I was wondering what some good gifts for my kid's god-parents would be. They already have this years updated pics but wanted something inexpensive yet meaningful for them. Any suggestions?
You could buy an inexpensive white sweatshirt for each of them (Wal-mart often has them for under $8). Then, use fabric paint to put their names on the front or trace their handprints all over it). I also like the idea that someone mentioned of handmade ornaments.
My Godson makes me ornaments each year!
Maybe make or buy a special one every year?
For my daughters godparents this year, I bought them personalized doormats from Walmart.com. They were $16 with .99 shipping!!! They are very well made and I got one for us as well. I saw them on amazon.com for $28 a piece. Go to walmart.com and look up doormats or personalization.
Honestly, families can become so overloaded with "kid's" gifts & photos....why not focus on the adult's preferences?
A small bouquet, a favorite chocolate, a fav wine (or other drink), body lotion.....all things the receiver can use!
My godson gave me a gift card to Cracker Barrel last year & I loved it! The year before he gave me 3 months free for Netflix...which I still use! But I will say that the year he decorated a set of wine glasses was a fav, too....I still have the set & still bring them out for our family celebration.
check out Walgreens. I got a great mug last year for an Uncle. You submit a picture they put it on the mug but you do not see it until you put something hot in it. He loves it. I may do another one this year. I always like a handmade calendar with different pictures each month. You can do one at Walgreens or by a blank calendar at Archivers and do it like a scrapbook page a month. Good luck and have fun
Look online at some childrens craft ideas, maybe something with their handprints and cute pictures of the family. You don't tell us how old your children are so I can't come up with something according to age but I can tell you that anything that my grandson makes is perfect as far as I am concerned!!!
You can have a coffee cup/mug made with a picture of the kids on it. You can do this at local stores, or online if you have a digital photo. There are lots of different options....we have given one to my Dad for years now, and he loves them!
Good Morning T., even though you said they have updated pictures. Why not get a collage frame and put other pictures they might not have in it. Of them playing outside, riding a trike or bike, dressing up for church or just candid shots you might of taken for Birthdays or such.
That's my idea and I am sticking to it :)
God Bless you and your 4 awesome kid-os

How about hand prints in a plaster kit. Put a saying with it that his hands will always be there to be held.
The other grandma to my grandchildren (3) made a christmas tree with their hand prints, she traced each child hand print on different colors of green constuction paper and cut them out. Starting with the oldest for the bottom of the tree to the smallest at the top. hands were fingers pointing down, palms in the center of the tree, next hands on top of the bottom ones etc. then names and ages on each hand. She made one for me also and I put it up every year, my oldest grandson, was 6 when they made this and now he is 18, so his hands are alot bigger now. I love my tree.
The snapshot of the kids in a collage frame is also a wonderful gift. Have a very merry CHRISTmas
