The Perfect Holiday Gift for Littles

Rex turns four this week! Every year I say this but I really can’t believe I have a four year old! I wanted to come up with some fun surprises for him and ways to make his birthday feel extra special this year so the Friday before his birthday we kicked the weekend off early with a mini celebration, just our family, with cake and a small gift.

One of the reasons I wanted to surprise him a few days early is because the custom baby board book I had made him from Artifact Uprising arrived and I couldn’t wait to give it to him. I am the worst with gifts / surprises–I always want to give them right away!

The book turned out so adorable! I can’t recommend making one enough–and it would be the perfect holiday gift for any children in your life. You can write and create your own story for them or use the themes they already have. (Since Rex was born on Thanksgiving I thought I’d make him his own “Thankful Book.”) Now I want to make Willow one as well! Artifact Uprising photo books make the best gifts for family members in general–I make a Layflat Photo Album every year. I always love the process of going through my images from the year as a way to document my favorite memories. Even this year, we’ve made some very sweet memories together just the four of us!

You can use code: ALICIA15 for 15% any Artifact Uprising orders (perfect for ordering your holiday cards too!)

He LOVED it and was laughing at the first page–a photo of Willow, which melted my mom heart.

I think I had just as much fun going through old photos and making this for him as we’ve had reading it all together as a family.

I always love the process of making Artifact Uprising books and try to make one of their photo books every year as a way to document my favorite memories from the year.

But really, how do I have a four year old?!
