Great idea!! I am going to throw out another idea for you to consider. I took some tattered and torn quilts that my grandmother made and had enough to make teddybears from them. I then gave one to my mom, and each of her 4 brothers. The little gift tag that is on each bear is the story and the history of the quilt. I expressed to my aunts and uncles that the teddy bears stay in the family and get passed down to the younger generations as the years go by.
They were so appreciative.
