OK- think of me as the sentimental person but I think the most meaningful gift would be something handmade. Anyone can buy a letter shirt but if you make something it'll show your sisterhood bonds evem more.
Being crafty is not as difficult as it might seem. There are tons of cute, creative things you could do:
*Scrapbook pages with pics of you and your little with appropriate angel/arrow decorations and then semi-blank pages so the new grand-little could add her pics or have a 'history page' with pics of your big/ grandbig so she could relate to some alums as well.
*Charm bracelet/necklace (easily made with beads obtained at Micheals/ Hobby Lobbey)
*Picture frames, esp if you've decorated them
*Pillow cases decorated... fabric paints are easy to use. You can also get computer paper that is an "iron on" that you could use pics of her family
*Denim shirt decorated with fabirc paints/ beads (Ok, I'm in Texas and that's what I wear all the time)
*Bulb ornament painted (they are clear plastic or glass, I bought a bunch at the Boxing Day sales and haven't painted them yet)
And then, there are the ceramic "paint your own" places where you could do a decorated ornament for each of them (an angel perhaps?) or better yet, TAKE THEM with you and paint each other something (the places I've been to have a variety of items such as mugs/ pin boxes/ ornaments/ picture frames).
Anyone else have fun ideas??
