Day 4: Gifts for Parents and Grandparents

Welcome to Day 4 of our series!

I always find parents and grandparents to be the hardest to buy for at Christmas. I usually start thinking about what I'd like to do in October but haven't really decided on anything firm until.. December 24th. Then I start rushing around and praying that I can finish on time. This year I decided to make something personal but wouldn't take me years to complete. I decided on a photo book.

There are so many great websites out there where you can upload your pictures, put them in an album and then you're done. All for under $30!

I've used both Photobin.com and Shutterfly.com and think they're wonderful. They cost roughly the same for a 20 page hardcover book. If you get a sale, you can get it even cheaper.

How cute are her chubby cheeks?!

I used the pictures from our photo shoot in October. I placed the pictures and text where I wanted them, ordered it, and it was on my doorstep 2 days later. Awesome! 

Here are a few more fantastic ideas from other bloggers: (Remember to pin from the original source!)

1. Postcard Calendar Journal 2. Lavender Sea Salt Scrub 3. Baby Hand Print to Frame

4. Customized Bleach Pen Tea Towels 5. Frame Your Child's Masterpiece 6. DIY Lacquer Boxes

I hope that gives you a few ideas for some meaningful gifts. Heidi will be posting a few more ideas for you tomorrow. Did you see her mugs from yesterday?! It would make me smile whenever I drank my coffee from one :)
