The Circle of Love is one of the most ingenious photo collage ideas that we’ve seen, especially for students or family members living away from home.

It’s also a great space-saver, as all family pictures can be incorporated together. The instructions for this great gift can be found here.

Make one for your spouse on your wedding anniversary with photos of both of you over the years, or make one for the grandparents with photos of all the grandchildren. It’s the ideal way of keeping photos that are meaningful to both you and the recipient. And as an added touch, take a little extra time to handwrite a personal note on the back of each photo.
