Thanking step son

Whilst paying money into a Grandchilds saving account is a good idea, the banking rules have changed recently, and it's now only the Childs parents who can open the account on their behalf. This is apparently to stop Grandparents from investing large sums of money for themselves, and collecting the higher tax free interest rates, before withdrawing the funds and pocketing a fair amount back for themselves. As l understand it now, most Childrens savings accounts continue without any withdrawals of funds until the child reaches adulthood, then the funds will be paid to them directly, not via a third party.

When my son was born I bought my father a book from the Cancer Research Shop called The Grandparents Book. It had lots of questions that a child might ask and he wrote his replies. Things like ‘where did you first meet Grandma’ and ‘what was she wearing’ and ‘what did you think’
It’s a lovely book and he filled it in with his usual Yorkshire dry wit! We hear his voice in every page!

You May find something similar on the Internet?
You sound a lovely Grumps - Good Luck, these baby days go so fast!

JuliaM yes you're right, the account my daughter opened for my granddaughter is the one I contribute to ?

Grumps you sound a lovely person, the new baby is so lucky to have you in her life.Havent any ideas to give you unfortunately,hugs from me.

Have a look on Etsy they do loads of lovely personalised cards that are always very reasonably priced and just a little different. I’m sure you will find something that would be appropriate. Good luck

I'm not so sure a restaurant voucher is such a good idea to be honest. Most new mums are very reluctant to leave a baby under two with anyone. This goes doubly if she's breastfeeding.
I thought for mom maybe one of those necklaces with 3 interlocking circles that have their names on a circle each.
There's something similar but more manly for dad's.

prburgess - what a lovely change from other threads on here about family conflicts.
Certainly send a card, but also offer your practical help if necessary. Be careful about financial offers of help.
What does your wife say about it?
Having been a step grandma, and husband a step grandad for many years.

Hi i would suggest a family photo shoot with there new arrival so they can cherish the memories, as i did this for my daughter and son in law and one of the pictures is hanging over my fireplace to look at everyday.
