Holiday Gift Guide - Mixbook Review & Giveaway (2 Winners)





I must have taken thousands of pictures of Willow since she was born. But I haven't printed enough to fill up even one photo album. Its just so much hassle to take the time to pick out the best ones and print them. But when people come over they always ask to see pictures and they don't want to look on my computer. Now, thanks to Mixbook, I have the perfect way to show off my baby.

With Mixbook, you can get all your favorite pictures printed in one wonderful book. But this isn't like other photo book companies. It isn't just plain pictures in an album. Mixbook creates hardcover works of art out of your photos. You can go onto their website and design your own book, choosing from dozens of themes and hundreds of accessories. Its like being able to make a scrapbook, only it takes half the time and there is no mess to clean up with your done.

If you aren't computer savvy, don't worry. Mixbook walks you through every step of the process. You can add photos in page by page, adding words and stickers along the way. You can mix and match backdrops and borders. The possibilities are endless and the result is something you will treasure forever.  I made a book with all my favorite pictures from Willow's first year. Here are just a few of the pages.


I was absolutely thrilled with the results. I have always wanted to do a scrap book, but I'm honestly just way too lazy. With Mixbooks, the final product looks just like a scrapbook only better. You don't have to worry about glue or tape drying out as the years pass. Someday when Willow is all grown up, we'll be able to look back at this book and it will still be in perfect condition. Mixbooks are a wonderful way to commemorate all your special occasions including weddings, births, birthdays, and holidays.  They also offer cards, calenders and more. Check them out today and see what's it like to make a memory you can hold in your hands.

In honor of the holiday season, two lucky winners will each receive a $20 Photo book. To enter, visit Mixbook and tell me something interesting you learned. For additional entries you can follow them on twitter and/or become their fan on face book. This giveaway is open to the US only and will end on 12/19/10.

I learned that they have numerous themes for you to choose when you make a photo book, but if you don't like them you can design a custom book without a theme. Looks super fun!
