Experience Gift

Rather than buy something physical, an experience gift such as organizing a family gathering, or throwing a special birthday party, or take them to their favorite restaurant or meaningful place.

Photo collages

Consider creating a collage with a selection of their old photographs and family pictures, then framing it. The one shown here is a digital creation; simply upload the images, and you have the option to apply your design to other products like pillows and mugs.
