5 steps to make the perfect gift for your brother

Creating something meaningful doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how to build a book he’ll never forget:

1

Pick your theme

Your childhood, a recent trip, or just a look back at the life you’ve shared.

2

Choose the real photos

The funny ones, the unexpected ones—the ones that say “this is us.”

3

Add a few captions from the heart

You don’t need to write a novel. One honest line can hit harder than you think.

4

Make it yours

Play around with the layout. Keep it simple or go bold. There’s no wrong way to tell your story.

5

Keep it real

Done! Perfect isn’t the goal, real is. That’s what he’ll love most.
