Unique gift ideas

We have our first child and I'm looking for gift ideas for Father's Day and Mother's Day for:
DH
Grandma
Great grandma
Great great grandma
Grandpa

I already did photo mugs and calendars. Doesn't need to be a photo gift just a gift from dd - maybe something engraved? All ideas welcome

For DH's first father's day, I got a leatherman engraved from DS.

Re: Unique gift ideas

I've been trying to think up some new ideas myself, so I'm excited to see what others post.

One thing we did when my DS was 8 months old was a hand print turkey. I got some heavier stock and ran it through the printer to get the poem on first, then it was trial and error getting some good prints. I found temper paint was too wishy washy so I used acrylic. I found it was MUCH easier to do this while he was asleep. When awake he was fighting me, paint went everywhere, not fun. After they dried I put on googly eyes. I hand delivered most to family on Thanksgiving, but some made it through the mail fine.

I think anything with the hand prints is adorable. I found a few other ideas on Pinterest I'll post here. I think the flowers are really cute and I may so them with DS this year.

Re: Unique gift ideas

I found a few poems online and kind of altered it to be mine.

I made you a flower
With my fingers and thumb
So you’ll see how I grow
In all the years to come!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Love,
Jack
