good gift?

My husband deploys next year and I was wondering what you guys thought of getting him a photo book to take with him with pictures of me and our DD. The book would be a 5 in by 7 in book.   Would you do that or just put photos in a small photo album?

    That's cute! Dh deployed back in January and me and DS made him a 12 month calander from Shutterfly counting down the days until his return home and he loved it!

    I think it is great.  When my DH last deployed i made him a scrapbook.  He said he loved it and looked at it at a few times a week.  If he deploys again I will make him another with things that have happened in our life since then.

    I'm sorry that your DH will be deploying. I am certain that he will appreciate pictures in any form! Do you know about Operation Love Reunited, https://www.oplove.org/ ? It might be neat to do that either together as a family or as a surprise for your DH. You may want to put a book together for your daughter too, of pictures of her daddy--pictures of him, the two of them together and a picture of mommy and daddy together too!
