Is your LO "giving" gifts?

Curious to see if your LO will be giving gifts to people -- dad, mom, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. -- and what LO is "giving."

I'm planning small gifts from LO to the important people in his life, and I'm stuck on a couple people. I'm hoping someone will have a brilliant idea I can use as inspiration!

I'm doing that butterfly footprint thing I posted about awhile ago. But butterflies are significant to my MIL.

I'm also giving out 5x7 photos of W in frames to my mom, in-laws, and dad/stepmom.

DD is giving aunts and uncles and grandparents footprint ornaments and shutterfly calendars (her 2014 in review). In lieu of ornaments for the aunt and uncle still living at home, she is giving them magnets of a photo of her + them. She is also giving my lil sis (BBBS) a magnet of the 2 of them. She is giving daddy a framed photo & poem, and something from his list.

So I have an ornament LO is making for grandma/grandpa, other grandma, aunt/uncle. He's giving both grandmas a little picture ornament that says something like best grandma. There is not a comparable grandpa ornament, so I'm a little stuck on what to do for grandpa. There are way more grandma things in the world. I'm thinking picture mug, because that's something that would get used a lot.

We are giving a framed 4x6 picture of the kiddos to all our close relatives from the kids... Grandparents, siblings, parents, aunts/uncles...

DD once gave a Shutterfly photobook of her first year+ of life.

I never gave gifts from DS1 so it would be weird to start now. But I like DP's idea for a book. I would have to incorporate both boys... and maybe announce we are expecting again at the end? :-/

DD is giving a mug with her picture on it to her dad and calendars of herself to her grandparents. She is a little full of herself.

@psk where did you get the mug? I looked at shutterfly, and they look kinda weird, so I'm wondering about the final quality.

She's giving calendars to my ILs, and I'm going to attempt handprint ornaments for my parents and sister.

I make my mom and dad a Shutterfly calendar every year (the same one I make for us with pics of the kids) so that will probably be from them. I'll probably try to get some handprint ornaments made, too, and give those to my parents and in-laws. DS just bought a present for her, so I will choose one of the gifts I have for him and make it from DD.

Hahahahaha I just tried to make an ornament with LO. Hahahahaha. It was a nailed it moment. Back to the drawing board

Just wanted to say the shutterfly mugs hold up really well. I made H one that he uses everyday and it goes in the dishwasher every night. Still looks great.

Good to know! I have one that I made on Shutterfly for myself and have yet to buy it. Why is it so easy to buy everything for everyone else, but not to buy a darn mug for myself??

LO is giving gifts to his godparents and handmade ornaments to his grandparents. 

I also think he'll be "giving" all of his cousins their stockings this year.
