Well i don't actually get my mum and mil a gift from my boys- but i'll always get them involved in the gift somehow- like help decorate to card, family portraits in frames, and eventually as they get older- possibly next year- i'll get them to help make something (eg picture, cake etc). I know my mum (and hopefully mil) loves presents that involve the boys somehow- because they adore my boys so much (they are my mum's only grand children and mil's only grandson's and local).
So i kinda agree- grandparents shouldn't really get specific presents from the grandchild for mothers/fathers day (unless in some circumstances when the grandparents play a major role in the up bringing of the child of course).
I do usually buy my mum something from my DD, but more to thank her for what she does for us. Every second Friday she looks after my DD whilst DH & I work and whilst she loves it my mum is 62 yo and not a 'young' 62 yo. This year my DD made her a card at playgroup & we gave her a joint present.
