A picture is worth a thousand words.

Your sense of smell may closely be associated with memory, but these heartwarming photo gift ideas will surely conjure up some sweet sentiments.

Plus, photo-related gifts are ideal for everyone—even kids!

Thankfully, photo gifts nowadays have gotten more creative than a few years ago when the only options were pictures in frames.
