Giving framed photo of DD to grandparents etc as Christmas pressie.

[jumpyjan]

Do you think that is an ok thing to give as a christmas gift?

She is only 9 months old so noone has really got a nice framed pic of her yet so thought it might be a nice idea.

Will be quite pricey so won't be able to get anything to go alongside it.

it's a great idea, and as you say by the time you have paid for the photos and the frame it's not cheap. I'm sure they'd love it.

lovely gift, i do this ALL the time..to cut price, take some nice pics of your dd then go to tk maxx , cheapy card shops, you can get some lovely reasonably priced frames from there and wrap up in plain paper than youve helped dd make her handprints on in paint!

ahh lovely idea re wrapping paper missinvisible.

it's exactly what we did on DS's first christmas... and all the grandparents and great grandparents (first timers on all sides) were very pleased. If prompted by them we give them an up to date photo to put in the same frame each year.

Lovely idea. I give my dad one every year actually, as he lives abroad and doesn't see DS often. He says it's his favourite present, hands down.

hope its a good idea - I'll be doing it

and wihtou wanting to be a cheapskate... tesco do offers on some really nice photos frmaes dduring the year - worth stocking up on. I bought really nice white ceramic ones for £2.50 each...

Thanks everyone - you have helped me make up my mind. Reckon thats about 5 christmas pressies sorted in one go - hooray

I did it with our wedding photo's and everyone loved them. So really good Idea.

if you ahve digi camera you could even mess around with the pic on photo shop or the like and do it black and white/sepia etc, i like putting 'frosting' around the edges of dd's

Boots have long term offer of BOGOF on their photo frames.
