Personalised Gifts for Grandparents

Photo gifts they'll show to everyone

A set of four photo coasters is perfect for families with several grandchildren: upload a different photo for each coaster. The photo slate and crystal photo block stand on a shelf and suit a recent family photo from a get-together.

For Grandad

A photo mug with "Grandad's Brew" beneath a picture of the grandchildren gets used every morning. If he enjoys a pint, an engraved pint glass reading "Grandad's Pint" is a favourite, and engraved beer mats can name his shed or garden bar.

For Nan

A photo necklace lets her carry a favourite face with her. For the kitchen, a glass chopping board with "Nanna's Kitchen" or a full-length apron suits the family baker.

Gifts from the grandchildren

Children love being part of the gift. Photograph a drawing and print it on a mug or apron, or use the matching kids' apron so they can bake together. A child's own handwriting, photographed clearly, makes a message like "I love you Grandma" even more special.

Making photos work for older eyes

• Choose photos where faces are large and clear, rather than a small group in the distance.
• Keep wording short so the lettering prints bigger and is easier to read.
• Bright, well-lit photos print best on mugs, coasters and slates.

Wording ideas

• "Nan & Grandad's" with the grandchildren's names underneath
• "Grandad's Brew" or "Nanna's Cuppa" on a mug
• "Loved by Ruby, Jack & Oscar"
• Whatever they're actually called: Gran, Nana, Pops, Grandpa or a family nickname

Occasions

These gifts suit birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day and big anniversaries. At Christmas, a photo bauble with the year makes a lovely addition to the tree. Each item is made in 1–3 working days, and we can deliver straight to their door anywhere in the UK.
