Just wondered if you send gifts from your children to their grandparents or do you just send cards? I usually just send cards.
I am selling personalised calenders that would make a nice gift if you are interested please see my signature below:)

I buy for grandparents from all of us, but she gives them a framed photo from the photos shes had taken at school. This year Ive bought a little snowglobe thing, filled with pink stars that I will slot her photo into :)
I used to go out with my stepchildren for them to choose something for their grandparents (and also for mummy and daddy) before Christmas. I miss doing it now I don't get to see them any more.

We normally make them something which seems to be more appreciated than spending money on something.
Some of the things we have done in the past are - handprint picture (we used the fingerprint poem surrounded by several handprints)/ teatowel with handprints or painted with fabric paints, painted plant pots were really nice when they were little, fudge, biscuits (we did some a few years ago that looked like stained glass or some standard biscuits cut out with star/ tree cutters and drizzled with icing), truffles etc all easy to make and very appreciated. This year I have snowglobes to decorate and have a really nice candle making kit that they can do just by warming up the wax in their hands and modelling it :) The kids like doing it and the grandparent appreciate the effort :thumbsup:
