The Day That Picture - Amazing Gift for New Parents

Amazing Gift for New Parents. I remember when we had our first born my NCT group mass ordered these beautiful sunrise and morning photos from The Day That. That was now over ten years ago. In those hazy first days, I sort of went along with it.Â I liked the idea of having something different to commemorate the birth of our firstborn.

Amazing Gift for New Parents

What I did not anticipate was that it would become one of my most favourite keepsakes and it has hung in our lounge ever since. Not only that but when our second son came along and made our family complete I brought another. Becoming a parent for the first time and welcoming another baby into the home is a celebration. And I wanted something unusual to mark the occasions.

This is why when The Day That got in contact and asked if we would like to review one of their pictures I said yes. I already knew the quality and loved the concept of what they were doing.

Who are The Day That?

The Day That was created on the birth of a little boy back in 2005. When the founder gave his parents a picture taken on the day of this birth. Ever since that point in the mid Summer, the photographers have been taking pictures at sunrise every single morning. Curating a library of pictures from dawns and sunrises over the Cornish coastline.Â They are the only UK photographers to do this. The reason is put very eloquently on their website:

The story of The Day That symbolises the very emotion the beginning of a new day evokes. Everyone can think of their special day â€“ a point in time where their life changed. It sounds dramatic, but there are simple changes in life worth remembering â€“ itâ€™s a pause against a point in time â€“ time to reflect and recall, remember, reminisce and rejoice

Things I love about our Amazing Gift for New Parents

Other than the obvious emotional sentiment attached to the pictures there are many other reasons why I went ahead and brought a second picture.

The ordering process is so straightforward. You simply select the date you are interested in and then you are presented with the photos that are taken on that morning. There is a selection of both landscape and portrait images so that you can find one that suits the space you want to hang it.
It is also possible to compare two photos directly on the website.
There are also lots of options for ordering, so it is easy to find something for your budget. They offer everything from digital downloads, to unframed and unmounted prints, to mounted and framed prints.
There are six different frame style options and five different print sizes. The sizes range from A4 through to 60 cm x 80 cmÂ and prices start at Â£35 for a digital image.
It is possible to add a personalised message at the bottom of the picture on the mount. Both the boy’s pictures have their name and the date of their birth along with ‘the first day’. For the picture we were sent for review we chose the day our honeymoon started. This was so that it would hang nicely with the boy’s pictures when we move. As we will have them hanging all together.
Another common message would be names, dates, and ‘Wedding Day’. You have 55 characters so there is plenty of flexibility.
Not only have we brought two of these but we have given a number as gifts and they have always been received gratefully, normally with tears. Because they are so unusual and thoughtful.
