I have to say I slacked off when my 2 were born and didn't give my Mum a bobbin for either of her grandbabies (guess I had other things on my mind :-)), however, I do have a bone Springett bobbin for each of my children with their names and birthdates on them.
Of Course, I also have wedding ones, and I treasure the ones that Janet Soo made for me and spangled with little teal bells - my wedding dress had teal on it and my last name is Bell. - as well as the ones that my Lace group gave me at a Guild wedding shower they had for myself and the other Guild Bride. I also had another of my favourite bobbin makers, Leon Young, send me a gift of 16 pairs of snakewood bobbins for a wedding gift, and they are treasured too. One thing that my SIL did to announce her pregnancy one Christmas was to give our Grandmother in law a lovely great grandmother throw and for our MIL she gave a cute sign that was something along the lines of Grandma's babysitting service or B&B or something. It's hanging in her office at home. She was tickled pink with the way it was announced.
