Artifact Uprising Hardcover Travel Photo Book: $57.60+
We have plenty of people on our gift lists who both love to travel and take tons of stunning photos as they explore the world, which is why we love the idea of gifting an Artifact Uprising Hardcover Travel Photo Book for the holidays. These hi-res photo books turn travel photos into a coffee table-worthy album, with easy customization, plenty of layout options and the choice for books with 50, 100 or 150 pages. Plus, if you don't have access to any of their images (or are cutting it a little close to the holiday), Artifact Uprising also sells gift cards, so you can help your giftee customize their own Travel Photo Book exactly as they please.
