Not matter if you are buying for a grandparent or aunt and uncle, sometimes it seems like these are the hardest gifts. We don't see them much, so we scratch our heads wondering what to buy for them. As you go through the year, one thought is to listen to hear what they like. Then as the holiday's approaches, you have a better idea of what they would want. We all understand that some family just has everything and do not really need anything. Over the years, I have had to get creative in my shopping. Here are a few of the things I do for extended family. Photo's - Although you may be saying, "Done that." Think again. Not the store bought type of pictures, but those pictures of you and the kids throughout the year. Nothing fancy, just your family as they really are. Maybe outside in the backyard playing in the leaves and you took a great shot of the kids. Maybe you went to the beach and got a great photo of you and your hubby. Go to Wal-Mart; pick out a four photo frame. On the back of the frame, tape a note, telling your favorite moments of each picture. This is not only a memorable gift, but this is a gift that anyone will love. You could also have your pictures done professionally. These are always beautiful and are perfect gifts. Crafts - For anyone who has kids, this is an option. Not only is this an inexpensive gift, but the kids will have a blast doing it. You take a piece of construction paper, let the kids decorate; then buy a frame. This is a wonderful gift for grandparents that they will certainly love. Rocks - Take smooth rock gift from your yard or store bought. Wash the rock and pat try. Now take paints of your choice. I go to Michael's and buy the little tubes of colors of my choice. If you know what colors are in your family's houses, you can go with colors that will blend well. Next, I add a Scripture, but you could add a quote too. I use a felt black marker (you can use silver or gold also), and then add the child's initials on the bottom of the rock. Every time we have given a rock as a gift, years later when we go to their houses, that rock is still there.
