Holiday Grandparent Gift Ideas

Tracking Pixel

gradparent-holiday-gift-ideasThe holidays are here! It’s time to start thinking about special gifts for people in your life and today I’m talking about Holiday Grandparent Gifts thanks to Walmart Photo sponsoring this post. Seeing my parents and Kevin’s parents as grandparents is one of the best things. It is so awesome to watch them interact with Brooke and I can’t wait for them to meet their new little grandchild. I especially love seeing them with Brooke around the holidays. Last year was so incredibly fun to watch Brooke enjoy unwrapping gifts and spending time with family. We live about four hours away from our parents, so every time we get to see them is super special. I always try to think of unique gifts for others, as well as getting them something off of their list. Here are a few Holiday Grandparent Gift Ideas:

 

img_9819Photo Book

This is a great gift for grandparents that don’t live close to you. I created a book of Brooke from the past year for our parents. I made sure to include photos of them with her and some memories they weren’t able to be there for due to distance. I think the everyday little moments are so incredibly precious and I love how Walmart Photo Books allow you to capture all of these in one place. You can order one that is “8×10”, “5×7”, “8×8”, or “12×12” and depending on the type of cover you select, you can add up to 150 pages of pictures.  The book I created was a hardcover book with 25 pages. You grab a Same Day Single-Sided Photo Book on Rollback for $10 through 1/3!

 

Personalized Calendar

A personalized calendar is also a great gift option. It is perfect for grandparents’ office space at work or at home. I love how you can craft each month with special memories from that time the previous year. This can hold so much meaning to be able to see one year back and the difference a year can make. An 8x5x11 Photo Calendar is also on Rollback for $10 through 1/3.

 

img_9821Canvas

Both sets of Brooke’s grandparents have canvases in their house so this is always a great option. This can get a little trickier, but you can take note of the size and space of other ones in their house and go from there. For example, if they have an old canvas in a hallway, just note the size and order them a fresh updated one! The 11×14 Canvas is on Rollback for $24.96 and  the 16×20 is on Rollback for $34.96.

 

Photo Blanket

We made one of these for Kevin’s parents a few years ago and they loved it. It is such a great way to display fun family memories. This blanket got so many compliments and always sparks a fun memory for the whole family to talk about. It is a great gift that promotes conversation as well!

 

Mug

A mug is such a traditional grandparent gift, but you can never really have too many, especially if they have adorable faces on them. This is a classic that is a great little gift, and even better, most mugs are just $10!

 

img_9822You can grab the majority of these items at any of the 3,500 Walmart Photo locations nationwide or order online. Many of the gifts are available for free same-day pick-up or free shipping to store. This is perfect for last minute shopping!

    This is our daughter’s firs Christmas, so a book filled with photos from the past 9 months is a great gift idea for all of your grandparents 🙂 #sweepstakes

    I LOVE personalized gifts. They are so much more special than just going to the store and picking something out. That and DIY gifts (but these are kinda the same thing). Great suggestions that I will probably be using this holiday season!

    I would love to make calendars for my boys’ grandparents. They’re fun to put together, but it’s sooo hard to limit the photos. So many great ones that I hate to leave out. I usually end up printing out the ones that aren’t in the calendar and give them along with the calendar.

  • I went into Aerie to “just look”… and somehow ended up trying on all of THIS. 😂

Comment “SHOP” for the links.

These were the first 5 looks that caught my eye, and honestly… Aerie understood the assignment (part 2 coming soon!). 

From everyday basics to pieces that instantly make you feel a little more put together, there were way too many good finds.

Which look would you actually wear? 👀

I’m wearing XS.

  • Grimaldi’s has been a part of our family memories for years, so getting to experience their Kids Pizza Academy together made this visit extra special. 🍕 

From stretching the dough to choosing our toppings 🧀 and making our own pizzas, it was such a fun way to add another memory to the list.

There’s just something special about the places that become part of your family’s story and @grimaldispizzeria is definitely one of those for us. ❤️

Baseball season (and everyday style) just got a major upgrade. Kev is loving his new fit from Baseball 101. It’s the perfect mix of sporty, comfortable, and seriously cool.

If your kid is into baseball, they’ll love these pieces! Use code MCLARKE for 10% off on your own gear. 🙌

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?

  • #HelperPartner School nights can get really busy, and I need a dinner on the table fast that everyone will love! Helper helps with that! 🍔

I turned @helper Cheeseburger Macaroni, a pound of ground beef and simple toppings into a Loaded Cheeseburger Bar with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.

Helper helps you feed your family for less while making it easy to create a delicious, comforting dinner in under 20 minutes. I love that everyone can make it their way and build their own bowl!

  • No gatekeeping here… this is my #1 planner tip for middle school. ✏️📓

I’m teaching my daughter how to actually use a planner this year, and @pilotpenusa FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens are the MUST HAVE. Because assignments, tests, activities and plans are going to change and I don’t want her planner covered in confusing, crossed-out dates. 😂

I also love that she can choose her colors based on her vibe. We’re using ZenFocus for schoolwork and assignments and DreamGlow for goals, creative ideas and the things she’s excited about this year. 💚💙💗💜

Middle school is a big enough adjustment. If I can help her feel a little more organized and prepared going into it, I’m calling that a win.

If you’re looking for a relaxing Galveston, Texas resort with a little luxury, put The San Luis Resort on your list. 

From the gorgeous Texas coast views and poolside cabana (the fruit + champagne were such a nice touch 🥂) to an amazing poolside lunch, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy some time together.

We spent the evening at Grotto + grabbed gelato, started the next morning with an incredible breakfast buffet at Blake’s Bistro, and finished our getaway with a couples massage at the spa. 🧖‍♀️✨

A beautiful resort, good food, time to unwind, and quality time together… honestly, what more could you ask for? ❤️
