3 Christmas gifts a new grandmother will cherish

A grandmother's first Christmas with her grandchild will be cherished for years to come. Here are a few ideas to get you ready for the holidays this year.

A new grandmother can't wait to show off that beautiful baby to all her friends. Framing a photograph of the baby is a classic Christmas gift, and one that will be treasured.

• Try classic frames or digital ones where she can update the photo over time.
• Another idea is to make a calendar with different pictures of the baby and family, so Grandma can celebrate all year round.
• Pictures of the new baby can be used in simple ways to decorate many things for a grandmother, including coasters, purses and key fobs.

A new baby is a great inspiration for a very special gift. Getting a footprint moulded in silver is very easy, and this can make a charming ornament or piece of jewellery.

• Another idea is a silver locket that has a photo of the baby inside or a snippet of hair.
• Engraved mementos with a birth date or name also make a superb gift for a new grandmother.

Becoming a grandmother for the first time is another reason to celebrate and a Christmas gift can feature a personalized mug or wall plaque decorated to mark the occasion.

• A room can be decorated with personalized cushions, as well as many other decorative items to choose for the home.
• Even Christmas tree decorations can be sourced with a "new grandmother" theme.

Spending Christmas with a new baby is something very special to a grandmother, and having a themed gift is a great talking point. Make Christmas special for new grandmothers and new babies by marking the occasion with a memento of the day.
