This Valentine's Day, give that special someone a photo book filled with personalized gift certificates that they can redeem throughout the year. They will love reading through their "Gift Certificate" book and will enjoy redeeming each certificate when the moment is right.

Start by making a varied list of activities and services that would make excellent gifts for your sweetheart. Some examples include: a 30 minute back massage, a dinner and movie date, a candle lit dinner at home, a romantic weekend getaway, or a commitment to wash all the dishes for a week.

Next, take pictures that represent each of the items you have decided to add to your list of gift certificates. For example, if you are presenting a gift certificate promising to do all the laundry, take pictures of the laundry room at your house and some piles of clothing that you can use to illustrate that page of your book.

Create a new book in Picaboo and devote a double page spread to each of the gift certificates you would like to give. Use a text box to describe the gift and be sure to add, "Redeemed On: _______" so that you can later write in when each gift certificate was used.

You and your loved one will have a wonderful time reading through your "Gift Certificates" book and redeeming each special certificate you have given.
