If you wondering what to get for that special person on Mother’s Day, you should take a look at something that’s already on your computer — iPhoto Books and Calendars. My wife and I have made several iPhoto Books over the past couple of years and they are always a topic of conversation for people visiting our house. We have two books of special vacations and a calendar of me rocking out on stage with my Les Paul.

The iPhoto Books come with photo-wrapped covers and matching dustjackets. An extra large hardcover book costs $49.99 and a large book costs $29.99. You can also order a softcover book in a variety of sizes for $3.99-$19.99.

You can setup the layout and what pictures go where directly in iPhoto. Making the book consists mostly of dragging and dropping your favorite pictures.

If this is something you are considering, you should start now. To receive your books in time for Mother’s Day using standard shipping, orders must be received by May 2. If you want express shipping, orders must be received by May 3.
