Gift Guide
A photo book gift they'll actually keep
A Memtach photo book is a personalised, printed photo album made from your own photos — fast and easy to create, and a gift people actually keep instead of putting in a drawer.
Why a photo book makes a better gift
Most gifts are used once and forgotten. A photo book gets opened again — at every visit, every catch-up, every time someone wants to remember. It's fast and easy to create, quick to order, and it costs the giver a little more thought — which is exactly why it means more than a typical photo album bought off a shelf.
- Made from real, personal photos, not a generic item
- Easy to create and quick to order, even close to the occasion
- Something to keep, not something to use up
- Just as meaningful as a hardcover keepsake or a lighter softcover album
A photo book for every occasion
Weddings & honeymoons
Give the couple a photo book of the trip itself, not just the ceremony — the places, the food and the small moments a wedding album never captures. Order it while the trip is still fresh and it becomes the story guests never got to see.
Family gatherings
Turn a family trip into a photo album everyone actually opens again — reunions, milestone birthdays and the holidays that brought everyone together in one place.
For a friend
A shared trip, turned into a fast, easy-to-create photo book only the two of you would fully understand — the in-jokes, the wrong turns, the view neither of you expected.
Housewarming gifts
A photo book of a trip taken together is a personal alternative to another candle or plant — something that fits straight onto a new shelf.
Thank-you & team gifts
For a colleague, guide or travel companion who made the trip what it was — a printed photo album says more than a card ever could.
Not sure which cover to give?
Hardcover feels like a keepsake photo album — the kind that gets displayed. Softcover is lighter, faster to create and easier to send, ideal when you want something thoughtful without the extra weight.
Compare hardcover and softcoverQuestions about your photo book
How long does a gift photo book take to make?+
Creating the photo book is fast — most people finish arranging photos in a couple of short sessions rather than one long sitting. Production itself is typically a few working days before dispatch, so ordering close to the occasion still works, though earlier is always safer.
Can I add a personal message?+
Yes. You can add titles, captions and personal notes to any page, including a dedicated message page at the start or end of the photo book.
What if I don't have the person's photos myself?+
Memtach supports inviting travellers to a shared trip, so photos from everyone who was there can be pulled into one photo book rather than relying on a single phone's camera roll.
Which cover should I choose as a gift?+
Hardcover for a lasting, display-worthy keepsake; softcover for something lighter and easier to send. Both use the same paper, printing and binding — see our hardcover vs softcover guide to compare the full photo book lineup.
How do I order a photo book as a gift?+
Build the photo book in the Memtach app, choose hardcover or softcover, then place your order for the address you'd like it delivered to — no separate wrapping or shipping step needed on your side beyond that.
Can I arrange the photos the way I want?+
Yes, you can. Every page allows full personalization — you can change the layout and arrange the photos entirely according to your preferences. If you prefer a faster option, use auto-fill, which arranges the photos in chronological order.
Will my photos look the same in print as on screen?+
Slight color differences are possible — screens display colors using light, while printing uses ink. Even so, your photos will look as close to the original as possible.
Can I start creating a book now and finish it later?+
Yes. Your diary photo book is automatically saved in the app, so you can continue whenever you like and order it at any time.
