What is a good personalized Christmas gift for grandparents?

The Snapshot TeamMakers of custom trading cardsLast reviewed:

Quick answer

A set of trading cards of the grandkids. Each grandchild gets their own card, with a photo, their name and a line for grandma or grandpa on the back, and up to 18 different cards fit in one box. Five cards are $31.99 with free US standard shipping on orders of $30 or more.

Key takeaways

  1. Grandparents already have framed photos; a card set is something they can hold and pass around.
  2. One box holds up to 18 different cards, so every grandchild gets one.
  3. A MEGA print of a family card is $49.99 at 11 x 15.4 inches.
  4. It can ship straight to their door when you enter their address at checkout.

Why it works for grandparents

Grandparents have the school photos and the framed prints. A set of cards is different: something to hold, pass around at dinner and show friends, one grandchild at a time. Kids can design their own card in about a minute, so the gift is partly from them.

Ways to build the set

Mix and match; each card in the box is designed on its own.

  • One card per grandchild, with a line like "Favorite thing at Grandma's: pancakes"
  • A "family team" card with everyone in one photo
  • A rookie card for the newest grandchild
  • A card of the grandparents themselves, as Hall of Fame members

Sending it to them

Enter the grandparents' address as the shipping address and the box goes straight to them, in a branded card box with a magnetic display case for the featured card. Each order ships to one address, so two households means two orders.

Christmas timing

With standard shipping, the order-by date is Monday, December 14, and the set is expected at their door by Wednesday, December 23.

Questions

More questions

What is a good personalized Christmas gift for grandma?

A set of cards of her grandkids, one card each, with a line from each child on the back. A Rookie Box holds up to 18 cards, so the whole family fits in one gift, and two cards are $21.99.

What do you get grandparents who have everything?

Something only the family can make. A card set of the grandkids, with their own words on the back, is not sold in any store.

What can grandkids make for their grandparents?

Their own card. Kids pick a photo, a template and a few words in the card builder, which takes about a minute, and a parent places the order.

Is a MEGA print better than a set of cards?

They do different jobs: cards get handled and shared, while a MEGA print hangs on the wall. The same design prints either way, so you can give both.

Can I send cards to two sets of grandparents?

Yes, as two orders, one per address. US standard shipping is free on each order of $30 or more and $5 below that.
