Why it matters
Provides practical consumer advice for holiday gift-giving while emphasizing the enduring value of physical media in a digital age.
I've lost track of how many photo books I've printed over the years—mostly one-offs of little projects, fun things for friends, and maybe five copies at most. I'm not a photographer anymore, but old habits die hard, especially when you see the way people react to paper books. The response to a book, versus showing someone your latest Instagram post, is not even comparable.
With the holiday season kicking off, it seems apropos to point out that photo books make great gifts, as do mugs, prints, and my personal favorite for kids: photo puzzles. I've tested dozens of printing services over the years, and one of my favorites for holiday gifts is Staples.
