Picaboo Gift Idea Center

Your grandparents will love showing their friends what each of their grandchildren has accomplished this year using their special brag book.

Begin by collecting photos of each grandchild throughout the past year. You may want to also include special art projects and a letter that each child has written to their grandparents. To create a digital copy of any art projects simply copy the piece of art and save it as a high resolution (300 dpi) .jpg image. Or, take a picture of the artwork using your digital camera. If you don't have access to a scanner or a digital camera, take the artwork to your local photo center and they will likely be able to transform it into a digital image for you.

Dedicate a section of the book to each grandchild and discuss what that child has learned throughout the past year. Be sure to include pictures of any special events the child attended with their grandparents. Conclude each section with a special message from the grandchild.

When you are finished your grandparent will have a wonderful book filled with the people they love the most. They will also be able to use this gift throughout the year whenever they want to tell their friends about what their grandchildren are up to.

Heritage Book.

Take your grandparents back to their childhood with a heritage book.

Combine photos and scanned copies of newspaper clippings, announcements, and important documents from your grandparent's childhood and adolescent years to create a heritage album. Your grandparents will be touched not only by the gift itself but also by the time to spent to look into the history of their past and to learn about their special memories.

Restored Wedding Album.

Transform your grandparent's wedding photos into a sleek modern photo book they will be able to proudly display on their coffee table.

Collect photos from the original wedding book and have them scanned and touched up at your local photo center. Add these photos to a new book in Picaboo using the wedding theme. In no time, you will have created a special renovated version of your grandparent's original wedding album.

Honor Their Hobbies.

Dedicate some time to learning about and taking pictures of your grandparent's hobbies. For example, if your grandmother likes to knit, take pictures of the different sweaters she has knitted over the years.

Combine high resolution scanned images of these special documents with notes from their friends and family.

Artwork for Grandma.

Provide your grandparents with a touching book filled with artwork and special messages from each of their children and grandchildren.

Include a picture of each person who has contributed along with several pieces of artwork and a short message. Your grandparent will be sure to read this gift again and again.
