Christmas gift ideas for Birthparents!

Christmas is the perfect time of year to reflect on all of our blessings and to remember our children's birth parents.

Even if you are a procrastinator like me (I just mailed our birthmom's packages this morning!) there is still time to send a little something to remind those birth parents in our lives that we love them! I always come up with great ideas and then forget to take pictures of what I send so this time I made sure to snap a few photos before I boxed everything up!

This year I was on a very tight budget so I started by taking the kids to the dollar store and letting my oldest help pick out some gift baskets and treats for our birthmoms. We have a tradition where we like to send our kids current favorite treats with our packages so I made sure to fill their baskets full of stuff the kids really like right now.





I found this great gift set at Walmart that had 4 different customizable photo displays: A photo ornament, a photo magnet, a photo keychain and a photo snow globle.

I had already put Coopers picture in the snowglobe when I realized I
didn't take a photo of the box so here it is :)

Here are the ornament and snow globe with the pictures in them:





The key chain


And the magnet

And here is the complete package for each birthmom. Not pictured are Christmas cards for each of them and pictures that the kids drew for them which I included in their packages.



In years past we've done similiar packages but one year the main gift was a pretty little necklace with my sons picture on it.


Last year I made each of our boys birthmoms a super cute 8 x 8 Christmas scrapbook. Why didn't I take a picture?!?! They only took me like 10 hours to make and not one photo to show for it!! lol.

I also wanted to share last years FSA post full of Christmas gift ideas!
