And you can find inexpensive options on places like etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-need-of-brilliant-gift-ideas-for-grandma-and-nana#post-1246930 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:42:20 +0000 BananaPancakes 1246930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did monogrammed throws for my grandmother and my husband's this year.

Those Shutterfly projects are the best cop-out gifts for me... Other gifts I often get my mom or MIL are: a new purse, slippers, Starbucks coffee beans, fun k-cups for the Keurig, books, cheater reading glasses, gift card to a local day spa (but my mom actually takes an annual trip there, so she definitely needs/wants/uses those) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-need-of-brilliant-gift-ideas-for-grandma-and-nana#post-1246860 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:28:20 +0000 buffalove 1246860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and MIL also give us free childcare, so I feel your pressure to get the something really good! for mother's day, i bought each of them an engraved frame with the title of a song each of them sing to DS. it just kinda worked out in my favor that each of them has a unique song they sing (one is "you are my sunshine" the other is "to know you is to love you"). i just did a 4x6 frame so they can change out the pic regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-need-of-brilliant-gift-ideas-for-grandma-and-nana#post-1246845 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:24:58 +0000 Smurfette 1246845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a necklace like this?

They are both retired, married, like gardening, and words with friends. </p> <p>Each will get a handprint ornament from LO and probably a framed photo (or photobook) from the holiday photo shoot we did with LO. I'll also give a box of homemade cookies (a tradition of mine). </p> <p>Other ideas? </p>
