Also cute crafts from the kids are a hit. I've made photo calendars, mugs, and coasters before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366850 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:20:24 +0000 gingerbebe 2366850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Get her a fruit basket. Like a box of pears from Harry and David. It's healthy and fancy and in your price range. Even if she's on a low sugar diet she may appreciate having some fresh fruit to snack on during the holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366840 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:14:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2366840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a few books and include the receipt </p> <p>Maybe your LO can scribble on paper and you can turn it into a book mark.</p> <p>Add a photo and be done </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366834 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:11:38 +0000 kentuckygirl 2366834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A personalize photo calendar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366804 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:36:58 +0000 tofuwad 2366804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe get her a book that's one of those 1000 books Everyone Must Read, plus a book light, or maybe a gift card to her favorite bookstore (or a book and a gift receipt?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366798 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:30:39 +0000 MaryM 2366798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instead of food, could you do something like tea or coffee? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366795 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:29:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2366795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fancy bookmark(s)<br /> Tote bag (for more books)<br /> Tea, honey, teacakes (to enjoy with the books) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366792 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:28:50 +0000 sslm 2366792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: @MaryM: forgot to mention she's on some kind of insane diet right now, so food seems like a bad choice :(</p> <p>@regberadaisy: She probably would, but the relationship between her and I, and her and my mom (even though she's her mother) is very strained. That is a really nice idea though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366782 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:17:22 +0000 MaryM 2366782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think edibles are a great idea for someone who has too much "stuff". </p> <p>My go to is usually Wolfermann's. They have great baked goods and do baskets. Maybe you can frame it as tea or coffee for her and her friends/family? (their english muffins are AMAZING) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366749 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 09:55:16 +0000 erinbaderin 2366749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A cozy sweater or blanket? A scarf? One year I got my Nana an electric blanket...or what about a fancy food gift basket? Chocolates or jams/cookies or something?</p> <p>Or do you think she'd appreciate something like a donation in her name? We used to get my Papa and his wife something from Plan Canada, like a goat or a flock of geese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366744 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 09:52:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2366744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: do you think she would be interested in doing a holiday activity with you and your DD? Like maybe tea/lunch with Santa with you, dd and your mom? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-my-grandmother#post-2366737 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 09:47:37 +0000 sslm 2366737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HELP! She's so challenging to buy for. She says she has too many pajamas/slippers, she hates anything scented, she reads a lot but has a ton of books and I have no way of knowing what she has... Her condo is completely decorated, filled to the brim. The only idea I have is more framed photos of my DD, but we do that basically every year. And this year we didn't get any professional photos done.</p> <p>She doesn't really eat out, or go to movies... she doesn't do things like manicures or pedicures, or get her hair done really.</p> <p>We also don't get along super well... not sure if that matters.</p> <p>My budget is $30-40. Help please! </p>
