Is this lame?

Is it lame to make my parents and ILs each a shutterfly photobook of Tatum's first year pictures for her first birthday?  Should I save something like that until Christmas?

I like the idea of making one for myself each year at her birthday, so I thought I would get them for her grandparents, too.  But I wasn't sure if I should wait to give it to them until Christmas.  I probably won't finish and order it until after her birthday, so I can have at least one "birthday" picture in there, so I wouldn't be giving it to them "for" her birthday, you know?

WDYT?

(Oh, and this is a post and run for now, because I have to get to a meeting.  I'll be back later . . .)

    I'd personally save it for Christmas.. But I don't think it's lame to give it as a just because / she turned one gift

    Not lame - and I think either time (T's birthday or Christmas) would be acceptable.

    I also think it would be awesome for Christmas but definitely isn't lame if you decide to give it to them for the first birthday.

    Not lame and I'm sure they would love it. But I plan to do these for Christmas, so that would be my vote. It is hard enough to find ideas for presents, so when I have one, they can wait a few months.

    If you save it for Christmas, you'll have more time to wait for a kicka$$ coupon code for them.

    I originally planned to do one each year around his bday.  But by Christmas they were begging for something to show friends so I did one at Christmas.

    I'm going to stick with Christmas so when more children are added I can be consistant.  It'll just be Grandma's annual photo book vs. This Child's 2nd Year type thing you know?

     This is a really good point.  I think I will probably do them now, as Tatum's first year, but then save them for Christmas gifts.

    My SIL has been making my mom a Shutterfly calendar for her office every Christmas since my nephew was born 7 years ago.  Last year she added a few pictures of Tatum to the calendar, and I assume she will keep doing the same.  I want to just make a book of Tatum pictures, though, so I don't think I'm biting on my SIL's gift, right?  And I'm just making a little 4x6 booklet, nothing huge.
