Mother's Day gift ideas for first time grandmas?

carole&clark

Anyone have any ideas? This is the first grandbaby for both mothers and I can't find anything. They've both already bought themselves the stuff like picture frames and Grandma's brag books and their own pack n plays. We got them "I love Grandma" bibs for Christmas. I wanted to get them at least a little something LO-related since she'll be here soon.

I made my mom a "pregnancy journal/baby scrapbook".  I filled in parts of it, but she has to fill in the rest and add her own pictures.

They have "Grandparents books" where they can write down their family history and what it was like when they're children were born and letters to LO to give them when they're older.

We are doing small gifts this year. My mom is getting this book and a card mailed to her tomorrow:

Our Mom's already have all the grandma stuff. . .frames, books, scrapbooks, etc.  So, we decided we are going to get them a Wysteria plant for their yards.  These bloom in the spring so they will always bloom around the time of year that baby girl is born, and their are beautiful purple flowers so we thought as they grow with LO, we could take pictures by them each year.  We wanted something different than all the regular grandma stuff so this is what we came up with.  Good luck and have fun shopping!

We're not getting any g-ma stuff.. I got mine and SO's mom nice gift packages from Yankee Candle.. We were going to get SO's mom something from things remembered wishing her a happy mothers day from the three of us but I think I'll wait till next year if at all..

It's "mothers day" not grandma day..I never really celebrated with my grandmother..just my mom..

synchro- I love that idea!

I'm writing my mom a letter expressing to her how grateful for I am for the mother she has been and how I can't wait to use what I've learned from her with my daughter.

That's so cute!

We got the grandmas cutesy bibs and I saw this for my mom (MIL isn't a first-time gma), so I got it:

How about a Pandora/ Chamilla Charm bracelet with the grand kids birthstone as the first charm?
