Every year it’s the same old holiday gift exchange. There’s clothing, cool gadgets. Photographers are likely to receive a new tripod or memory card or - if they’re really, really lucky, that new lens that they’ve been eyeing for a while.

But as a photographer, what type of holiday gifts do you give?

The best gifts are often those that come from the heart. In some cases, giving a print of a person’s favorite photo may be ideal. But why not personalize it a bit further?

For example, why not take some of your favorite recipes, prepare them, take photos and then create a customized photo recipe book to share?

Or, if you’ve shared a great vacation with someone you love, create a printed photo book with memories of that trip?

After all, what’s hot in gift giving this year - and every year really - is a personal touch: putting something of yourself into the gift, and showing the recipient that you really were thinking of them when you picked it out.
