Hello ladies, I'm super broke right now trying to prepare for this baby and bills and everything else. Needless to say Christmas is going to be really tight and I was looking for some ideas about something I could get for my parents (first-time grandparents) and my bf's parents (also first-time grandparents)......any ideas?????

When is your baby due??/ I think pictures and picture frames may be a nice gift,especially to first time grand parents.

They have really cute first year calenders at Walmart. they don't start with a month but come with month stickers so that you can start the calender w/ the first month of the baby. Then there is a ton of other stickers to record all the firsts. The top of the calender has a blank spot for a picture and hieght/weight measurements. Good Luck

Don't spend what you can't afford. I'm sure they will understand with you having a baby anyways. But if you must got them something then why not a bottle of wine or something? Thats all anyone is getting off me

I also think a bottle of wine is a great gift-If they like wine. Also maybe try thrift store shopping. I always find great gifts there!

Do they like coffee? I was thinking to give mine each a mug with a picture of them with the baby on it.

What about baking something for them? You can make cookies or fudge and put it in a pretty tin for a gift.

Money is really tight for us also. We've made some really bad decisions in the past and now are making up for them. For gifts this year, I am going to take some picture of us as a family and some single shots of my son in a cute little christmas outfit with my digital camera. I'm then going to order prints from walgreens and put them in frames. I think pictures are priceless and they will be loved.

Have you got a sonogram picture of the baby's head? If so, you could make them a Baby's 'First' Christmas ornament...here is directions: http://www.creativekidsathome.com/activities/activity_47.shtml There are no(-) in the link, and there is an underscore between activity and 47.
