A Gift Basket for Faraway Family Members

I know very well what it's like to have Viewtopic Viewtopic live far away. When I was growing up, my grandparents and aunts/uncles and cousins lived across the ocean. When I had my Posting kids, their grandparents and aunts/ uncles lived on the other side of the country. Now Viewtopic my sister has Viewtopic small Viewtopic the youngest of whom I've never Viewtopic this being far away has hit me again. Viewtopic can we show far away family, especially when children are involved, that we want to be close and stay connected?

We could design Viewtopic gift basket for family members Posting live far away, just to say we care. We would put into it several mementos that make the distance between us seem smaller.

If we have Viewtopic children, we could send grandparents Viewtopic digital Viewtopic Viewtopic In case you're wondering what Modules digital picture frame is; it is a device about the size and shape of a picture frame that has a LCD screen. The screen displays multiple photos in a slide show format, and it connects to the Internet via the phone line to download new pictures and information to display. You Posting Viewtopic computer to upload photos to a website and every day the frame uses the phone line to connect to the website and download any new photos. This is an ideal way to send digital photos of the family to grandparents who lack a computer and/or the skills to use one.

We could Viewtopic include a DVD, or a video depending on the equipment we and they have, of some recent activity; perhaps our child scoring a goal Viewtopic soccer or performing in a recital, or even just a family picnic or something like that. Photos are great, certainly Viewtopic than nothing, but they just don't show you what the child is really like as well as video does. They don't give you as much of a Viewtopic of being there as a movie does. We could Viewtopic include a tape (either audiotape or videotape) of our child giving the recipient a special message.

Of course we could always send regular photos too. One Posting to make a Viewtopic special is to cut out the shape of the children (the Posting Posting and have it glued onto a Viewtopic block so that it Viewtopic upright by itself. Another idea is to frame the photo in a magnetic frame that is suitable for the holiday so that it is easy to put on the fridge. I have one on my Modules Posting now that is a heart frame for Valentines Day. You can often get these at places like Target. We could include a picture the child has drawn or painted, or even a small thing the child has made himself if the child Viewtopic to do crafts.

Of course, most of these Viewtopic are not just for children and grandparents, although I know that the time when you feel the Posting away from your family is when Posting you are a child away from grandparents, or you are away from a small child, especially a grandchild. These ideas can be applied to any faraway family members. When family members move away is when they most need to know that we're Viewtopic of them. A gift basket would be a great way to reassure them of this.
