    Default Where to buy photo album?

    My grandma needs a new one and I'm really struggling to find one. It needs to have the magnetic type of page with the clear plastic that covers it. And it needs to hold a 8x10 photo on a page. Ideally, it should be 'pretty' and not just black. I've looked at Target and Meijer with no luck at all. JoAnn had 1 but it was just plain black and boring. I'll get that if I can't find something better. Any ideas? I'm searching Amazon and it's hard to find.

    I'd head into an old school "5 and dime" type store. You know, the ones that used to be a 99 cent store, and eventually it was just every price ended in .99....

    Thanks. I had checked B&N in the store and they had none. But, did not think to check online. I'll see if I can find one there.

    I'm not sure we have those stores, unless you mean a dollar store? I remember 5 and Dime stores, but I'm not sure where I'd find anything like that.

    My favorites were from Hallmark but I haven't looked in years. They still sell them online so maybe they have them in store too.

    Dollar type store, yes... But not like Dollar General or Dollar Tree. Thinking more of a mom-n-pop type store, that has a little of everything. Or a mom and pop type pharmacy. (Now I'm wondering, do other places outside of the PNW not have these??)

    Hallmark is a great idea! We have that and I will look today.

    I have no idea. Not in my town, but we are not very big and somewhat rural. We don't have anything like that here, but the next town has a dollar store. I'll ask my mom if there are any by here - she lives in a more suburban setting.

    Hallmark is where I've gotten my last ones that seem to match what you're needing. It's been a few years, but their website seems to show several options, so hopefully they'll have them in store!
