Last Minute Gift Idea for Grandparents and Inlaws!

This post is sponsored by CVS Photo. All opinions are 100% mine. 

One of the busiest weeks of the year for a Mom is the week leading up to Christmas. For example, these are a few things that were on my list this year:

Brooke from All Things Thrifty and her Family

Get Family Pictures Taken {X} I feel like I should write one million smaller lists associated with that task because that in itself is not easy. 

Kids Choir Concerts {XX} <—two x’s for two concerts

Now that the pictures are taken…Order Christmas Cards {X} <—once received, address the cards and mail. {You can order cards through CVS same day pickup too!}

Get kids’ Christmas lists {X} 

Convince kids they do not need everything on their list {X}

Get rid of old toys in the house {X}

Do service {X}

Deliver neighbor gifts {X}

Go to a live nativity {X}

Do the shopping {X}

Do the wrapping {X}…

etc etc etc. {X} {X} {X}

Can I get an Amen?!?

But, during the hustle and bustle of getting all of the other tasks done, I took a few minutes to upload our family pictures to CVS Photo to create some special gifts for the grandparents.

The great thing about CVS is that you can pick up a lot of gifts the SAME DAY that you order them. For a busy mom like myself, I appreciate that speediness.

So, we added the photos into the book, added a quick maroon border, and within 20 minutes, I had three books ordered.

I ordered three of the exact same book for each set of grandparents, but if you have a little more time you could personalize them too.

They loved the books! I am so glad that the same day CVS Photo service is quick and speedy so that we could give a gift that means more to us than just a regular gift.

Last year we made the ultimate MIL gift, and CVS photo same day photo books are the perfect gift for that idea too! My husband and his brothers reenacted their childhood photos. It was so much fun, and we died laughing. Just check these bad boys out:

The gift of something more sentimental like a photo book is such a great idea, and when you can get it the same day that you order it, it’s pretty darn awesome in my opinion!

Hope you had a great holiday!

Brooke
