Passing on a family treasure can create a special bond between giver and recipient. A personal note describing the history of the heirloom would help the recipient understand its particular significance. If such a treasure is passed on to you by a dear relative, find out all you can about the object's history so you can record the relevant information for the future when you pass it on to your own son, daughter, niece, or another relative. For gifts that will nourish the roots of the family tree, consider these. |

gift ideas (excerpted from Present Perfect) Give a hand-sewn christening dress or another baby outfit previously worn by a family member. Pass on Grandma and Grandpa's love letters or other special letters from family members. Hand down a family history, photo album, or journal. Make copies of family photographs and give them with as much detail as possible about the people in the photos and the circumstances under which the photos were taken. Pass on a treasured locket, brooch, ring, pocket watch, or another piece of jewelry. Share a wedding dress and veil that have been in the family for generations. Pass on sports medals, armed service awards, diplomas, certificates, or a family Bible. Hand down treasured dishes, serving pieces, centerpieces, and silverware.
