Here's some stuff I've done over the years with my two kids:

* Painted some wooden photo frames and put hand/foot prints of DS on there, and put in a photo of him at that age.

* Got the kids to paint on mugs - you can get glass paint at Spotlight and then just bake them in the oven. This is cute even if they can only finger paint scribbles. (I guess you could also do the hand print idea)

* Some printing shops offer to make up calendars or mouse mats, mugs etc if you take in a photo, they will scan it and put in on them. I think the calendars are about $10 - $15 though.

* Got the kids to paint on a canvas - just one from the cheap shop, and gave it to the uncles and auntys that dont see them very often. If you use really bright coloured paints, it can look quite effective. I just used normal kids paints, then sprayed the canvas with clear laquer to protect it.

Hope these ideas help. None of them cost a lot to do, and they are definitely great memories for rellys to have!! :thumbsup:

Good Luck.
