If we have photos taken or they like a particular photo we give them their print of choice just because, not for a special present. I have no idea how I'll be as a grandma but I think I'd prefer not to get only photo gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246655 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:37:44 +0000 autumnlove 1246655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never print pics so I would love these gifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246626 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:31:18 +0000 regberadaisy 1246626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I know both grandmas love brag books bc they can put it in their purse and pull it out to show off pictures to their friends. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246621 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:30:33 +0000 Mamaof2 1246621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I like my Calendar of Aussies (my dog) haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246619 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:30:00 +0000 Mamaof2 1246619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @lamariniere: @Dandelion: @cmomma17:<br /> Wow - maybe I am just not as sentimental as others - haha</p> <p>For mothers day I was given 4 coasters of DD with her picture modged podged on them - I kept one and threw the rest away - I am not a big "saver" - I also throw away a TON of artwork and only keep a few special pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246618 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:29:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1246618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: LOL my mom actually loves getting a photo calendar each year from my SIL. And I would usually make her a brag book plus something else. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246608 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:27:49 +0000 cmomma17 1246608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I'm struggling with the grandma gift ideas! My parents don't display photos at home much. And my MIL is a shutterfly master, so she beats us to it usually - she already made her own scrapbook of LO's life so far, she has framed pics of him up in her home, she made me a photo montage mousepad when I went back to work and she gifted us photo coasters last year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246598 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:26:05 +0000 Dandelion 1246598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents and in laws love personalized photo gifts, like mugs and stuff. It's like giving them some bragging rights, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246585 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:24:32 +0000 lamariniere 1246585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure how I will feel about it when the time comes, but my DS's grandparents LOVE when they get photo gifts, or even regular old printed photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246574 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:23:06 +0000 mediagirl 1246574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if my mom told me that she didn't want pictures of her grandkid as a gift, I would be sad! My parents and inlaws love pictures of their grandkids so they can "see" them all year long. I wish my sibling would send me photos of my nephew as a gift! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-become-a-grandma#post-1246566 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:21:35 +0000 Mamaof2 1246566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always see people suggesting photo calendars and photo books and photo frames as gifts but whoa it seems like picture overload!!! When I am a grandma I certainly hope I don't get calendars and photo books for every holiday!</p> <p>Am I the only one?? lol</p> <p>We give pictures out once a year (when they are taken for the bday) and for "gifts" we give things the recipient likes (gardening, music, cooking stuff, flowers, etc) </p>
