My grandmother will be celebrating her 80th birthday next month. I need a good gift idea. We give framed pictures of our kids a lot, so that 's out. My grandmother (and grandfather) are still in good health and fairly active. They love music. They still go around and sing (my grandfather plays guitar) at various nursing homes for the "old people" as they call them. I'd like to give a sentimental gift, if possible, rather than something practical, as she really doesn't need anything.

For my grandfathers 90th birthday we made a scrapbook with some pictures but mostly of stories or memories that we shared with him. Things that reminded us of him, times we shared, things he shared with us. We have a fairly large family... My grandfather has 4 children, 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren so there were lots of stories and memories to put in. We live all over the country so the book was mailed all over and each person filled in the things they wanted to and then it ended up with me and I brought it with me to our family reunion. Even if you don't have a lot of people and just did this with your family it would still be cherished.
Another way you could do something similar is by creating a photo book at http://www.snapfish.com You can pick the size and cover and then you just upload your pictures and you can add captions. They turn out much like a coffee table book. I was extremely happy with the one I made.

My grandfather is turning 72 and he recently has been diagnosed with prostate and skin cancer, so he probably won't live much longer. im 19 and trying to think of a good gift that he would appreciate for his last few months of life. Anyone have some good ideas?
Answer
Do something sentimental. I would compile home movies, pictures and such on a video, showing his life, from infancy to young adult, to father then grandfather.
It will be something he can enjoy on his birthday and then many times after.
If you don't have the facility to edit video, maybe a scrapbook and some family and friends recollections about the pictures or items in the book.
