If you’re wondering about luxury photo books, they are actually a new breed of albums that falls under the category of “expensive”, with the cheapest items costing over $200. For that price, however, you can expect pure luxurious leather to set your pictures in. But if you’re just like most people, you’re probably wondering why anyone would want to buy an expensive photo album.





Well, for us, you will need luxury photo books if you want to give the gift of memory to friends or family this Christmas. Certainly, you don’t want to send raw pictures to the people that matter to you. You will want to show them how important they are in your life by setting your photos to last for many years to come.

Designed to Meet Your Tastes





Luxury photo books are expensive because they are custom-made, meaning that every detail is designed to meet your tastes. For example, we looked at one website that offered custom luxury photo albums and found several different styles – from Japanese book cloth, premium leatherette horizontal, premium leatherette square, and premium leatherette vertical. You can have them customized and have your name (or whatever text your prefer) printed on the cover.





But of course, those album style are only from one website. If you want to get an idea of the breadth and depth of luxury picture albums that are available, take a look at Google or even Amazon.

A Meaningful Gift





The good thing about giving picture albums as gifts is that they almost always mean something to the person you are giving them to, unlike when you’re giving something that was bought straight from a department store shelf.





If you think paying for over $200 for a photo album is expensive, we have to admit that yes, it can be expensive for some people. However, if there’s something that we’ve learned about life, it is that if you would only look, you can find cheap versions of anything on the Internet. That said, if you feel like giving your mother-in-law a picture album containing all the pictures of her grandchildren, do some comparison shopping and compare the prices of at least three websites. You’d be surprised at how much money you can actually save simply by looking around and comparing prices.

Are Luxury Photo Books for You?





I have never been fond of taking pictures, and printing them and mounting them in an album, but with a baby on the way, I might just buy an album to keep pictures of the baby. However, I don’t think I’d be able to bring myself to buy a $200 photo album (I’m a cheapskate that way). Then again, I might just change my mind when the baby comes out. Maybe I’ll take several pictures of the baby per day and paste them on to an album until it overflows.





If I were to buy a luxury photo album, I would have something Japanese in design. Why? I like designs that are minimalist. I don’t like anything ostentatious.
