Creating Ideas For Personalized Holiday Gifts For Grandparents
Personalized holiday gifts for grandparents are thoughtful and always welcomed
. For people that are difficult to purchase for, a present like this can be the answer. Grandma and grandpa will appreciate the thought that goes into it, and it will be something they will cherish.
Grandparents love presents that are mementos of their grandchildren and can proudly displayed in the home for all to see. Many can be done at home, with a little help from the kids, and others can be ordered and arrive long before the holiday season comes. Some can be purchased and personalized with very little effort. Here are a few simple, easy and fun suggestions that may get the creative juices flowing and result in a wonderful present.
Software can be purchased or found online that can be used to turn regular family photos into a calendar. Find fun pictures from gatherings and events and organize them to fit into the calendar template. Include personal touches like anniversaries and birthdays to complete the idea. This can then be printed either at home or professionally. It can be a monthly, weekly or daily calendar, and often, more than one photo can be added per page for the effect of a collage.
Professional photos of the family are also a super idea. They can then be framed, turned into key chains, or attached to a magnet and provide years of enjoyment for grandma and grandpa. A package can be put together with a variety of photos that are ready to be hung.
Children grow up fast, and a gift that can capture their youth is always appreciated. One nice way to achieve this with finger and hand prints. Purchase appropriately sized frames and small bottles of acrylic craft paint. Using a shallow dish or paper plate, evenly spread paint on it and have the kids place their palm in the paint, and transfer the hand print onto the glass of the frame. Repeat this with the sole of the foot. Be careful to keep the glass on a flat surface to ensure it does not crack. Once dry, the glass can be replaced in the frame. The child's name can be added with paint or decals.
Photos can be used in many other ways as well. There are companies that can place an image on a coffee mug, and can even transfer the image to a pillow or blanket. These are gifts that are useful, thoughtful, and will be used proudly for many years, and are a nice way to display photos in a non traditional way.
These ideas are just a few of the ways to make personalized holiday gifts for grandparents. It is always great to involve the children in the preparation of these gifts as well. Grandma and grandpa will appreciate the effort, and be proud to display the gifts in their home.
