Grandparents


Question Posted Sunday November 19 2006, 2:33 pm

15/f. every year for Christmas my family goes crazy trying to think of good christmas presents for my grandparents. they are really hard to buy for, because if you ask them what they want they say that they don't need anything, but we have to get them something. and when we do come up with really good ideas they never even use the presents. so this year i was thinking of making them homemade presents so that they would mean more. but i have no clue what to make. any suggestions would really help! thanks

Thats a great idea! You should definatly do that. Now what to make... You could try making a picture frame and decorate it, and put a picture of you and them, or you and you siblings (if you have siblings) in it. Or, you could make a christmas ornament, I don't know what would be good, but if you go on google you will definatly find something. You could make some artwork. Sometimes things that are super simple to make look amazing. You could find something that they gave you, and like frame it (I saw this on Oprah, this girl framed a feather that her late husband had given her, it was sooo sad, but looked completely spectacular on her wall) but if you don't have that kind of talent (Don't feel bad, I doubt that I do) you could frame something you find at the store, or make a collage of your family (like your parents when they were little, you when you were growing up, your parents wedding, something like that,) and frame it. Or if you are super artistic (cool! I wish I was you!) then you could maybe draw something or paint something. Like their house, or their backyard or something super cool like that.
No matter what they are going to love it, I know all grandparents say that, and it's true, they will love it, but if it is something that you work hard to make, they will love it ten billion times more.
No matter what you make if you put your heart in it, they'll treasure it forever. Good luck, maybe you'll find the hidden artist in you (or if it's not hidden, this is a great chance to show it off,) I hope I gave you an idea! Love, Angie91

a photo album would be really sweet. or if they have a DVD player and you have the stuff to do it, like windows movie maker, you could burn them a photo/slide show dvd. my boyfriend did that for his aunt and it turned out great. you could ask your parents or aunts/uncles for pictures of them from their childhood, or pics of their kids and grandkids and put them in a chronological kind of order. grandparents love that kind of stuff =]

OOhh.. how about you search online for a good love poem, and then read the poem to them, then make a heart that says "i love you"

Or if you're a good writer, then create your own poem and say it to them.

You can also search online for good projects to do.

I hope I helped!
