This Mother's Day, remember to celebrate the matriarch of the family: Grandma. From heirloom mementos to personalized accessories, these sentimental tokens will remind Grandma of the ones who have heart -- her children and grandchildren.
Antique teacups that have lost their saucers don't need to sit on the shelves unused, collecting dust. Give them a new glow by upcycling them into beautiful, sweet-smelling candles.
Her most cherished snapshots over the years -- of her children and grandchildren, or even her own childhood -– can be printed on paper-backed linen through a home printer. And this way, a hug with her grandchildren is never out of arm's reach.
If Grandma loves her afternoon tea, this gift will make her next cup extra special. First, fill a few satchets with a mix of custom blend loose tea. Then, thread the bags with punched tags. Another idea? Present her custom tea with a painted tea cup set.
What could be more perfect for Grandma than a warm, cozy shawl? This one is knit with a contrasting border (for a personal touch, pick her favorite color) and pattern is simple for beginners.
A flower pin -- inspired by the fashion of a past era -- makes a pretty gift. And these ladylike fabric flowers allow you to make one in her favorite garden variety.
She already idles her time by puttering around the house in her slippers. But these soft, snuggly ones -- monogrammed just for her -- put a spring in her step.
So many memories and so many tokens collected along the way -- they deserve to be put on display! This gift preserves those little mementos under glass, hanging from the boughs of a "family tree."
A ladylike neck scarf never goes out of style. This dainty accessory is spun with luxurious mohair yarn into loopy rosettes -- no knitting skills required!
These sleek, silky-smooth velvet pouches are perfect for everything she carries on the go. Easily sewn from ribbon and thread, they're made for glasses, knitting needles, or a camera.
You can enhance a household item, like this vintage vanity tray, with a vintage family photo. A glazier can cut a piece of glass to fit inside the tray to protect the image.
