Finding that ever elusive gift for you grandparents can really be a chore, especially for gifts that are used to treasure memories. We now understand why our old folks cherish these memories so much. Kids grow up so fast and our grandparent's have a need to preserve all of their grand kid's growing up years from the time they stood up and walked to their first Yuletide celebration.
One of the best ideas for family Christmas gifts to give to your folks will be a lovely scrapbook chock full of cherished memories: birthdays, baby showers, weddings, outings and other unforgettable moments. The whole family can get involved in picking out the photos and in how the scrapbook looks. You can buy an affordable one or a nicely priced one, or even a scrapbook that has everything in it. Any grandpa or grandma will be very happy once they've seen this scrapbook with full of their cherished memories.
A different approach is to make a hard cased book full of photos of the whole family. You can get them at most online shops where all you have to do is to upload your photos and captions and then order. You are then given a book which is fully decorated. Order many copies of them and send them to your loved ones.
And for a really great gift for Christmas, consider stretching your pocket and buy them a digital camcorder, or a camera thus they'll have a chance to put in print or media the treasured instances of their lives. People above 60 usually depend on a fixed pension, therefore an expensive gift would be greatly acknowledged. After that, they will enjoy giving digital photos of their loved ones to friends and acquaintances. This is it. Give your Grandpa or Grandma a chance to brag to their friends!
One of the most imaginative of ideas for family Christmas gifts, are gifts made for your old folks by family and particularly the grandchildren. Get some craft sets, thus your kids can craft some hand made jewelry for Grandma or some hand painted carryall bags. The whole family can to this and have a wonderful time together. How about making Grandpa a wallet that is made by one of his grandchildren. You can just see the glee in his face as he shows it off to others.
If your folks live abroad, how about giving them plane tickets and have them visit during the holidays. They will be eternally grateful, and feel greatly loved by the family. There are promos and discounts that can be availed, or if you can afford it, give them first class.

Thanks for the ideas but I don't consider a "camcorder" or "plane tickets" to be inexpensive.
