My husband and I just had our first baby making our parents first time grandparents. We're not looking to spend a bunch of money just looking for some good priced gift ideas for them. Any ideas are appreciated.

Answer
Why not give them a digital picture frame (available from approx. 30 $) and 'feed' them with baby pics as baby grows?
Or make them a home made calendar with baby pics (that's a great gift to give every Christmas!). You can buy these calendars ready-made and just have to add your pics. For one calendar months you can also make a hand or footprint of baby with watercolors. Do it yourself calendars are available at amazon.
Or make a hand- or footprint (footprint normally is easier) of baby in clay and your parents can use it as a Christmas tree decoration. See here: http://www.best-baby-gifts.com/christmas-gifts-for-baby.html - section baby hanging keepsake, holiday.
Another cute Christmas gift is a snowglobe where you can insert baby's picture. That's not just the
'boring' baby picture frame ;-). Check out amazon for photo snow globe.

Hope my tips are useful! And congrats on your new baby!

I'm trying to think of gift ideas for my 2 year old to make or help make for her grandparents and aunts and uncles. I don't want anything like coloring a picture or anything like that (we've done that so many times already!) I'm looking for unique and creative ideas, preferably ones that are fairly inexpensive. Thanks in advance! :)

Answer
I'm planning on making snow globes with my kids and they are 2 and 3 1/2 years old.
Materials
Glass Baby Food Jar & Lid
Glitter
Baby Oil
Small Figurines (about 1-1.5 inches tall)
Glue
The instructions are on this website (along with other craft ideas)

Another idea I found and want to try are fruit loop sand decoration vase:
-You take a box of fruit loops and separate the colors and then put each colors in a bag and crush them into sand
-then get a nice looking vase or glass container with a lid, and pour the different color of fruit loop sand in.

Pine cone decoration (also on the website I listed above)
-put glue all over pine cone then sparkles!
-tie ribbon or string to top

hot chocolate ice cream cones (I saw this on Oprah a few years ago)
-take one of those triangle shaped cake decorating bags and put hot chocolate powder in to look like the cone part, then mini marshmallows for the ice cream part and chocolate chips for sprinkles, tie the top up with ribbon

hope that helps!! Good luck!!!
