What to give them?

I have 4 young G.Grandchildren and one expected in January and these are the only ones I am buying for this year. I haven’t decided what I’m getting yet apart from pregnant g.daughter who is thinking (so far I’ve made a pram blanket in blue with bunnies on).
I might just send some money in a card, I did this for their birthdays and I’m still waiting for a reply, oh well what’s it matter I know I’ve done it.
I dont expect expensive presents from my children, an orchid in a pot, a nice plant, and a cheese and biscuit selection would be greatly appreciated.
Forget the nighties and slippers and Ive got a cupboard full of Dove products which I really must sort out and send to the homeless shelter, as soon as I feel a bit better I will.

I'm selling my pottery at a fair this evening so I hope someone is still looking for small gifts!
I have the same dilemma 😕.
I'll tell the family not to give me anything but I daresay the DGC will expect something.
I have always given each family - there are 4- a gift of a board game or a jigsaw. It probably ends up in a charity shop but that's OK isn't it?
Buy from the charity shop?

I've bought my grandsons a cow, a cockeral, and my best one was a toilet.
All donated so that families can set themselves up with farming basics, and begin to earn their way out of poverty.
I used the send-a-cow foundation, but there are lots similar.

This is what my mother, sister and I do for my brother, who is wealthy andspecifically said he doesn't want physical presents. This year, I have bought the opportunity for a child to have an operation to heal a cleft lip.

What a fantastic gift Musicgirl you can transform someone's life

My dd lends small amounts sometimes only £15 or £20, to people often women, who live in poverty enabling them to set up small businesses.
So far everyone who has had a loan, from many different countries, have repaid the loans, very slowly, but none have defaulted.

One of the links posted here is to a lending site.
I might have a look at that, thanks.

It needn't be a present, either.

I think the one I mentioned is called Lend with care.

Thank you.
I'll have a look.
It sounds ideal, just as a good deed (and I like the idea of getting my money back!)

Will check the name with dd.

Yes please. 👍

It is Lend with Care, ot another is called Kiva.

Thanks very much.
