What does the month of June mean to you?
June means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but for many it means school is out and it’s time for year-end teacher gifts and graduations. It also means weddings and all the festivities associated with them as June is the most popular month to get married. June also means Father’s Day and in my house it means celebrating an anniversary. It is hard to make it through the month of June without at least one, if not more special occasions. So, whether you are purchasing gifts or capturing special moments in photographs, June is a month to think OUTSIDE the BOX.
TEACHER GIFTS & OTHER END OF THE YEAR GIFTS
School is about to end and right about now I bet you are trying to think of a gift for that special teacher who went the extra mile for your child. Do you have photos that you took throughout the year during assemblies, school plays, classroom parties and other in-school events? If so, how about calling on OUTSIDE the BOX to create a one-of-a-kind print or video “year book” for the teacher featuring your favorite photos from the school year. Think how proud your child will be when he/she presents the teacher with this unique year-end keepsake.
Another great OUTSIDE the BOX idea is creating a year-end “memory book” for the entire class, or even for the entire grade using the photos you took throughout the year. OUTSIDE the BOX can create a fun-filled book or video that captures all the memories of the school year. Your child and his/her friends will treasure this book for years to come!
Think ahead . . .
Don’t have enough or any photos for an OUTSIDE the BOX gift for your teachers or classrooms this year? Keep our end of school year ideas in mind at the beginning of the next school year and start shooting photos right away in September. By June, you will have enough memories to fill an OUTSIDE the BOX CREATION and your favorite teacher’s heart.
GRADUATION
Now-a-days there seems to be more graduations than ever – it is not as simple as it used to be when there were only graduations for middle school, high school, college and post college degrees. Now there are nursery school graduations, junior kindergarten graduations, kindergarten, graduations and 5th grade graduations. So where there is a graduation, it is likely there is a need for an OUTSIDE the BOX gift. A few of our OUTSIDE the BOX graduation gift ideas include:
for the high school graduate
– create a project chronicling their entire school career beginning in nursery school – it is a great keepsake which can easily be packed up and brought along to college.
for the college graduate
– a print or video montage of their college career
for the individual receiving the post-graduate degree
– a print or video project containing pictures of graduations past leading up to their big day.
There are so many OUTSIDE the BOX ways in which to celebrate your favorite graduate.
MEMORIALIZE THAT SPECIAL DAY…
Another OUTSIDE the BOX idea – graduations and the festivities associated with the ceremony are great photo ops – so, provide us with the pictures you take (you know you will be taking a lot!) and OUTSIDE the BOX will create a photo book or video that chronicles the events. Give this creation as a post-graduation gift, or keep it for yourself so you will always have the memories of your graduate’s special day and their accomplishments close at hand.
Nuptials and Related Events
Summer is the most popular time of year to get married with June being the most popular month. Headed to a wedding this summer? Most likely if you are, you will also be attending at least one of the prenuptial events. This means more than one gift idea and one can only purchase so many chip and dip sets!. So, let’s think OUTSIDE the BOX for at least one of the gifts…
attending an engagement party?
– Have you known the couple since the day they met? Do you have pictures or can you find pictures that tell their story? Let us create the perfect photo book or video to present at the event and give the happy couple as an engagement gift. This would also be a great gift for the prenuptial dinner!
attending a shower or a bachelorette party?
– Is your life-long friend the bride? If so, you must have pictures of the two of you and your journey through life together. A photo book or video relaying the adventures, dramas, and laughs the two of you shared throughout the years will touch the bride’s heart more than another toaster or tacky gag gift!
attending a bachelor party
– Maybe your brother or best buddy is the groom and you want to do something more special than just a night out with the guys. A photo book or video chronicling your friendship and the antics that have transpired over the years will be an unexpected gift which may bring back memories of the good old days that can be recreated and rehashed at the party!
for the wedding
– Are you a member of the wedding party? If you are you have a been an important part of all the events above. Why not give us your pictures of the engagement party, the showers, the bachelor and bachelorette parties, the prenuptial dinner and the wedding to create a fabulous creation of memories to present the bride and groom when they return home from their honeymoon. Or, how about a gift certificate for an OUTSIDE the BOX creation that the bride and groom can use to create a honeymoon album or video?!
Just like with a graduation, there are so many options for an OUTSIDE the BOX gift that says both congratulations and best wishes to the bride and groom!
