Mothers Day Gifts

I gave my father a sweatshirt that says best Grandpa - Hands Down! and I had all the 4 kids put their handprints (with help) and then wrote all their names in glitter paint. He now wants a new one every year to see how they have grown. I also made a tote bag similar for my mom. She keeps her knitting in it.

Hi D.,

I'm planning on ordering mine something from edible arrangements (they do have a website). They are flower arrangements made out of fruit...I think they are fun and a unique spin on the idea of sending flowers...hope this gives you an extra idea.

hand or foot prints...they actually sell kits for garden stones at Michaels(craft store)....or just put his prints in a frame or the same frame as the picture you had taken... or a picture of him with grandma...make it black and white...and you can frame it with a poem....there are tons of mom/grandma poems out there!

A piece of jewelery that proudly displays your son's name or birthstone and name is always a hit! The most popular gift nowadays is a bracelet with your sons name for each grandma.
Check out www.baileysbeadsandbeyond.com to get an idea of what I'm talking about. If not, you can get the little boy charms in gold at your local jewelery store with your sons
name engraved on the front and his birth date on the back. These come in the shape of a little boy or just a head in profile. You can also add to these as your family gets bigger. You can also give www.thingsremembered.com, they have
many lovely pieces of jewelery, including lockets that you can engrave with any personal note you wish. I assure you these 2 new grandma's will wear their gift with pride and show it off every chance they get.

How about earrings with his birthstone, or a charm bracelet and one charm 'from him''- and he can add to it every year on Mothers Day!

Hey D.,
Those new bracelets out, either Pandora or Troll Beads are really great...they have grandchildren charms with the childs birth stone....it can be something that you add to for special Holidays just from your little guy....They have some really neat charms and when he gets older he can pick them out himself...which Im sure both grandms's will love...If you google pandora or troll beads they give you many locations where they are sold....Hope this helps!!
Meg :)

I have to add a second to the pandora charm bracelet idea - my mom loved it and it gives gift ideas for the next few years until it it full! My kids and husband just got me one last weekend as an early mother's day gift and it so beautiful!

We're doing the professional photo thing but will also make stepping stones with handprints for the Grandmas. Not too expensive and will look pretty in the garden. Better yet, do what we're doing and get together with the parents of any nieces or nephews so the Grandmas can have one for each child!

Happy First Mother's Day to you!
