How to choose a photo album and why is it worth creating them?

Beautiful memories are what give our lives meaning. Especially those of our children. It's nice to revisit them after many years. In an age of photos stored on smartphones or laptops, we often forget about traditional ways of collecting our most beautiful moments. And it's classic, glued-in photo albums that are durable and, above all, timeless.

On our Kokosek website you will find both traditional photo albums for pasted photos and memory albums in which you can also include descriptions of the most important moments in your child's life.

Types of photo albums

There's a wide selection of different types of photo albums on the market. The choice of where to store your most precious memories depends on personal preference. Options include:

  • traditional, small albums that hold photos measuring 190 x 210 mm,
  • classic, large albums that hold photos measuring 24 x 29 cm,
  • designer albums with photos and descriptions that look good in modern interiors,
  • albums for creating descriptions, containing entries and suggestions for what could be included on a given page, e.g. my first walk, my first bath, etc.

The choice depends on the number of photos you have, their size, and the final goal you want to create. Furthermore, this item can be purchased in various colors, allowing you to match it to the child's gender and even their room decor. A glued-in photo album is affordable, and gifting one to a loved one is always a good idea.

Parents with unlimited imagination can choose quotes for a photo album. Many parents print their child's hands and feet (previously dipped in skin-safe paints) on the album's pages. Decorating the album with colorful ribbons and tapes is also a good idea.

Tip!
To keep your album looking neat, it's worth forgoing traditional adhesives and attaching photos using specially designed stickers. This will prevent the page from wrinkling. These stickers are readily available and relatively inexpensive.

Why is it worth creating photo albums?

There's no denying that creating a beautiful photo album takes time and commitment. However, it's one of those activities that will pay off years later. It's the perfect keepsake that the whole family will enjoy. Just think of the holidays spent together, when everyone relives the moments captured in the photos.

A photo album is a great gift idea for parents of a newborn, who can fill it page by page with descriptions of the most important events in their little one's life. It can be given as a first birthday gift, a christening or name day gift, or even as a baby shower gift to the mother-to-be. Regardless of the occasion, this type of gift will always be a hit.
