That old adage about a picture being worth a thousand words carries new meaning. It's 2019 and our social spheres are flooded by virtual visuals that leave little space for the more classic photo moments. But, just because the fleeting likes of Instagram Stories and TikTok are monopolizing our sights doesn't mean the lasting power of a physical snapshot is lost on us. To prove it, we found the best giftable examples.

Going the old-school photo route is a savvy holiday-gift choice for three reasons: it's easy, affordable, and still uniquely personal. If you're yawning at the thought of lackluster calendar books and mousepads, don't worry — we're only featuring the trendiest of picture presents that money can buy. From instant-digital hybrid cameras to mug-shot picture pillows and unexpected frames, each of the tangible memory-keepers ahead is worth way more than a thousand words.
