Christmas gift for grandparents

A Christmas gift for grandparents, from all the grandchildren

They have the mugs, the calendars and the drawings on the fridge. Give them something that holds the whole family at once: every grandchild's name and a photo of all of you, on a brick on the Wall of Forever.

Write it for them

What grandparents actually want for Christmas

Ask any grandparent what they want for Christmas and the answer is the same: "Just the family." The best Christmas gifts for grandparents take that literally — a photo of everyone, the name of every grandchild, and a few words they will read again in March.

A brick on the Wall of Forever holds exactly that, on an endless wall they can open from one link on a phone or a tablet. There is nothing to dust or find room for, and it is still there when the grandchildren have grandchildren of their own.

Make it from everyone

  • One big brick. Set up to 16 bricks together and run one family photo across them.
  • Every name. Put every grandchild in the message, from the eldest to the newest.
  • Sent to them. They get an email a few minutes after you pay, with a private link and a certificate in their names — something to frame for the mantelpiece.

Not great with email? Write the brick yourselves and print its QR card. They scan it with a phone, or you open it for them on Christmas Day.

Ideas for the grandparents' brick

  • Every grandchild

    All the names, in order of arrival.

  • The family photo

    This year's, with everyone squeezed in.

  • Their kitchen table

    Where every Christmas happens.

  • Their sayings

    The phrase every grandchild can do an impression of.

  • The years

    Married since 1974, grandparents since 2001.

  • A drawing

    Photographed and put on the brick, so it never fades.

A brick with a bride holding two wedding rings: “Joan & Bill, married 1971. Then Sue, Mark and Claire, and nine of us.”

On the wall

Their wedding photo, and all of you

Every family started somewhere. Put their wedding photo on the brick, and the names of everyone who came after it underneath.

Anyone in the family can visit it from the link, react with a heart and leave a note — the cousins abroad included.

For their big days, too

Celebrating their golden wedding? See the 50th anniversary gift. If there is a new baby in the family this year, the new baby gift gives them a brick of their own; and for grandparents who have it all, there is the gift for someone who has everything.

Write it for them

Their names, every grandchild's and a few words. You add who it is for on the next step.

What is a good Christmas gift for grandparents?

Something about the family rather than another thing for the shelf: everyone's names, a family photo and a few words.

Can all the grandchildren give it together?

Yes. Put every name in the message, or set up to 16 bricks together for a larger photo.

They don't use email much. Can they still see it?

Yes. Write the brick yourselves and print its QR card; they scan it with a phone, or you open the link for them.

Is it a physical gift?

No, nothing is posted. It is a brick on the Wall of Forever, an online wall, with a certificate to print.

Can the rest of the family visit it?

Yes. Anyone with the link can visit, react with a heart and leave a note.

How much is it?

From €9 for a single brick, paid once; a larger brick costs more, and the price is shown before you pay.

The whole family, kept

Every name and a photo, on a wall that stays.
