A gift for grandma and grandpa from the grandkids: ideas no store can sell
Grandparents usually have everything. Another sweater, duty-free perfume, a box of chocolates - received with a smile and forgotten by spring. What doesn't get forgotten: things with the grandkids living inside them.
Here are gift ideas made from kids' drawings. No one else will have them, because a drawing like this exists only in your family.
- 01
A mug with a grandkid's drawing
Morning coffee from a mug carrying the dragon your granddaughter drew at four. The drawing is fired into the glaze: it won't rub off or fade, and the dishwasher doesn't scare it. Ordered on the site in minutes: upload a photo of the drawing - we do the rest.

A plate that joins every family dinner
A plate with a grandkid's drawing quietly becomes "that plate": it's set out for guests, its story gets told, it's looked after. A good sign the gift landed.

Their own copy of the drawings book
If you've already made an art book from your kid's drawings - order grandma her own copy. It's our customers' favorite move: a twin book for grandma, so she doesn't "borrow" yours forever. Extra copies get 25% off with the code COPY.

“We made one for my mom. Her reaction was everything — she genuinely almost cried. She's a tough customer, so this meant something. Now other grandmas keep asking where we got it.”

A vase hand-painted from the grandkids' drawings
The most festive option: an artist paints the vase by hand, following the kids' drawings with a brush. An object that becomes a family piece over time - the kind that gets passed on.

A set for two: mug + plate
One piece for grandma and one for grandpa, carrying the same drawing. As a set it costs less than buying separately.

Free idea: a drawing in the mail
Have the grandkid sign the drawing - and send it by regular mail, in an envelope. A real letter from a grandkid in the mailbox is a small event, especially when grandma lives far away.
- 07
Free idea: a video-call tour
Set up a video call where the grandkid shows and tells their drawings - and a week later, let one of those drawings arrive at her door as a mug or a plate. First the story, then the thing: that way the gift works twice.
The secret of a grandparent gift is simple: you're not giving an object, you're giving the grandkid inside the object. A drawing where the cat has eight legs - that's the grandkid, exactly as they were this year. And we'll help keep it forever 🤍
