For many people, a holiday can end up being the highlight of their year. It is a chance to unwind, visit new and exciting destinations, explore, and share special moments with family and friends. But when you return home, there’s no reason why you should lock up the memories and forget about all the good times, as there are some fun and unique ways you can display them.
Here’s a look at five perfect ways to display your holiday memories so you can look back on them year-round.
Choose an Item to Collect
One of the best tips for anyone who wants to display holiday memories is to choose one item that you will collect and purchase each time you travel. Make sure to pick an item that will be easy to find in each destination, yet will have a unique spin so you remember where it was from. For some people that could mean collecting decorative plates, mugs, postcards you can frame, artwork, tapestry or even a small sculpture or statue.
Be mindful of how much room your collection will take up and how you can display it, as this may help determine the best item to collect.
Create a Professional Looking Photo Album
Another way to display your holiday memories is to create a photo book or photo album. These photo books have a hardcover with proper binding so it looks like real books you would purchase in a store. They will stand up well over time, and they are perfect for displaying on a coffee table. You can even make a new one for each holiday you go on. Over time, you will create an entire book collection of photo memories.
Make a Homemade Calendar and Countdown to Your Next Holiday
If you like something more understated that isn’t too showy in the house, a photo calendar can be a great idea. You can pick 12 of your favourite photos to use, or opt for a layout that gives you the option to make a collage each month. Your photo calendar can also help you countdown your next holiday.
Digital Photo Frames are a Simple Solution
If you’re looking for a simple solution that you can continually swap out and change, a digital photo frame is ideal. Simply insert the memory card or stick and the frame will shuffle through your photos. You can label each trip you go on so you can swap out the memories as you feel like it.
Turn Collectibles into Wall Art
Photo boxes can be a great way to display many special memories such as ticket stubs, boarding passes, postcards, wristbands, maps and more. Each photo box can signify the best of the best from a trip.
It’s always sad to come home from a great holiday, but there’s no reason why the good times have to end. Each of these tips and ideas gives you a way to display your holiday memories and enjoy them for many years to come.
