Stimulate conversation — and a few laughs — at the dinner table by placing tiny pictures of your guests in mini albums to mark their spots. Making copies of original photos on a black-and-white copier lets you create a unified look as well as enlarge or shrink the image to just the right size (and you don’t have to cut up your favorite photos). Slip an image into the front window of each book; write a message on the pages inside or just leave them blank. Kolo’s Mini Mini photo albums, available in 10 colors (shown in sage), $4 each, www.kolo.com.
