I'm not in the picture - is that okay?

[BroccoliSpears]

Sorry to ask such a trivial question but I'm getting organised and everyone in my house is asleep. Thought there might be a mumsnetter drifting past with an oppinion to share...

For Christmas, I thought dd (17mths) could give her Great Granny a picture of herself in a pretty frame. We live far away and rarely see Great Granny, though she is very interested in dd (only great grandchild) and loves to get updates on how she's doing.

So, sorting through the pictures I've found a lovely one of dp and dd together. I can't decide if it's weird to give her a family picture with me missing, or lovely to give her a picture of her grandson and his daughter.

Anyone?

it is a nice thing. Go for it

I wouldn't worry about it, as long as it doesn't bother you that you're not on it (which it doesn't seem to).

Not weird at all. A lovely gift.

One piece of advice: try to make sure the frame is like others in her house. I gave my dd's Great-granny a lovely photo in a very pretty frame from Monsoon. She didn't like the frame.

Thank you all! Snap now ordered in appropriate size.

Good thinking re frame Yama.

No problem. Most folk wouldn't say if they didn't like the frame but Great-grannies .....

My MIL has been known to take the photos out of the frames and hand us back the frames 'because she already has too many photos cluttering up the place'. So for her birthday we got her a digital photo frame!
