To turn the original book into a fresh gift to ourselves, I followed these 3 steps:
1. Edit Title Page: To introduce the weekend, I swapped out a photo and musings from the birthday girl with our photo and introductory text.
2. Make Text Changes: Throughout the book, text was tweaked to read from our perspective and a few stories unique to our experience were added. I also removed several pages from the last day of the celebration when we were not present.
3. Resize Book: The original book was a statement piece (as it deserved to be!) in a 13×11 hardcover format. I chose a more casual, 8×8 softcover book from a different printer for this weekend getaway. This size shift from landscape to square required a bit of trickery in inDesign. If you are not comfortable with this software, an easier (and great) choice would be to swap to a similar ratio, but smaller size (i.e. 10×8), format from the same printer.
Wondering about the beautiful book cover? It is a photo of a painting we commissioned as a thank you gift to the hostess, find out more here!
While I’m not sure regifting to yourself is actually a thing, I do like how I was able to relatively easily repurpose one book for two different audiences. If you have ever created a digital photo book gift, perhaps this will inspire you to consider how it might also be enjoyed by someone else!

Changing the title page, rewriting the captions from a different perspective, and removing the final-day pages shows how a photo book can become a genuinely distinct keepsake rather than a simple duplicate. The shift from a 13×11 landscape hardcover to an 8×8 square softcover is also a useful reminder to consider aspect ratios before resizing. That same practical, well-organized approach to preserving meaningful details is what makes メダカ暮らしナビ appealing as a reference.
