because I'll be home on maternity leave. Anyway, I am looking for ideas for photo gifts for grandparents, aunts and uncles.

I am doing the calendar, I have done the mugs, what else can I do?

I bought my FIL a fleece blanket because they are always cold while watching TV.

The blanket is from ArtsCow.com and has a picture of all the grandkids on it!!

I love Arts Cow!!Chat Icon They have some really nice ideas and great prices.

Tara, walmart has a ton of stuff--I've done travel mugs, aprons, photo tshirts, cutting boards, crystal paperweights, ornaments, pillowcases, tote bags...Can't beat the prices! Last year I also used seehere.com for some tshirts and silver travel mugs--great quality!

I gave the grandparents reusable water bottles with the kid's pix on them earlier this year and they all said they liked them.

I've done photo keychains from Shutterfly that are really nice and durable.

My dad travels a lot for work so I got him a photo luggage tag.

Mousepads

One year we gave MIL a throw pillow with the kids picture on it, she loves it and gets a lot of comments from her friends on it.

Thank you so much ladies.

For those of you who did throw pillows, I really like that idea, where did you order from and were you happy with them?

Snapfish Pillow Sham

I liked it, it's printed on a canvas type material with a black back. I've had them made 2 different times and they have held up well, although they are both in homes with no kids so they aren't getting a lot of abuse, you know?

It's just the sham and then I had to pick up the pillow form to stuff in it at Michael's (I used the 40% off coupons so it was only a couple of bucks)

yep i was just thinking that. one of those breakfast trays with a glass top. just get some scrapbooking paper and laminate the pics so they don't get ruined if it gets wet. that's a really nice gift. or even a scrapbook from the year in review? like one of those photo books?
