The Warehouse have 3 packs of pre-stretched/mounted canvas blocks, you could get let Caden loose on one of them with some paints, and maybe do a handprint of both kids at the bottom as the 'signature'... I was planning on doing that for MIL when Jae got a bit older, but might do it for her godmother instead now.]]> Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:38:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933958&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933958 <![CDATA[Need some gift idea’s : MamaS wrote: caitlynsmygirl...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933867&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933867 Author: caitlynsmygirl

What about if you use snapfish and do a recipe book with some "new" exciting recipes for her? Do a bit of work and find some really yummy modern recipes that she might not have tried, then decorate it with pics of kids and her and if you get them to do artwork, and then take photos of the artwork (hand/footprints etc) and use them as the background for each page!!

I saw this done and it looked really awesome. Really could see the work gone into it and it looked fabulous!!]]> Thu, 11 Feb 2010 13:57:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933780&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933780 <![CDATA[Need some gift idea’s : caitlynsmygirl wrote:did you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933764&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933764 Author: Shezamumof3

What about seeds for flowers that are for Caden & Isabella's birth months? I think a basket incorporating all the little ideas is great. You could top it off with a card (handmade or brought) with something written from you to her telling her how much she means to you. She is obviously a wonderful Nana!

Just thought of another possibility but I'm not sure of the cost. What about if you got Caden to do a paint your own plate (or platter) for her to put her baking on?

What about a photo book with photos of all of you?

I know that Snapfish do Collages too, you upload the photos and then they'll put the photos on for you. We've got one of the kids and I love it.

A Garden basket sounds like a good idea too, you could put in a gardening journal with seeds, handwash etc....

She sounds awesome too BTW ]]> Thu, 11 Feb 2010 09:16:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933434&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933434 <![CDATA[Need some gift idea’s : hey Sheena, my friend showed me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933319&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933319 Author: Lexidore

Actually the garden gift basket idea sounds really good!! Seeds aren't too expensive and compost is usually about $12 for 3 bags at the Warehouse isn't it? You could all pop round and help her with the gardening one day too! I know my grandma loves it when we do that!

Ooh! Or you could set up a little space in her garden where your kids have a space so she could do gardening with them like a vege or flower patch, obviously your little girl is a bit too young but Caden might be old enough ]]> Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:46:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933287&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933287 <![CDATA[Need some gift idea’s : wow kelly thats awesome!!

For my nana,

She is the most amazing lady! She has helped me out of so many messy patches over the past 7 years, and she still helps us with things for the kids and food for the cuboards etc
I know i could never pay her back all the money she has spent on me/us over the years, and she wouldnt take it anyways...
I love her so much and she is like a mum to me as well as my nana, she is so generous and thoughtful, like tonight I get a text from her saying she has put $200 in my account for my warrent a rego!!

I would like to do something for her, something really special, keeping in mind we dont have a lot of money. I am quite good at creating things though..
Ive been trying to think of something to do, and have come up with a few things, but thought Id rack your brains for some idea's too!

She likes her garden and baking, she plays bowls and has a GREAT sense of humor! I her so much! She also adores Isabella and Caden!

Any idea's would be very much appreciated

TIA!]]> Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:18:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31561&PID=933125&title=need-some-gift-ideas#933125
