ideas for (grand)mom gifts??

Ever since I went back to work, my mom and MIL have been watching LO twice a week each. DH and I want to do something or get them something to show them how much we appreciate it, but we don't have much money. We thought mother's day would be a good time to give them something. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe some craft thing involving LO? Has anyone given "grand mom" gifts that were a big hit? Thanks so much.

    I always am a fan of hand/footprints on a nice thick piece of stock paper and maybe a little poem ;)

    Yesh this is what we always do for gifts! Shutterfly has a lot of photo gift options and you can usually find good deals/promo codes. We've done mugs, travel cups, ornaments, magents, desk organizers, etc. I do them for DH too as Father's Day gifts and stuff.

  • Pinterest has lots of cute ideas

     

  • I totally agree with shutterfly! Cute stuff that's not overly cheesy.

  • My mom is watching LO. We get her something every week from lo - she is saving us a ton of money so a gift card, manicure, etc. is not bad! We also just got her a night stay at an omni, for free, since dh got it from traveling

    We just got MIL a necklace for her birthday from AJ's Collection that has the boy's names printed on it, along with their birthstones. My Mom got me a necklace from there for Christmas and I really liked it. I think it was around $60, with shipping, so not too $$ depending on your budget.

    ETA: For crafts, I like painted handprints or footprints. There are ao many cute ideas with poems for Mother's Day on Pinterest.

  • Yeah! I was also going to suggest those handprint things. They sell them for like $4 at TJ Max, and while you're there you might as well get her a nice candle and some bath salts? I love that place!!!
