A Perfect Birthday Present - a book full of photos of their life so far

A Perfect Birthday Present - a book full of photos of their life so far

It is so hard to know what to buy people for their birthday - especially when they are in their middle ages and seem to have everything that they need. So, how about getting them a beautiful, handmade, photo album all about themselves? Perfect. A photo album that they will cherish and look back over for years to come.
