A Thoughtful Father's Day Gift -

With Father’s Day right around the corner (June 16th!) I’m so happy I got my act together early this year and surprised Tanner with this photo album from Artifact Uprising. You know how much I love Artifact Uprising’s aesthetic, and I have made a point to print my favorite family captures from them often. It’s my go-to when it comes to thoughtful gifting for family (easiest and best gifts for the grandparents!). In this digital day I love having physical copies and framed memories to hang around the house. This Father’s Day I wanted to create something extra special for T, and so I put together a layflat photo album for him, documenting he and Rex, and a highlight reel of our family of three moments from the past two and a half years. I actually pulled all of the photos together the night before Willow was born and got so emotional going down memory lane looking at all of his baby photos and milestone moments with Rex. The one who first made T a father! There’s nothing that makes me happier than the bond those two have, so it’s especially sweet to now have those memories printed in one book. (I now want to make another one, maybe next year!, of Willow’s first year and T as a father of two!).

Artifact Uprising has a bunch of great gift options for the dads–from framing your favorite moments, a calendar for his office or one of their photo books or albums. I love that you can completely customize their photo books to really make it your own, including choosing the color and title, how many pages and the photo format. I found it to be such a fun project to put all of the photos together and am super pleased and impressed with the quality. It’s so beautiful you’ll want to keep it out with the rest of your coffee table books on display.

There’s still time to place an order to get here in time for Father’s Day! (You can use code: CITNB20 for 20% off any purchases site-wide) ** You can order using FedEx economy by June 6th, or order FedEx Rush by June 10th to get by Father’s Day (more details here)

I tried to pull together photos from each of our trips–like Rex’s first helicopter ride in Hawaii, our road trips to: Inverness, Ojai, Carmel and here we are in Santa Barbara (above).
