grandparent gifts for Xmas

I want to give the grandparents presents from Will and Dash as part of their Christmas gifts this year. Obvious things are framed photos (we're not doing photobooks until the 1 year mark) or ornaments - like those little clay discs with handprints. Any other ideas that aren't crazy expensive? What are you giving your LO's grandparents this year?

    We did calendars last year and each month had a picture of Bella on it, if there were pictures of Bella and the grandparent, that was in there too. We did it on Walmart and it was super easy and cheap (like less than $15). It was a hit with all 4 grandparents (yep his parents and my parents are both divorced). You can do one pic each month or multiple pics on the month, some months had one pic and some had a few... I had a hard time picking which ones!

    Oh and for Father's Day, I got Ryan a coffee mug for his truck/travels and it has 12 pictures of him and Bella on it. He LOVED it and uses every.single.day... I think it was around $12 I think.

    Oh and FYI, my mom has her calendar from last year and this year hanging up, since she loves them both so much!

    I was *just* Christmas shopping and was wondering the same thing! Ended up getting all presents for the nieces and nephews, but couldn't think of what to get the grandparents.

    I might have to steal this idea too.  Question...did you chose pics that match the month?  Ya know, pumpkin patch pic for October, bathing suit pic for August, etc.?  Just curious.

    I have done this every year for my niece, since I was always the one with the camera.  This year I'm trying to figure out if I do one of just her, or one with pics of her and my LO, or just my LO.  I haven't seen her much since my LO was born b/c he doesn't travel well, so I'll have to depend on pics from other people.

    We tried for ones we had. We had October as her Halloween costume and the summer months were pictures from our Hawaii trip when she was tiny. I also incorporated pictures of her with the grandparent that the calendar was going to. So any pictures of my mom and her husband were included in her calendar, which my mom really loved!
