Our Team’s Favorite Gifts

We’re firm believers in the power of a photo. When “thank you”, “I love you”, or “I’m grateful” just isn’t enough to express your deepest sentiments, a picture can say it all. To help you choose the most thoughtful ways to show your friends and family just how much you care, we looked to the experts: our team at Artifact Uprising. Because when it comes to gifting, they know a thing or two about turning those special photos into the best keepsakes. If you’re looking for that perfect gift to spark joy or stir up nostalgia, look no further. These are a few of our favorite AU things.

For Your Chosen Family

Aslee • Creative Director

Gifting: Hardcover Photo Book to College Comrades

Our annual beach trips mark a tradition that we look forward to every year, taking space for ourselves and the formative female friendships created since college. Compiling decades worth of memories in one photo book is the perfect way to honor our ten-year anniversary of travel together.

Amy • Chief Financial Officer

Gifting: Color Series Photo Book to Her Daughter’s Nanny

I create an annual book of memories with photos of our nanny and kiddos captured throughout the year. With a growing to-do list during this season, I love how quick and easy this is to put together — the book comprised of photos pulled directly from the shared album on my phone. The kids love to peek through when they spend time together, doubling as a treat for them, too!

For Those Daily Day-Makers

Rhett • Data Analyst

Gifting: Softcover Photo Book to Flatmates Turned Forever Friends

When I moved into my apartment last year, I would have been happy to co-exist in a space with just about anyone. To my surprise, when I stepped into my new home I also said hello to what are now some of my most valued friendships. We’ve had countless memories made in the last year — and a Softcover Photo Book that gives us a reminder of the good times we’ve had (and a nod to what’s to come).

Morgan • Director of Integrated Marketing

Gifting: Photo Display Ornament to My Sister

Photo ornaments add a certain sentimental touch, a little story, to your holiday home decor. I saw this ornament's classic brass design and immediately knew it deserved a spot on my sister’s tree — and personalizing it with a photo of the two of us will make it all the more special.

Khint • Partnerships Community Manager

Gifting: Brass Easel & Calendar to Colleagues

Surprising my deskmate with a Brass Easel & Calendar is a no-brainer: It serves as a necessary table calendar and a sentimental item in one fell swoop — a gift-giving home run.

06 & 07 & 08

For Multi-Generational Bonds

Kira • Director of Operations

Gifting: Baby Board Book to My Son

I couldn’t ask for a better toddler-proof present — the Baby Board Book houses thick pages that are durable and easy to turn for eager two-year-old hands! An ode to his adoration of animals, I've created an ABCs book of all of his favorite toys and furry friends! He loves looking at pictures of his favorite things.

Morgan • Ambassador & Community Manager

Gifting: Photo-Wrapped Layflat Album to My Parents

My brothers and I share an affection for all things film photography and the ability to capture a fleeting moment in time, so before our family excursion west, we loaded up on provisions to meaningfully document this special trip with my parents in mind. Our trip to Jackson Hole was the first in a few years, and each photo — whether posed or in passing — will be treasured for years to come. We opted for the Layflat Album as a home for these memories: From the cover of the iconic Tetons to each spread perfectly capturing our (many) film rolls, we know this is a gift my parents (and entire family) will cherish forever.

Lauren • Associate Art Director

Gifting: Hardcover Photo Book to My Grandmother-in-Law

My husband's family has had a lakefront cabin in Oklahoma for many years and the last time we all cozied up there on a rare rainy day, I uncovered boxes filled to the brim of old photos from decades past. I snuck away to take photos of these archival prints, and I plan to curate them in a modern Hardcover Book — peppered with new photos and memories to create a true time capsule of this special place. I am gifting a copy of the book to my husband's grandma, and I can't wait to see her reaction.
