Are you looking for family history gifts? Do you know someone who loves discovering and sharing their family history? Perhaps a parent, grandparent or a close friend? For a few great gift ideas, below are family history gifts a fan is sure to love.
These family history gifts vary in time and cost and can be given either collectively as a family or by one person.
Family History Gifts
- A Favorite Photo Framed
Do they have a favorite photo tucked away somewhere? If the photo is in poor condition or too small to display, have it digitally restored, enlarged, reprinted on archival paper and framed. - A Stroll Down Memory Lane
Take a drive or stroll through the neighborhood where they grew up. Encourage them to share their memories. If the whole family comes along, rent a van and hand out an itinerary with the history and highlights. - Archival Photo Albums
Old family photos are best stored in albums free of acid and lignin (an acidic compound that gives trees their rigidity). Give the gift of an archival photo album to help them preserve their priceless old family photos. - Old Family Photos
Give the gift of a day going through old family photos together. Label, organize and learn about the stories and family history behind them. Finally, scan the photos so they can be preserved and shared among family members or upload to a family website for everyone to access! - Family History Video
For a truly special gift, capture their family stories and history in a Family History Video or Family Legacy Video. You can either do it yourself or hire a professional. Either way, knowing their family history will be preserved for younger generations to know is a gift guaranteed to move them deeply. - A Decorative Family Tree
Give the gift of a personalized, decorative family tree. Check out Etsy for a wide assortment in every price range. - Digitize their Old Home Movies
Give the gift of digitizing their home movies. There are many companies that offer this service so you just google the one that best fits your needs. - A Subscription to Ancestry.com

Give your parent or grandparent the gift of a lifetime by capturing his life story for your family to know!
Here at Family Tree Video we produce Legacy Videos, modern-day memoirs that weave a filmed interview with a grandparent together with family photos, documents, maps and other memorabilia. The result is a beautiful “moving portrait” capturing your loved one as they recount their life story, family history and memories – a gift your family will treasure for generations to come.
Your stories are too important to leave to memory. To learn more about giving the gift of a Legacy Video, visit FamilyTreeVideo.com.
