Gift Idea: Hard bound book.?

I need help with a gift I'd like to do: What company can I use to create a hard bound picture book with text? I'd like to write my own version of "the night before Christmas" but then get digital photos of the people in my office and incorporate it and write my own text in a cute and clever way. Any ideas what company I can use. I feel like I've seen this sort of "design your own book" concept in the Red Envelope magazine or something along that line... Where can I find this? It's just as a gift for someone...not to make the New York Times Best Seller list... LOL. :)

1. Hmmm. I wonder if Kinko's can do something like that?
2. www.lulu.com is a self publishing company that does exactly that. Read through their site to find out the info about what you need to do, and the cost depends on page number, binding style, etc. But still, they're very reasonable and the few books I've had from them where professioinal.
3. what you need is a self publishing company or a POD company. instantpublishing.com or authorhouse.com (if you use authorhouse please give them my name Cathy L. Kaiser)Either one will help you reach your dream with a realistic price. You could do it yourself by printing it then having it punched and bound by spiral wire if you want to do it yourself, however these two mention business i gave you are really good companies that can do it quickly. I just sent a 41 coloring book story to instant publisher like two weeks ago, they already have pinted a hundred and shipped them to me.
