Over the years I have made an effort to print photos from certain times (trips, graduations, etc.) and put them into albums. It makes them easy to leave on a coffee table and flip through from time to time. It is likely that these albums will increasingly matter to me as more time passes. I remember how I loved looking through old family albums at my grandparents' homes when I was a child.
So my gifts tonight are some photo albums hoping the finders print a few photos from an important time or day. Maybe they even choose to make an album of the play hoping that one day when the play is long since in the rear view mirror of their lives they flip back through the book and smile at the memories that are tangible and in their hands.
