7 best photo gift ideas for Grandparents' Day 2022
Uh-oh. Have you forgotten all about National Grandparents' Day? Whoops!
Don’t panic, you’ve still got until October 2nd to grab them a special gift from the grandkids, and we’ve come up with a bunch of creative ideas to get you started.
You know that Grandma and Grandad absolutely love looking through happy family memories, so here are the best photo gifts for grandparents this year. After all, special nanas and papas deserve special treats.
1. Photo books filled with grandparent adventures
Holidays. Trips to the zoo. A family picnic at the park. The kids have been on all kinds of amazing adventures with Grandma and Grandad, so these happy stories could soon become a page-turner unlike anything else on their shelf.
You’ve got all these amazing memories saved somewhere on your camera roll, so stick them in a photo book, add some special messages, and craft a book they won’t want to put down.
2. Photo coasters made from the grandkids’ drawings
The little ones love drawing animals, faces and all kinds of other colourful things, so you’ll want to share their best pictures with Nana and Papa. Instead of simply sticking them on the fridge, turn the kids’ best doodles and scribbles into photo coasters that brighten up the coffee table!
Just ask the kids to draw something special for their grandparents, take a snap of their artwork, and then simply add your photo to a coaster they’ll love. Easy.
3. Photo cushions for endless grandkid cuddles
Let’s face it, grandparents can never have too many cuddles, but maybe the grandkids think they’re now too cool for hugs and kisses. Sigh. It’s inevitable, really.
Ah well, the grandkids might have grown up a bit, but you can simply add their smiley faces to a huggable photo cushion so that gramps can enjoy cuddles whenever they want!
4. Photo mugs that remind them they’re the BEST
Grandma and Grandad love a good cuppa, especially if they’re drinking from a mug that makes them smile. It’s scientifically proven. Probably.
Well, nothing brightens their brews quite like an adorable photo with the grandkids. Find a super-cute photo of them together, then simply add a message that says something like “Best Grandad Ever”, and create a photo mug they’ll always choose from the cupboard.
5. Frame photos of the grandkids’ first day at school
You’ve just spent a fortune on new uniforms and finally got the kids smiling for the camera, so now you’ll want to share their adorable school snaps with Grandma and Grandad.
The timing’s perfect, really. They’ve just started a new school year and their grandparents will LOVE the photos you’ve taken, so quickly stick your snaps in a frame and make sure it’s a day they never forget!
6. Photo crystals that preserve their favourite photos
There’s a good chance that Grandma and Grandad love a good ornament, and there’s an even better chance that they love displaying family photos. They just can’t get enough of them.
So, turning a happy family photo into an ornamental photo crystal will be right up their street. Not only will this be a fine addition to their shelf, but our photo crystals will preserve their cherished photos forever - so they’ll never have to worry about their memories fading!
7. Heart collages that include the whole family tree
Grandparents' Day is all about showing Grandma and Grandad just how much you love them. Well, we’re pretty sure a giant, beautiful and unique heart collage will get the job done. The message doesn’t get much clearer, to be honest.
Making a collage out of their favourite grandkid photos is always a good idea, but you could always go one step further and create a collage of your whole family tree. Hey, all the aunts, uncles, cousins and other family members love your grandparents too!
