Treasured Gifts for Parents and Grandparents

 Got Kids? Then you have the perfect endless supply of treasured gifts. Pictures of coarse are the best gifts, if you are into scrap booking you can make a beautiful framed collage of the kids playing or better yet hanging out with the parents or grandparents. When making these items get the kids involved gifts always mean more and are more treasured if you involve the kids. Plus the added benefit to you is you can keep the kids busy and they are learning new hobbies besides TV Games! Imagination is key here and has stated in previous posts a little thought goes a long ways, planning is paramount to a stress free project. Make sure you make a complete list of all of the items necessary to finish the project. this will make it more fun for you and the kids if you are getting them involved, this will help keep their interest in the project. If you are a busy housewife, working mom or dad and time is at a premium then purchasing something may be your best option. Things like gift baskets, gift platters, a membership to their favorite spa or club, set mom up for a beautification / relaxation day, there are a lot of places that offer hairstyling, getting their nails done, a massage and more for one price (this is great for Mothers Day). You can also make these gift baskets yourself so that you can personalize them and make them more treasured. A couple of ideas here: Dad or Grandpa likes to golf, buy a small galvanized pail and fill it with his favorite golf ball, a few packages of tees, a small tube of sunscreen, a bottle of white out from an office supply store ( helps him keep his score down) :) then wrap it with some nice golf accented wrapping paper and a nice bow and there you have it. Now this works great for a person who loves to garden, bucket filled with their favorite flower seeds a small bottle of fertilizer, sunscreen a small knee pad, maybe a small hand cultivator of hand shovel. The possibilities are endless again, imagination, imagination, imagination. These are the things that make giving gifts fun and make your gift a more treasured gift for your recipient.
