Gifts for grandparents?

What are you getting YOUR grandparents for the holidays? (not baby's grandparents-your grandparents) I'm stumped.

    We don't usually do gifts for grandparents.  If I were going to I would probably do a nice picture frame or something like that.

    We got one grandma a candle and the other a wind chime.  Sorry, we have no grandpas left so I can't help you there.

    What about picture frames that you can have personalized so that when your baby is born, you can just send some pictures.

    We always get my grandfather some type of book.  A nice ornament is always an idea for grandmothers.

    We don't usually buy for grandparents.  Last year we gave them all a framed wedding photo.  We probably won't do anything this year.

    My grandparents are like my parents so we generally do pretty good gifts.  This year Gram is getting a DVD player and some DVD's.  Gramp is always harder to buy for but he'll probably end up with a Casino GC.

    I'm stuck on this also.  I think my grandma is more excited about becoming a great-grandma than my mom is about becoming a grandma.  I'd like to get her something baby related but I'm not sure what.  I can't find any "great-grandma" stuff.  I was thinking about getting a frame engraved and then sending her a picture once the baby arrives.  Now I just need to think of what to say on the engraving.

    Our gifts this year for everyone are mostly gift cards: for car washes (you can get 10 packs), molly maids, salon/spa, Omaha steaks, etc. But we are also getting Amaryllis plants for "minor" gifts - like for our doctor, nurses, co-workers, etc.

    My one set of grandparents doesn't really need any "things" so we usually get them a dried fruit assortment and shortbread (two foody items they like). My other grandmother reads all day long/stays in her house, so a paperback, crossword puzzles or real puzzles are always appreciated by her.

    We make them different little gift baskets depending on what type of stuff they like. This year we did lotions, coffee stuff, and sweets.

    Ooh you ladies have given me some great ideas! My dad's parents are coming out to my parent's house in a few weekends and since it's just going to be a very small gathering around Christmas I feel like I should get them something small. I really like the idea of a little gift basket with foodly items and maybe a picture frame so I can send pics after the baby comes. They are very excited to be great-grandparents so I know it will be very much appreciated. Thanks for all of your help!
