Design Christmas Gifts for the Grandparents

Christmas is once again right around the corner and you’ll soon have the chance to spend some quality time with your family. With lovingly selected Christmas gifts, you can bring special joy to the grandparents, parents, and kids. What could be better than to give them personalised photo gifts with your best family photos so they’ll be able to time and again delve into cherished memories? Surprise the grandparents with self-designed photo products with pictures and works of art from their grandchildren. These gifts are guaranteed to be a hit!

Transform an ifolor monthly planner into a completely personalised year in review as a Christmas gift for the grandparents. Design the 12 month pages with your best photos of memories shared together and excursions with the whole family. Here you can design calendar pages with large-formatted photos stretching across the whole page, place your photos in chic borders, or even create a colourful collage using multiple photos. While designing the calendar, you can also go ahead and add important events, birthdays, or family vacations. You can also spruce up your photos with humorous clipart or add a small photo of the birthday boy/girl next to the corresponding date.

Give your Christmas gift for the grandparents a really special touch and add some of the grandchildren’s drawings in a photo product or in the photo book. Simply scan the little works of art or alternatively take a picture of them laying on a neutral background so you can digitalise them and subsequently use them as pictures for your photo product. With the aid of a simple image-editing program or directly in the ifolor Designer, you can crop the drawings to a suitable size. Then you’ll just have to place these on your photo product or on the pages in the photo book. Use the placeholders to add more photos or text, such as a picture of the little Picasso as well as the date the picture was drawn. Something like a short anecdote or picture title are also perfect for complimenting your child’s work of art.

Special touch on photo products with grandchildren`s drawings

What do you give grandparents for Christmas when they already have everything?

Rather than another object, grandparents are usually happiest with memories they can look at again and again. A photo calendar, a canvas print or a photo mug with pictures of their grandchildren feels more personal than any gift bought in a shop.

Which photo gifts are particularly good for grandparents?

Wall calendars with twelve family moments, a large canvas print for the living room or a photo mug for the morning coffee are popular. A photo puzzle or photo memory game with the grandchildren also brings cosy hours and fresh joy each time they look at it together.

How can I use children's drawings in a gift for the grandparents?

Simply photograph the children's drawings and have them printed on a photo mug, a cushion or in a small photo book. That way you turn scribbled memories of the grandchildren into a lasting gift that grandparents will be especially delighted with.

Which gift is especially emotional for grandparents?

A photo collage with pictures from different years shows how the grandchildren have grown and brings back many lovely memories at a single glance. Combined with a personal message, it becomes a gift that grandparents will happily pick up again and again.

How can several grandchildren design a gift together?

Collect the best photos from all the grandchildren and put together a collage or a small photo book. That creates a gift everyone has contributed to, and the grandparents can see at a glance what the whole family experienced over the past year.
