| I'm not a grandparent, but here goes. Did you keep a special stuffed animal your DS loved as a child. If so, that makes a wonderful and thoughtful gift. My MIL gave me my DH's favorite teddy, old, bald as a cue ball. It was a lovely gift and a great contribution to the nursery. DD still has it (she is 16). If not something that was your son's, how about a piece of jewelry that your husband gave you when your son was born. I don't know if you do that sort of thing, but in our families, it is common for the new dad to give the new mom a piece of jewelry to commemorate a birth. From DH, I received a beautiful charm bracelet with a small baby shoe (maryjane-type shoe) which we later engraved with DD name and DOB. My MIL gave me a pearl and sapphire pin that was given to her when my DH was born. Just some thoughts. Whatever you give your DIL - your time and love are the best gifts. Best wishes. |
