80th birthday present for Grandma?

Well, my Grannie is turning 80 soon and i want to give her something different, and special, not just flowers/chocolates/jewellery etc, but something that is really meaningful to the 80 years of her life. I really love her so much, and i want to get her something so so special. Maybe including a photo or something, something that she can treasure and remind her of her beautiful self and all her life.


Do you guys have any ideas?


BTW, im only 14, and so i dont have much money. But i want it to be more from the heart rather than purse...=]

80th birthday present for Grandma?
I think if your grandmother is sentimental and you don%26#039;t have much money, you could always create a scrap book/photo album with photos of all her children and grandchildren. That%26#039;s something that she will treasure. Otherwise, if you have enough material, you could collect photos of her when she was young and create an album of her life. Or you could get a photo blown up (you could even do this at home) of her children/grandchildren or of herself when she was younger and frame it. Hope that helps!
Reply:Well sally a few years ago we wanted to make something really special for my gran 4 her b day so we got a 3 foot cheap frame and cut up loads of old and new photos of her, our family and her friends and made a collage with them. My gran cried when we handed to her and she still talks about it to this day (5years). it was was very cheap to make but it was the thougt of it tat made it soooo special to her.


Good luck with your present hunting xx
Reply:If you have access to a computer and a program called windows movie maker, scan old photos of her as a child, teen, young woman, wedding, with children and then her grandchildren. You can add music and words. I did one for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and it went for about 10 minutes. It was a story of their life, how they met and then us cildren and family and friends, it was fantastic. i downloaded some songs, really meaningful, slow songs and special ones that they liked and would remind them of their past. There wasnt a dry eye in the place all 50 guests were really touched, my mum and dad loved it. If you have got time its a great gift.
Reply:try making a home made picture frame with your whole family%26#039;s picture in it.

Reply:Your grandmother doesn%26#039;t need more stuff and what she would really appreciate is something from your heart. Find a picture of you and her, maybe when you were a baby and write a poem or letter to her telling her what she means to you and how much you love her. That is something that will touch her heart every day.
Reply:A personalised mug, teapot or plate is very inexpensive yet very personal. I get mine from tilestodifor. Each piece is an individual piece of art, and the artist can paint from emailed photographs. I got my mother a teapot with her cat painted on it. Very realistic.
Reply:How about sending a sheet of writing paper to everyone in the family, asking them to write down memories of Granny. When they send it back to you, put them all in an album. Include pictures if you can, of Granny and everyone else. Try to include a pic of Granny%26#039;s house too :) Hope this helps!!
