Grandparent Gifts

Grandparents tend to keep the gifts that carry the family’s names. This collection holds two kinds: crossword frames with every grandchild’s name, and wooden photo books the family fills with photos and notes. Both are personalized with the names you type and made to order in our family workshop.

Crossword frames with every grandchild’s name

Each name is laser-cut as letter tiles and placed by hand so the names interlock like a crossword, with a title of your choice above them. The frame is an 11" × 11" shadow box with a white mat and a clear acrylic front, in 3 frame colors (Black, Walnut, White) and 5 backgrounds. Choose the crossword frame for Grandma or the crossword frame for Mom, or see all family name crossword frames. Gift wrapping is free: every frame arrives wrapped and ready to give.

Want to see how the names might cross first? Our free family name crossword generator lays them out in your browser.

A photo book of Grandma’s favorite memories

The Grandma’s Favorite Memories photo book has engraved wooden covers with an oval floral wreath, “Grandma's Favorite Memories”, her name and the line “Love Grows Here”. The blank pages inside hold instant photos of the grandchildren and a note from each of them. It comes in two sizes, Small 8.65″ × 6″ and Large 12.15″ × 8.6″, and three wood colors (Jacobean, Hazelnut, Natural).

Personalized Christmas gifts for grandparents

For Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa’s, the Winter Cottage Christmas photo book has a snowy cottage and evergreens on the cover with your own heading, such as “Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa’s”, your family name and a year line; everyone adds a photo and a note at the table. For grandparents celebrating a first grandchild, the Baby’s First Christmas photo book carries the baby’s name and the year, with pages for everyone who held the baby that day. For the new grandparents themselves, the First Christmas as Grandparents album has two engraved knitted mittens and their names. Grandpa and Nana have Christmas albums of their own: the Grandpa photo album with an engraved reading chair and the Nana photo album with a ribboned wreath. The Christmas crossword frame puts the whole family’s names in one frame. For delivery before Christmas, order by December 10 in the US, or by December 7 for Canada, the UK and the EU. More ideas are in our Christmas gifts and in our guide to Christmas gifts for Grandma.

Every frame and book is made to order in 1–3 business days, ships with free express shipping and is delivered in about 3–4 business days.
