Picture This

It’s a fact of life in most families: grandparents need more photos. From the digital-savvy grandma to the old-fashioned grandad, here are some easy ways to share your baby pictures with the people who appreciate them the most.

Digital Photo Frame

If your camera finger is a little trigger-happy, you may find yourself with way more pictures than could possibly fit on even the most doting grandparents’ wall. A digital photo frame is the perfect solution — it fits all the photos on your SD card into eight inches of wall space. This frame also includes a motion sensor, so it will turn on automatically when Grandma walks into the room.

Photo iPhone Case

Cute Keepsakes

Keepsakes make great gifts for sentimental grandparents who want a memento to treasure. You may even want to make a copy for yourself to help you remember the little things, like tiny fingers and the shape of your newborn’s nose.
