Celebrate the bond of grandparents with a special Christmas gift. Becoming a grandparent is something many parents look forward to. Celebrate this important milestone by giving them a special gift that honors their new grandparent status. They will love showing off the fact that they are now grandparents to the whole world, and will cherish your gift for years to come.
Something that your parents have never gotten to have before are personalized grandparent items. A coffee cup, t-shirt or tote bag proclaiming that they are a new grandparent will bring a smile to new grandparents’ faces. Or you could have a Christmas ornament personalized for the Christmas tree. If you’re crafty, make something yourself for a gift that will be treasured even more.
Every new grandparent can’t get enough of pictures of their precious grandbaby. Frame a big photo for the grandparents to display in their living room, or make them a scrapbook of your baby’s life up to this point. Another idea is to arrange for all of the generations of your family to have a professional portrait taken. Allow for some one on one shots of baby with the new grandparents. Have the pictures framed once they are ready and give them as a memorable gift.
A new grandmother will love a piece of jewelry celebrate her new grandchild. A grandmother bracelet is much like a mother bracelet, with letter blocks spelling out the name of the new grandchild along with pretty beads. A birthstone necklace with the child’s birthstone is another idea. Lastly, a locket with a newborn picture of the baby inside will never leave grandma’s neck.
Use photo programs to create a slideshow DVD of the new baby to give to the grandparents. You can choose different themes and select music to play while the photos scroll by. This is a touching gift that will allow the new grandparents to view all of the pictures of the new baby at once. Start with some pregnancy photos and go up until the present.
