All the parents love a little business card sized photo magnet we get them every year. But I was thinking maybe something else. We've done it all I think (blanket, mug, mouse pad, necklace, frames, no frames, coasters). My DD, age 9, suggested bobble heads.
Have you seen anything new or clever in the way of photo gifting?

Have you given them canvases of the photos? I think that's a thing these days.

I always love Christmas ornaments. Some don't have writing on them, so they can be displayed year round.
If I were a GP I would love to have a non Christmas themed ornament of each of my Grandkids to display on the wall or some sort of metal tree!

I don't think it's new, but we are giving MIL a cover for her ipad with a pic of the grands on it.

I'm making my parents a warm & snuggly winter day basket with coffee, mugs, books, socks, maybe a blanket and a photo puzzle I made on Shutterfly. The puzzle is a collage of all my mom's FB cover photos over the last few years. They have a ranch so they are varied - some of cattle, their house, them and their dog. Fingers crossed it turns out great!

i gotta be honest here
i am a gramma - and i love my grandkids like no other
but i seriously can't imagine carrying a bag with their photo on it
or a mousepad - or any other trinket
maybe it's time to just get them a normal gift and give them 5x7s in a frame
i don't mean to be a joy sucker but i can not be the only gramma that feels this way

ginacivey you made me smile. One of my own grandmothers, who would be 100+ if still living would have said the same thing. Do not interfere with the woman's fashion & accessories!

My mom is so not into photo gifts. Loves the kids, but doesn't need to see their faces on everything she owns. |

LOL! Grandpa gets pissed if we don't send pictures and looks forward to it. One year I got the photo travel mug. Next year I did not. I still hear about it! If he comes to our house and I have new pictures up, I get a lecture. He really does look forward to it! The photo cube was also a big hit with him. One grandma isn't nearly as bad but she too loves the photos. The other gma is overwhelmed by the magnet but she has requested the magnet so that is all for her.
