[HPmum2B]

Both Grandads in particular are very difficult to buy for, really hoping for some ideas, otherwise its chocolate and socks again!!

For my grandparents, Lily and I have made bird seed feeders which I will wrap in celephane with ribbon and have made a tag saying 'made by Lily'.

For Lily's grandparents we have got one grandad a go ape voucher, the other a photo plaque by Laura Godbold. One Nan has got clothes and the other we're yet to buy for.

For my Parents (Colin's Grandparents) we have 3 sets:

My MIL/FIL:

A hamper with stuff to pamper themselves with like slippers, neck massager etc.

My Father/Step-mother:

A book for each of them and a dinner and a movie gift card.

My mother and Step father:

I have no idea!!

For my grandparents, a first edition of a book they had as children and some sweets.
For husband's grandma, a Tudor cross and some traditional English sweets (she's in America)
For the kid's grandparents:
My mum - a vintage necklace, onion goggles and a book (The Timewaster Letters), plus my daughter painted her a ceramic duck and a scarf from the baby.
My dad - went halfsies on an electric drum kit, some headphones. Plus a stone guitar pick and a t shirt from the children.
Husband's mum - a rice cooker, a purse that says 'from England with love' and a photo scrap book from the kids.
Husband's dad doesn't do Christmas. He's a miserable git! I imagine we'll just have a slightly awkward phonecall where everyone politely asks each other how things are going and then makes excuses why we really have to go.

Gets harder every year doesn't it? I feel like I've exhausted all my best ideas.

We're going heavy on the kids making presents this year so for my grandparents we'll be painting bird houses for the garden with handprints and making a canvas of mistle toes (pinterest) and salt doh plaques and maybe ornaments and big christmas cards. For my dad I'm a bit unsure but will get homemade truffles with the kids presents and a fossil watch I've got my eye on. Hubbys dad will be getting a sculpture made from an old record, its really cool and he's into strange convo starting pieces so should love it.

I'm using december to get all the kids craft stuff done which my lb will love and stay entertained so two birds and all
