Are Homemade Gifts Bad?

I've been dating my best friend since middle school since we started college a few years ago. His dad and step mom never really get to see him except like once every other month and they have no other kids so they always miss him a lot. I thought it would be a great idea to put together a photo album of a bunch of pictures of my boyfriend while we've been in college and get them printed to give to them. Is that corny? I've never given anyone a homemade gift
