This is a fun idea for faraway grandparents… send a personalized thank you card with baby wearing or using the actual gift.
My mom gave Holden a fantastic jogging stroller sent directly to his house in Berkeley so she never got to see him locked, loaded, and loving it. We took lots of pictures and, to further show our gratitude, Holden wrote her a personal note.
CardStore.com allows you to create custom postcards or folding cards and even mails them for you so it won’t just sit around your house waiting to get mailed until it’s embarrassingly too late to send!
This technique has the added bonus that if you write the note from baby’s perspective…
Dear Gramma,
This stroller rocks. My daddy loves it. And mommy loves for us to leave for a while.
Love, Baby
So, it doesn’t have to be quite as eloquent. Please don’t tell on me.
