      Grandparents do so much for their families, so at Christmas time, it's time to show them that they are truly appreciated. This year, forget about the usual boring old sweaters, and think creatively to come up with a Christmas gift that will surprise and delight your grandparents. Make your family's history or your grandparents' romance the focus of your gift.

    Christmas Photo Album

    • Choose a quality photo album.Photo Album image by rlat from Fotolia.com

      Create an album of photographs of Christmases past. Ask other family members to donate photographs, and try to go back in time as far as you can. Your grandparents will love reminiscing about years gone by, and long-forgotten memories will be triggered. Make sure you buy an album big enough for this project; leave a few blank pages toward the end for your grandparents to add their own photographs of Christmases still to come.

    Personalized Family Photo

      Nowadays almost anything can be personalized to make it a more meaningful gift. Grandparents love nothing more than reminders of their grandchildren. Gather all the grandchildren together for a group photograph, and then have it printed onto a jigsaw, mouse mat, mug, coasters, tote bag or apron. Most photo stores offer this service. Alternatively, you can email your digital photograph image file to one of the many online retailers who will print it on your order. Add text to your photo, wishing your grandparents a very happy Christmas.

    Perfect Date Night

    • Arrange a perfect date for your grandparents to enjoy together. Try to find out what they did on their first date, and re-create that special occasion. If they went to a movie, buy them a gift card for the local movie theater, and let them choose the movie they want to see. Arrange for transport to and from the theater, and have popcorn and candy waiting for them. If they went dancing on their first date, buy them tickets for a show. If your grandparents are adventurous types, go a step further, and arrange a really unique Christmas gift by booking them a private dance lesson.
