Gifts FROM baby?

[Deleted]

My BFF asked if we are doing this. In the past I've gotten things "from" babies in the family - think calendar with family pictures, cute homemade something (obviously made by mom), etc.

Are you doing this? Seems like it may be more effort than I'm willing to put in, lol. 

If you are doing it, what are you doing?

[ssmjlm]

Lol no.

I'm doing a calendar for my parents but it's not from E.

[fbf2006]

No!

No, I think this is really silly.

Ditto.

My kids make something for grandparents/ great grandparents and I've done that since they were born. It's usually something with their handprint. This year I'm doing the handprint Santa ornaments and I'll have each kid, including the baby make one

My dd and niece jointly gave my mom a pink rhinestone ball charm for her pandora bracelet. My niece is really a step and she was excited to give something to grandma w her cousin. I wouldn't have done it otherwise and it was a one time thing.

Ha! Nope. I barely have time to do the presents I need to do muchless think up stuff to give from "baby!"

I just sign all of our names on the tag.

Once in awhile if I run across a toy/book/activity H and kid are both into I'll give it to H from "kid" but it's not something I purposely seek out.

I got this idea from Teen Mom 3 (shoot me now) but I'm taking pictures of W holding a sign that says "I" then one that says "love" and another that says "my daddy" and framing it for H's new office we are currently renovating.

swizz there are a lot of really cute kits at Micheal's to make homemade gifts with hand prints. I had to rip myself out of there yesterday.

This is so cute! Forget the calendar. I may do this instead for the grandparents.

[redheadk]

Oh, I forgot about the handprint ornaments. Yes, I already made those, just need to paint them. Just a little token

[ssmjlm]

Hmm, my parents don't put up a tree since they're down with us.

But since MIL has 12 or 13 grandchildren, maybe the hand ornament is a good idea.

We did these two years ago- they came out so cute

And this is the other thing I'm considering this year

We are doing the salt dough handprint ornaments for each of the grandparents.

I tried one with DS yesterday and it actually wasn't a total failure - score! When I have time next weekend I will make more.

i totally plan to buy stuff for my parents from our kid (this year even without an outside baby), but it's more so because i'm an only child, this is their only grandkid, and i love buying stuff for my parents so it's a great excuse. and i have a few things for h from the baby, but it's really just stuff i want for the baby and i justify the excess by calling them christmas presents - a moose stuffed animal and tiny plaid flannel shirts, lol.

beyond that, no.
