Photo albums are a more secure way to safeguard memories than encapsulating them in a bottle at sea or writing them into a pop-culture-reference-heavy comedy act. Preserve precious recollections with this Groupon.

$9 for 8"x8" Personalized Leather-Bound Photo Book ($49.99 Value)

Customers upload favorite images and use the company's online tools to gussy them up using templates, backgrounds, and clip art. The book includes 20 pages, though up to 60 additional pages can be added for an extra fee ($0.50/page). Within 15 business days, customers receive their cowhide-swathed creation, which they may place upon a coffee table or bury in a backyard time capsule alongside a collection of passé coffee tables. Check out this video demonstration to get a fully detailed breakdown of the process. Customers can also apply this deal toward soft-cover, larger leather, or supreme velvet photo books for an extra fee.
