Personalised gifts for grandparents: one present from all the grandchildren
Grandparents who have everything are still missing one thing: proof that the whole family is thinking of them. The gift that works is the one the grandchildren give together, and in which each of them appears. The Breton bowls poster gives everyone a bowl with their name painted on it, up to seven. The family tree puts each person on their branch, a first name and a line — what they left us — up to twenty-two people. The photo of the whole family, of the grandchildren or of the newest arrival comes back painted in watercolour, stencilled onto a wall, reduced to a single line or redrawn as a 3D animated movie. For a golden wedding, two posters tell the story of the marriage, one through the anniversaries already passed, the other in months, days and hours spent together. And the city map draws the street of the house where everyone gathers. A printed poster costs €19.90 to €69.90: split between five cousins, nobody pays much.

Personalised Grand carousel family photo poster — every face in its own gilded gondola
For grandparents who already have everything: a grand funfair carousel where each of their own — children, grandchildren, and the dog — has a gilded gondola and a first name. The gift the whole family shares, and the one they look at for a long time to find everyone.
From €8.90

Personalised 3D animated movie grandparents portrait poster — your photo as a 3D cartoon
Nana or Grandad with the grandchildren around them, redrawn as a 3D cartoon with a title like “Nana, with Love” across the top; you can write “Grandad, with Love” instead. The picture arrives in about thirty seconds, so whoever organises the gift can see it before anyone chips in.

-
Personalised 3D animated movie family portrait poster — your photo as a 3D cartoon
The whole family on one photo, grandparents included, redrawn as the cast of a 3D animated movie. On our tests up to five people are drawn in full, so it suits the picture from the last holiday rather than the wedding group of thirty.
From €8.90
-

The breakfast table at Grandma’s, with a two-handled bowl for each grandchild and their name painted on it, each in its own colour. Up to seven bowls, and a title of your own under the stack, such as “At Nana and Grandad’s”.

From €8.90
-
Personalised street art family poster — your family photo as stencils on a graffiti wall

Watercolour house portrait poster, personalised — your house, painted

Wedding anniversary print in numbers — months, days, hours and milestones

Frequently asked questions
What gift should you give your grandparents?
A gift in which they find their grandchildren: the family’s Breton bowls with a name on each bowl, the family tree where everyone has their card, the grandchildren’s portrait painted from a photo, or the map of the house where the whole family gathers. Grandparents no longer need things; what they keep are the ones that carry names.
What joint gift can all the grandchildren give?
A poster, because it has room for everyone: the Breton bowls fit seven names, the anniversary poster carries their two first names and the years. One person builds it on their phone and sends a screenshot to the others before ordering: the on-screen preview is exactly what gets printed. Among six cousins, a 50 × 70 at €49.90 comes to under nine euros each.
Is there a Grandparents’ Day?
It depends on the country, and the date is not the same everywhere. In France, grandmothers are celebrated on the first Sunday of March and grandfathers on the first Sunday of October. Whatever the occasion, order ten days ahead for Ireland or elsewhere in the EU, a week for France: 48 hours in the workshop, then the post.
What if a grandchild arrives after the gift?
A printed poster cannot be altered, but it can be made again: the Breton bowls take up to seven names and the family tree twenty-two people, and the same composition is simply reordered, one name longer, the day the family has grown. If a birth is on the way, wait for it before ordering the tree, or give the portrait of the grandchildren already here first.
Which poster for a grandfather who has never hung anything in his life?
The one that looks least like decoration: the Breton bowls, which are about the table he lays for visitors, or the family tree, which reads like a family document. Choose the framed 30 × 40, which can stand on a sideboard if he won’t drill a wall, and the wooden frame, which goes with everything.
