alternative to other types of wall art.
These are just a few unique ways you can share your memories. Whether you choose to have them on display or you choose to store them for private viewing, these are some great ways to share your most treasured memories.
How do you share your most precious memories?
Pin it!
People have so many photos stored on their phone, it’s a shame to just let them sit there. Each Christmas, my niece goes through hers, chooses the 12 she likes most and has them made into the next year’s calendar. They make a lovely gift – especially for family members who don’t live nearby so they don’t see very often.
We probably take more photos than ever but just don’t share them as we used it. What a lovely thing for your niece to do and I bet it makes for a really special calendar as well.
I enjoy making picture books for special events – they are a wonderful way to share photographs.
They really are, I need to remember to share photos more often.
Personalised items are always the best, as they do indeed evoke memories. That canvas of your dog is lovely.
I love photo books as it’s a great way to look back on trips we have done. Gone are the days when we used to print individual photos. I do print the odd one though and put it in a magnetic frame and put it on my fridge
It is strange how things have changed isn’t it? But nice not having to wait to find out if your photo came out OK!
I love to share my memories on canvas – we have many up around the home and we love them – they are all such special memories!
It is such a lovely way to share them and they for years which is amazing.
I love making photo books for special occasions, they make such a great way to share photos.
They really are and it lets you share those memories with everyone else as well.
I have to remind myself to get photos printed and enlarged in a canvas print but photobooks are a great idea as it is such a great way to share events with family and friends and not just via the phone
There is nothing like putting a favourite picture on canvas they can look amazing.
I mainly just print photos out to put in albums, but a photobook is always a good idea, especially as a gift for someone. We’re planning on doing photobooks for our family after our wedding x
Oh that would be a lovely idea and a great way for people to remember your wedding as well.
I love all these, my husband is a firm believer of printing pictures and not just having them stored on your phone or computer.
It gives you something to hold onto I mean how often does technology go wrong!
I now love preserving our memories in my physical photo albums or canvas print, I love them more now than digital storage.
I think it works well and it gives you something to look through and remember. I find I never look at my stored photos.
So nice. I am going to check around for businesses that offer photobook services. I want to have a photobook of my mom and dad. How nice it would be to have something like that to look at when I feel lonely.
They are really lovely to have both for both yourself and others. I’ve got some amazing memories in my photo books.
I want to get some canvas prints for my home. It’s nice to be able to choose your own photos and display them in the home. I need to create some of my children.
It really is they can make such a difference and liven up your walls as well.
Great post. I’ve wanted to get a canvas painting of my dog for ages!
It is worth doing they are a lovely way to show off favourite photos.
