emptynest-2 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I'm looking for a Grandparents First baby Book. My bestfriend will be a first time grandparent in October and I would to find her this book. I've searched ebay and google nothing NEW. Does anyone know where to find one? It's supposed to be like a regular baby book only for grandparents. Thanks for your help.
Gloey Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 This may not be exactly what you want but they have some cute stuff there. http://www.baby-memory-books.com/New_Grandma_Gifts_s/194.htm
amyers12345 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Does it have to be new, or can it be handcrafted?
emptynest-2 Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 No it doesn't have to be new, it can be handcrafted.
amyers12345 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 You may check Ebay under the 'premade scrapbook'. I have sold several grandparents type books. Some sellers will do custom books for very little. Or, you could try to make her one- that would probably be very meaningful.

Hope this helps. There are some really cute grandma and grandpa books out there to read also. sara

sassercc Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I didn't see amazon on here...you probably have some amazon gc you can use too http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-7337176-1349644?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=grandparents+memory+book
JackJack Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I think you should try to make her one too! They are so much fun to craft...and how much more meaningful it would be! Maybe not your thing.....but if not, you could probably find someone to do one for you. A scrapbooker, would be able to have one done in no time, if it doesn't need to be too detailed. Then it could totally be tailored to grandparents/grandchildren too, which would be cute!

Even if you are not crafty there are so many sites out there that have awesome photobooks that make great scrapbooks. Some of my favorites are picaboo.com, photoworks.com, shutterfly.com. You can get some coupon codes too for discounts on these. On site I haven't tried but always has codes for b1g1 (1 for each set of grandparents): mypublisher is the name of that site I think??

Rag and Bone Bindery handcrafts mementos like albums, brag books and baby books in a variety arty styles and elegant colors, sure to stick with your family for the long haul. “Baby’s First Book,” a journal for tracking their first year of milestones, is bound with heavy cardstock pages, able to withstand all the inevitable show and tell sessions. Options for cover art span girly pastel pink to a hip chocolate-and-turquoise combo. The real fun for you will be preloading it with old photos of mom and dad and filling out the family tree page before you present it to the proud parents. Edited March 25, 2008 by samisma added stuff.
tokanm Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I am pretty sure that the hallmark stores sell them
emptynest-2 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Thank you all very much. I've thought of making one, I have some creativiblity, just no time. With my own business, fishing tounraments and youth group at church not to mention my 2 granddaughters not a lot of time left. I do appreciate all your help. I'll keep searching your suggestions.
bayhaysay Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 emptynest, Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you, lol. I just wanted to let you know that I'm about an hour south of you. :)
emptynest-2 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 bayhaysay, I've seen many of your posts and often wondered where you where exactly. And wondered if you've very crossed paths. Maybe someday.
