Children’s book
Buy your favorite children’s book and write in a note saying “Dear Grandma and Grandpa, will you read this to me in [due date month]? I can’t wait to meet you!” This is how we announced to my parents. I love this idea because you can give them a sentimental gift that they’ll read to their grandbaby over and over again. We decided to use Guess How Much I Love You because it’s such a sweet story.
If you don’t have a favorite children’s book, there are some books made specifically for grandparents that would be cute ideas too.
Mugs
If your parents are coffee or tea drinkers these mugs are a perfect option. I bet these mugs will become their new favorites for enjoying their morning coffee.
Shirts for them
Another fun idea is to get your parents shirts that I’m sure they’ll proudly wear next time they go out to a store.
