An ideal present for a couple moving away an album filled with home scenes and activities they are leaving. A candid photo album of an anniversary party or event makes a meaningful gift for the occasion or as a later birthday or Christmas present.
The piece links Magi gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh to modern Christmas giving, celebrating gifts from the heart.
