Gift for grandma and grandpa: six ideas featuring the grandkids

Grandma and grandpa already have everything, except for this: their grandchildren's drawings or handwriting, embroidered on something they use every day.

"What do you want for Christmas?" "Oh, nothing. I have everything already." Recognizable? There is one thing grandparents can never get enough of: their grandchildren. These six ideas put exactly that into a gift.

Six gifts for grandma and grandpa featuring the grandchildren

1. A child's drawing on a sweater

For whom: grandparents with grandchildren who love to draw. A house, a sun, a little person with arms that are way too long: we embroider the drawing exactly as it was made, with all the wobbly lines included. The gift that most often moves grandparents to tears, in the best way possible.

Sweater from €54.95. View the sweater with child's drawing or the t-shirt with child's drawing.

Tip from our studio: Have your child draw with a black marker on white paper. Thick, clear lines work best. Send us a sharp photo or scan.

2. "I love you" in their own handwriting

For whom: grandchildren who have just started writing. A short message or just their name: those first shaky letters will be gone in a few years, but on a sweater, they stay. From €54.95, view the sweater with own handwriting.

3. A line drawing of the grandchildren together

For whom: grandparents who cherish a photo of the grandchildren together. Louise draws the outline of your photo, Julie embroiders it small on the chest in one thread color of your choice (approximately 10 × 10 cm). Ideal for 1 to 3 children; if there are more, feel free to ask us what is possible. More children means more drawing work, so expect a little more time.

From €54.95. Read first which photos work best and then choose the sweater with line drawing.

4. A fleece blanket with all the names

For whom: grandmas and grandpas who like to sit on the couch. For afternoon naps and cold winter evenings, we embroider the names of all the grandchildren on a fleece blanket with name. No size to worry about, and it's within reach every day.

5. An apron for baking days

For whom: the grandma who bakes pancakes every Sunday, the grandpa who is always at the barbecue. An apron with "Grandma's kitchen," their nickname, or a drawing by the grandchildren is a gift that brings a smile.

6. A cap for bike rides

For whom: sporty grandparents. A cap with "Grandpa" or "Gramps," or with the initials of all the grandchildren. The dad cap is a classic cap that goes with everything.

Tips for a gift for grandparents

  • Let the grandchildren help. If they draw or choose it themselves, they will be proud of it, and you'll see that when it's unwrapped.
  • Don't know the size? Choose something without a size: a blanket, apron, or cap. For a sweater, our size chart helps.
  • Giving together? Chip in with siblings for one larger gift, for example, a sweater with all the grandchildren on it.

This is how it always works: send a photo, a name, or a drawing. Louise turns it into a design, Julie embroiders it on whatever you choose. With a photo or drawing, you will first receive a preview by email, and we only embroider after your approval. We embroider a handwriting or name exactly as you upload it.

By when to order for Christmas?

Order by Thursday, December 10, 2026, at the latest, and we guarantee delivery before Christmas. For a drawing with many children, it is best to order a little earlier. All dates can be found in our order calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Does the child's drawing have to be perfect?

Not at all. The wobbly lines are precisely the charm. Send a sharp photo or scan of the drawing.

Can I have multiple drawings put on one sweater?

Feel free to ask us via WhatsApp or info@ticenits.be. Depending on the size, we can combine drawings, for example, on the front and back.

How do you wash embroidered clothing?

At 30 °C, inside out. Ironing is allowed, but not over the embroidery. You can read all the tips in How we finish your embroidery.
