Does this sound familiar? You go on vacation and spend a week or two having a blast while taking tons of photos and lots of videos to document your trip. You arrive home, upload some of the best shots to Facebook, and then forget about the rest until you need to delete them to make space on your phone. You dump your photos in a folder on your computer labeled “vacation” and never look at them again.

Next time you take a trip, don’t let those special memories be forgotten! There are plenty of creative, fun ways to preserve your vacation photos and videos so you never forget what a great time you had traveling. Here are some of our favorite examples of making the most of your vacation memories.

Make a calendar. Enjoy your vacation pics all year long by having a photo calendar printed. Simply choose a photo to represent each month’s page, then head to your local photo shop to have the calendar printed. For an easy online option with plenty of predesigned templates to choose from, check out Shutterfly. Or, if you’ve taken a lot of photos, you can make a page-a-day desk calendar with Social Print Studio.

Create a YouTube channel. Share your vacation videos with friends and family by creating a YouTube channel and uploading all your video clips there.
