Small gifts for grandparents

[ANewHope18]

Does anyone have ideas for small gifts for grandparents (and aunts and uncles). My DD will be one and I'd like to give them a gift from her at Christmas. Max £15 per gift.

They already have keyrings and I bought my mum this www.notonthehighstreet.com/sophiavictoriajoy/product/personalised-pull-out-photo-album-token-gift for her birthday which she loved.

I'm hoping it'll be easier when DD is older and she can make them something

We made salt dough hand print ornaments for our first Christmas. Dry them out slowly for a day before baking them to avoid cracks.

Most of the paint your own pottery places have Christmas baubles. You could put your daughters handprint on a bauble with x’s first Christmas on it

Personalised mugs? Though I’m not trying to be mean, but often gifts “from the baby” aren’t really for the recipients rather the giver. Not everyone is quite so enamoured by your child’s handprint/ photo etc as you’d think.
So a practical gift like a mug with photo of the child the person is maybe an idea- or if they help out with childcare it would be nice to give a thank you type gift like voucher for a cream tea or similar.
As a grandma I would like a small canvas print of my grandson or a photo of the two of us... or a wee photo book from across the year?

Do you have nice photos of the relatives with your DD? We bought lovely frames and gave everyone a photo of them with DD and a small box of chocolates. Went down very well with everyone, and cheap.

Hmm, as a grandparent I personally would not want anything that's not consumable. So, the only suitable type of gifts, imo, are either something edible or something that will get used up (such as soap).

In my experience (my own views and from speaking to friends) most people don't want to receive things that will just become clutter and that they will never use. Honestly, if they need a keyring or suchlike they will have already got one!

Maybe the best course would be to ask them what they would like. At least then you won't be wasting your time and money and they won't be left with more unwanted stuff to get rid of.

I'm a GP and I definitely don't want any more Stuff. We're gradually trying to get rid of things! Photos of Gdcs always welcome, though.

A small box of chocs always goes down well here - as long as there aren't any white choc ones, which IMO are the work of Satan. I wouldn't even turn my nose up at a box of Maltesers - Father Christmas please note!

Thank you for the suggestions!

I think I'll go with consumables and add a framed photo for the grandparents 👍

Handprint baubles or mugs. Alternatively, a nice photo in a nice frame. Ours are a bit bigger now, but they always give grandparents a copy of their school photo (they had a frame the first year), a school tea-towel (the type with self portraits on) and a calendar with photos of them from the equivalent month, taken in the year running up to Christmas.

We do photo calendars. We get a Groupon deal every year (the deal has gone live this week - Colorland, NOT Printer Pix, which are shite!) and get them printed in October using corresponding photos from the preceding year, as per PP.
