It was the hit of the party and meant so much more to them than a lot of the other more expensive presents they received that evening (or at least they pretended to!!!). Just a suggestion. Good luck!

That's a great idea! Several years ago, I was having problems coming up with a Christmas gift for my brother and his fiancee. I did something along the lines that you did...I bought a photo album with a cut-out on the front cover. Had a lot of photos of them on my harddrive from various holidays and parties, had prints made, put them in the album....and put the nicest shot of the two of them in the front cover cut-out. They loved it!
