Children grow so quickly and all that remains for the parents are memories. The problem is we can’t trust our memory as we forget most of the wonderful moments our kids shared with us. Buy a special baby book and write down everything you consider being important about your kids starting from the very first days of their life.
1. Order hand-made notebook with the name of the baby or a title "Baby's Name Childhood" on the cover
2. Tell the parents they should start writing as early as you can, make notes about baby's weight, mood, behavior, first words, write down funny things they say when they are kids - this will be the most interesting place in your book
The parents will thank you for this gift not once nor twice when reading it over and over returning to that happy time. They will always have the answer when their grown-up child asks them about his childhood

Photo Portrait
Centuries ago there was a tradition to decorate castles' walls with portraits of family members and relatives. In our time we can't afford sitting still for hours giving an artist a chance to a portrait of our close people. Also there will be no surprise if you order a portrait drown from nature.
1. Take a good picture of the person you want to make a unique gift.
2. Find an artist who draws portraits based on photos and order a picture with the person on it.
3. Ask the artist to draw the person dressed in something form the past centuries if you want to make the gift a little bit funny.
4. Hang the picture, covered with a white fabric, in the person's apartment.
5. Gather all the guests and solemnly take the fabric off.
You will not only make a unique gift but also decorate the apartment. You can even start a new family tradition that will be taken up by the next generations.

Personal Calendar
Calendar holidays are the days we don't have to work on, just an occasion to get together and spend some time talking, drinking and sometimes having fun. They don't really mean much to us, and very often we don't even think what we celebrate on these days. You can turn a calendar into a very meaningful gift to your friends or relatives if you do the following:
1. Schedule all the dates that are important for your people, like birthdays, wedding days, graduating from high school or university, getting driving license, first kiss, etc.
2. Find some funny pictures that were taken at different seasons.
3. Ask a designer from a publishing company to use pictures as illustrations for each month and mark all special days you could remember as calendar holidays.
You will make a unique and at the same time practical gift. In case you make a real research in people's biography, there is a great chance you will remind them about the dates they don't remember themselves.

Welcome Gifts
Normally we give presents on holidays or birthdays when people expect us to do it. We are used to buying gifts on that very day or the day before the date and nine times out of ten they are not what this particular person would really love to get, no matter how expensive the gift is. The better way is to pick up inexpensive welcome gifts that we know are really needed or likely to cheer our people up and present them more often without any expected reason.
1. Remark any items that would fit your friends and relatives' home, appearance, etc.
2. Fix in mind or note what your people tell you about their needs and wishes.
3. When you have a chance to buy a little gift don't put it off till tomorrow.
You will be surprised how future owners will be grateful for the gifts that are useful or to their taste. It is always pleasant to get a gift when you don't expect it. By presenting little gifts you show people that they are always in your mind, not only on holidays or birthdays.
