Since they first popped up on the gift scene, photo books have been a favorite gift for Mother’s Day.  Since we recently took an in depth look at photo books in another article, I’ll just take a moment here for a brief review.  Photo books print your favorite photos in a book designed specifically for your gift recipient. 

Shutterfly has prices ranging from $12.99 for a 5” x 7”, 20 page, soft cover photo book, to $69.99 for its large format 12” x 12”, 20 page, leather bound hard cover photo book.  If you’re looking for even higher impact size, Kodak Gallery has a 12” x 14”, 20 page, hard cover photo book starting at $69.99.  For the truly budget conscious, Walmart offers photo books including a 2” x 3”, 24 page, soft cover mini book for $3.50.  Walmart’s offerings also include 8” x 11”, 20 page photo books starting at $15.00.

People who have family photos plastered all over the place kinda scare me. It's nice to remember family events and whatnot, but do you really need someone staring back at you every time you drink coffee or move your mouse? Photos on stamps, I suppose if you are going to bombard friends with photocards at holidays, why not add a photo to the stamp as well.

How much of this stuff ends up on display at moms house just cause you're still her child and she doesn't want to hurt your feelings? Like those macaroni pictures and hand-crafted pencil holders you used to make at school? I think the tech gifts for mom were much more practical, assuming she would actually use them.

I don't know if anyone wants to plaster the house with this stuff, and hey, it isn't for everyone, but I think many of these are great "one time" gifts for a mom or grandma. Also, sometimes it just interesting to see what is out there in terms of online retail. I know I was surprised by some of these!

Alright, photo footballs!

I don't even know my mother and I wouldn't be up for that. Also, $15 for a keychain?!
