A visit past your local photo and camera store will have you amazed at the many great things you can do with photos. With the advance of digital photography, our precious memories can now be transferred onto a number of items and presented in such a beautiful and original way that they make fantastic gift ideas.

Here are some thoughtful Father's Day gifts that can be presented from our photos.

PHOTO SCRAPBOOK

Using a collection of memories and presenting them in a book surrounded by embellishments makes a great personalized gift for anyone. Choose particular photos that show the dad who will be receiving the scrapbook some of his favorite moments with his children.

A scrapbook can be kept forever and often referred to in the future. They add a personal touch to your photos and help bring the moment back to life again over and over.

PHOTO BOOK

A photo book is like a scrapbook but is presented in a binded book and without the embellishments. Photos are printed on paper and layed out on each page. The book is professionally binded and makes a fabulous gift for any dad.

PHOTO MONTAGE

Gather together approximately ten of your favorite photos that have dad featured in them. They can be photos of special times you've experienced together or photos that include dad with the kids or one's of happy occasions.

Choose two or three of the best of the photos and have them blown up to a larger size. Create a collage of the photos and have them professionally framed. The frame can be hung on the wall in a featured area of your family room or in the office.

There are many great ideas that can be done with photos and some creative collage work. They can also be shaped into words such as "We Love Dad" and have your favorite photos used for the words. Have this framed for a unique and personal gift.

PHOTO TRANSFERRED TO CANVAS

There are many services available that can be found on the Internet that will transfer your photos onto an oil painting canvas. You could even commission a professional painter in your local area to paint a portrait from a photo you have provided.

A personalized painting or sketch for dad is a unique gift that will be cherished forever.

PERSONALISED OFFICE STATIONARY

A photo memento can be transferred to many different types of items and one of these includes office stationary. Have your favorite photo transferred to a mouse pad or a desk calendar that will be used often while dads at work.
