Default Christmas presents for Grandparents

I've decided to make things for the kids grandparents this year "from" them. I want to do a photo collage of some sort, but I want to make them each different. I plan on taking on the photos myself ((or maybe with a little help from Rhi, hint hint lol)), and that's where my creative ideas seem to stop. What kind of photos should I do? Should I get a big frame and stick them all in there, should I get 3 smaller frames and do one for each kid? What kind of pictures could I take? I have paintshop on my computer, so I can do some nifty things on there as well. I guess what I'm asking for is any creative ideas you can think of that I can borrow.... What would make a good gift??? Thanks in advance for all your help!!

Photos make wonderful Christmas gifts for family members.

Either way you decide, they will come out adorable. Your babies are cuties.

I don't have any ideas myself, but I think that's a wonderful idea. I was looking at doing some photobooks. Some of the online photo developers offer free books for first time members.

xmas hats...stick scarlette into a big stocking...i would just make the pics creative, then it wont matter what they r in

get a big box (doesnt matter what is on the outside) wrap it but make sure the lid can be removed (or not closed at all)

stick the kids IN the box like THEY are the present...makes an adorable picture
