Grandpa Photo Album – Holiday Stories Reading Chair Wooden Album

Regular price $44.99

about this piece

A grandpa photo album for the holiday stories he tells every year. A reading chair, a small lamp and an open book are engraved on the wooden cover above the fixed heading “Grandpa’s Holiday Stories”, with two lines you type beneath it: his name or title, such as “GRANDPA JACK”, and a year or short line, such as “EST. 1953”. The blank pages, with no printed questions, hold family snapshots and the memories his grandchildren write down.

Personalize it in the builder

Choose your Book Size, then the Wood Color, the Paper (sheet count and color), the Binding Color of the vegan leather spine and the Screw Color. The heading “Grandpa’s Holiday Stories” and the artwork are engraved as shown. Then type the Name or Title (for example “GRANDPA JACK”) and the Year or Wording (for example “EST. 1953”). We engrave exactly what you type, nothing added and nothing removed, so please read your entries twice. Add signing markers (black or gold) if you need them, and use Additional Notes for layout wishes or to ask for a digital proof.

Included, shipping and care

You receive the personalized book with the paper you chose; photos, cameras, pens and the styling in the pictures are not included unless you add markers in the builder. Every book is made to order in 1–3 business days, ships with free express shipping and is delivered in about 3–4 business days. Keep it away from damp and direct sun, wipe the covers with a soft dry cloth, and let marker ink dry before you close the book.

Wood is a natural material: grain and tone vary a little from board to board, so the swatches and photos are a close guide, not an exact match. Some lifestyle scenes are digitally enhanced or AI-generated for presentation.
