Have the child draw a picture or pick a picture that is already drawn and get that transparent stiff paper (sorry so tired, can't think - they sell it at Target - it is sticky). Put it in that. If you are feeling really energetic, glue a magnet on the back for the fridge. This is good if you want the present to actually be from the grandchild (versus about the grandchild)

Buy some magnetic paper, find a good picture or two, and print out on the magnetic paper.

I know when I was a kid I made Christmas ornaments. Is your chid creative? Maybe find a recipe for "cookies" that when you bake they get hard, have them make a few ornaments.

OP.

Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure I can select the pics and have it printed by X-mas for calendar/book, but will definitely keep it in mind for next year.

DC is 6, if that helps.

Thanks!

Pictures of grandkids in a frame is always a good gift. Buy one of those family monogrammed frames.

We make a family photo calendar, will be getting extras.

Also getting some individual specific items of things to do with the kids. For example, my mom plays the piano so I got a book of kids songs for the kids to give her.

How old?

Copy of DCs' favorite books so the grandparents can read it to them when they come over?

We always do a photo calendar from Snapfish and a dvd of pics and videos from OneTrueMedia. They might have expedited service to get it by Christmas.

Any ideas? Something that can be purchased or made b/n now and Saturday?
