Re: What are you getting your grandparents?

  • I never know what to get them... this year i'm getting them a Wolferman's gift basket...
  • Gpa is getting "Grand Turino" for his gift.  Gma-IL is getting a tabletop slot machine.

    :oD  I love my family.

    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.
  • Homemade ornaments from the kids, a ribbon bookmark for gma and havent figured out the rest, i better start coming up with some ideas.
  • I just got married over the summer so DH and I are getting them pictures of the wedding in a frame.
  • Only one living grandparent between us, and she's getting a photo frame with an inscription. It says something along the lines of "Love is passed through the generations" (I know that's not right but I'm not gonna go digging for it). I got it in July when I saw it because she's always hard to buy for and with so many of her grandkids getting married these days, we figure it'll be cute. We'll probably put in a few photos of our wedding and BIL's wedding, and one of a cousin's recent wedding if we can find one, but she can always cycle through photos too. She likes to AW out her grandkids and their ILs.

  • I am making my grandfather a cd of me singing. He has been asking me for a few years and until now, I haven't had the equipment to do it. I will also be getting him chocolate.

    I'm not sure what I am getting my grandmother yet.

    I have no idea what we are getting SO's grandparents since they are coming out here this year

  • DH's grandma- ornament and monogramed hand towels (she just got remarried last month and needs new initial towels!)

    My grandma- gift card to McDonalds (she eats there 2 x a week for breakfast)


  • Homemade cookies/ pies/ breads.  G-pa is a widower and doesn't bake for himself.
  • GC to eat somewhere nice and a calendar with family pics and everyones B-Days & Anniversaries on it. They have trouble remembering everyones!
  • I usually make quilts or throws for my grandparents.  I let DH decide what to send his grandma.  This year I think they are getting gift cards.

  • Ever since the Christmas when Grandma opened the Belleek vase I gave her and immediately whipped out a Sharpie and wrote my name on the bottom, saying, "Now you'll be sure to get it back when I pass", I've stuck to consumables for grandparents.
  • I got my grandma a new wallet.  She loves purses, wallets, jewelry and stuff.  Don't know what I'm getting grandpa yet...

    DH's grandma doesn't celebrate christmas (she's a jehova's witness) but his grandpa does.  I usually give them some homemade strawberry bread or goodies like that.

  • I got this idea from another post on the nest: A handmade breakfast basket. I'm going to buy a photo breakfast tray (below) and insert photos of my son and photos of them with him, then fill with a handmade blanket, homemade pancake mix, hot chocolate mix, a couple good books, and some fresh baked scones or something. I have very young grandparents who still like to cook and entertain, so I think they'll use the mixes and that.
  • i have 1 Gma left and she is on a tight budget, so i get her a GC to a local grocery store.

  • My Gma is getting a digital photo frame...his will get a gift card to the local health food store (they are huge health nuts)
