Ideas for a Grandma gift bag?
My husband and I (well, lol, it was my idea, and he doesn't know it yet!)
plan to give a small gift bag to each of our mothers on the day they first visit the baby. It looks like it will be while we are still in the hospital, I can compromise on that as long as they let us have a "lone" homecoming and some time to ourselves when we first get home. The only concern I have about hospital visitors is I will be trying to establish breastfeeding and can't do that with people milling around. I won't be in the hospital that long anyway unless I end up having a complication. So anyway I am looking for some ideas on little things I can put in a gift bag for each grandma. I have thought of a bib they can keep at their house that says something about Grandma on it, and a small photo album, one of those "Grandmas brag book" things. I really also wanted something more of a keepsake type of thing..... Any ideas? |

How about a couple of picture frames and some nice fancy paper... ask the nurse/doctor to make an extra set of baby foot prints on each and frame them for the Grandmas? Marion |

So anyway I am looking for some ideas on little things I can put in a gift bag for each grandma. I have thought of a bib they can keep at their house that says something about Grandma on it, and a small photo album, one of those "Grandmas brag book" things. I really also wanted something more of a keepsake type of thing..... We gave each set of grandparents a Grandparents Book which is filled with questions and prompts so that they can fill it in and eventually give it back to T - it's things like "What do I remember about my childhood?" and "The house I grew up in was..." so that the grandparents can do some reminiscing and the child gets a keepsake of the grandparents' lives. Both sets really liked these, and we're hoping they'll finish them for T's first birthday this summer (MIL's done hers, my mum is inking hers in now, the two grandads still have to finish their questions).

Not really a keepsake, but when I was pg with DS, I
gave my mom some magnet picture frames (shapped like a train and sunflowers, I think) for her birthday as "grandma gear". -- Emily mom to Toby 5/1/02 Scheherazade, stillborn at 20 weeks, 3/2/04 |
