Although we haven’t done one in a couple years, one of the most popular gifts we’ve given our parents and grandparents were these handprint calendars. With 4 little ones and 8 sets of grandparents / great-grandparents, they became a little too time-consuming to keep up with every year, but I think we’ll probably do them again next year because I know they’re treasured!
If you’re still looking for a creative handmade gift, I’ve put together a 2011 calendar template that’s ready for your child’s handprints.
