 AllPopArt
$80.00 and up
Check out my niece Sydney! AllPopArt created this picture
for me. It's the most amazing piece of artwork that any grandparent (or
parent) would just love to receive. Starting at just $80.00 you can
have the most fabulous portrait done of your grandchild or
grandchildren. If you select a Warhol style like I have you can have up
to four images on the canvas.
AllPopArt takes a simple picture that you upload and converts it into
art. All you have to do is choose the layout, size of your portrait and the
materials either semi-glossy paper for a poster look or canvas for a slick, artsy look.
Options include a stretched or framed canvas. After they receive your photographs,
you get your portrait within 14 days. Don't wait until the
last minute during the holidays though as there's bound to be a rush.

 Everyday
Photo Album & Photo
Clutch (Photoworks)
$12.95 &
$40.00
After our recent family vacation I made my Mom a photo album of pictures of
them enjoying the beach with their grandchildren. My mom, who has never
carried a "brag book" now carries this book with her
everywhere! She absolutely loves it and of course has shown it to all
her friends. Now I'm in the process of making two Photo Clutches which
is a beautiful,
interchangeable Photo Book. It showcases 12 to 18 of you own favorite digital
pictures, is professionally printed with crisp resolution on French-folded paper,
hardback bound, and comes in an imported leather wallet with an invisible
magnetic closure. The great thing about this book is that you can
change out the books at any time. These are a great gift
for the new mom, new dad, grandparent -- just about anyone who loves
photos!
Priced at only $40 for the Clutch Book and leather wallet; refill books are
available individually for $16.95. The everyday books start at $12.95 and
include 20 pages.
  Chocolate
Dots Photo Album (Galison)
$10.00
What could be better then a stylish brag book to tote
around? Why get the grandparents something plain when you can get them
something as hip as this! The album has 18 plastic sleeves which will
hold up to 36 4 x 6" photos of their grandkids! Another great gift
idea from Galison is their I know my  grandmother
loves to write and Galison also offers stylish paper at affordable
prices. Their note cards which retail for just $8.00 are just
beautiful. In particular I like the Mozart
Opera's collection, but that's because I'm an opera fan. They have
many styles and they are all gorgeous. Grandpa won't be left out either
because they have an "Old-time
Automobiles" collection.
 Pedre
Rhinestone Watch (Pedre)
$82.50
We were sent the rhinestone watch with
the faux crocodile leather strap. It's such a great looking watch we
thought it would be a great gift for those stylish grandmothers out
there. Since many of our members are grandmothers in their 40's and
50's it makes sense. This watch has 2 year limited warranty, scratch resistant
crystal and genuine Austrian crystal accents. It's trendy, stylish and
makes a great gift! Pedre has some great watches
for grandpa too!
  Santa
Takes Five ($47) & Fancy
Footwork ($45) (Christoper
Radko)
These beautiful ornaments are not only wonderful keepsakes, but
have become collectors items for many fans. They are mouth blown and
hand painted by artists in Poland, Germany, Italy and the Czech
Republic. They are sure to be cherished gift that any grandparent would
be happy to receive to either display on the tree on on a decorative
stand. If you want to start a tradition in your family you can give one
to your grandchildren each year so that when they are old enough they can
decorate their own tree someday! Note: If you give them to your
grandchildren you'll have to remind them how delicate they are!
 Spice up the Home - Citrus Spice
(elizabeth W) $75.00
Bring along some Holiday Cheer to your grandparents and they'll be thanking you for a long time.
This great gift has a room spray, potpourri and candle that smells just divine.
It reminded our reviewer of fall evenings, thanksgiving and family. She
said, "it was a heavenly scent without been too overpowering. The
citrus added a nice fresh sent to the mix."
 Rose Pomegranate
Candle (Caldrea)
$25.00
Need to bring grandma a hostess gift for a holiday meal? Do you just
want her to feel pampered? This candle is delicious smelling as it
looks. It's a rich scented candle that comes in a gorgeous red glass 22
oz jar. It has the scent of pomegranate and rose with hints of cassis,
jasmine and apple.
  CoolDryComfort™
Pajamas (Karen
Neuburger) $72.00
Our grandmother tester has been suffering from hot flashes for about a year
now and has resorted to changing her pj's non-stop at night. We gave
her these pajama's to test and boy was she thrilled. "First of all
they are beautiful, they are soft, feminine and really comfortable, but the
best part is that the fabric doesn't cling or stick and when I have a hot
flash I don't seem to get as sweaty" she reported. She also loved
the Carpooler
Slippers that are so incredibly soft and comfortable. She can
wear the around the house without have her feet get cold on her tile floors.
  Rose
Sachet & Lavender
Drawer Liner (Elizabeth
W) These gifts aren't just for
Grandma - although Grandma will LOVE them! The rose sachet is too
pretty to stash in a drawer or in a closet - this silk organza rose bud
filled pouch looks great on a chair or on the bed. The fragrance is
"to die for," said our mom tester. The Lavender drawer liners
were given to a grandmother of two to review and although she said "they
felt almost too indulgent to put in a drawer she loved the way her clothes
smelled!" She moves it from place to place to "enjoy the
fragrance when the mood strikes!" The Rose Sachet retails for
$22.00 and the Drawer Liners is $28.00
 Great
World Atlas (DK
Publishing) $100.00
Don't let the price tag scare you off. This book is worth every
penny! If you want an amazing book that you can share with your
children or grandchild this Atlas is the book. The book has
amazing current satellite imagery with DK's unique mapping
technology. There's tons of information packed inside such as
natural resources and industry. There are 320 high-resolution satellite images, 96 large-scale regional maps, 200 terrain models, and 750 full-color photographs.
We have spent hours just looking up things in the book. It's fun
to open the book and read it to kids to give them a better appreciation
of the world we live in. Every family should have an atlas in
their home!
 Ceiva
3 Digital Photo Receiver (by Ceiva,
$129.99) Everyone who sees this frame just sits and stares. They
love looking at all the photos that rotate through on a fairly frequent
basis. This product is so great I keep having my friends over to check
it out. I've recommended that they each buy one for their house, their
parents and their in-laws. Talk about making a product that's easy to
use. I took a stash of digital images, uploaded them on the Ceiva site,
plugged in my receiver to the phone jack and outlet and pressed a button on
the back. In a few minutes all my pictures appeared. Everyone who has
visited has commented on both the look of the frame, and how pictures
magically appear every few minutes. I am able to upload new images
daily and my family can upload pictures to my friends as well. It's a
great gift for non-technical people. My in-laws have one and I send
pictures down their on a fairly regular basis. If your stumped every year at
what to by your parents - get them this - they will love it!.
