Gifts For Grandparents - The Photo Pillow

By Troy Jones


Think for a moment of your family and consider how many generations are living. Three is a nice, round number that defines most generational levels in most families, but the wonders of medicine say three is too modest a number. This simply means that with more family generations, there would be more chances of seniors and juniors interacting, or even the most senior of the seniors and extremely young family members.

And while it is all well and good that the number of seniors in America has significantly increased, that does not mean that their health can be expected to be good forever. Incontinence, senility and difficulty in traveling are all common problems with seniors, and this has resulted in many of them getting confined to homes. This may make it difficult or virtually impossible for your grandparents to see and spend quality time with your children. But did you know that there is actually something that closely trails the importance of a grandparent or great-grandparent being in close contact with their grandchildren?

Behold, the photo pillow - this is the perfect way a grandparent or great-grandparent can make an instant connection with their grandkids or great-grandkids. When an old-fashioned black and white or color photograph is converted into a pillow, the end product would be called a photo pillow. Most seniors spend their time resting, reading their favorite books or watching television, so a photo pillow could make these activities more relaxing. What can be better than offering a family connection and comfort all at once?

The easiest way to purchase a customized photo pillow is by finding an online photo pillow designer. You will need to make use of your research skills as you go through the works of different designers and compare in order to find the best designer to go with. Many of the companies or individuals who make photo pillows have a selection of different pillow styles and designs. Take the example of sofa-sized pillows and their larger, bed-sized equivalents - they make great gifts for any occasion and are easy to create. Size of pillow is really not an issue with grandparents, as it's always the thought that counts, but for those who wonder, sofa-size seems to be the way to go.

Perhaps the best thing about photo pillows is that they can work in just about any room setting and they can be transported if need be. While grandparents will truly appreciate a photo pillow as a gift, but there are so many other photo gifts you can give. There are many children or grandchildren who have purchased photo blankets or even both for their grandparents. But regardless of your choice, you will be sure to please and amuse your grandparents with these photo gifts.
