How long has it been since you got any gifts for grandparents ?
Grandparents are god’s gifts to a grandchild, a home away from home and a safe space to talk about anything from a bad day to the best ones.
However, Sometimes grandparents can be overlooked for the things they do when instead they should have been appreciated, These golden people however are really good at forgiving mistakes so a simple apology might suffice. But, Sometimes you just want to appreciate someone and the best way you can think of is by getting them a gift. An Oxford University study even confirmed that grandparents being involved in their grandchildren’s lives improves wellbeing of the child.So, here are
5 Gifts for Grandparents
Something to Make their Life Easier
As a Grandparent, you might think of spending the money you have on your kids and their kids sometimes instead of yourself sometimes so as a grandchild it becomes important to tip the scales on the other side and get them a gift that makes their life easier. Maybe they like juice but have to go out to get juice or order it home. It might be a good idea to get a juice maker so that the only thing they need to worry about is the ingredients for their favourite milkshake, or if they like to stay in shape, getting them something like a yoga mat for them to practice yoga is a good idea.
Something that they won’t Buy
A Gift is a difficult item to choose for anyone but it becomes even more difficult for someone who’s as experienced in life as a grandparent because whatever you get the is either
- Going to be not as useful to them because they don’t know how to use it
- Or is already with them because they can and do indeed use it
But, there is a little workaround to this, you get them something they won’t buy but is going to be indeed useful to them. There might be a couple of valid reasons for them not to buy it but if it is going to be useful in the end, It’s a good choice.
For Example, If your grandparents like massages but won’t get a massage machine in the fear of losing out on time with you. If you genuinely would love to spend time with them and just want to part ways with your part time massage job, a Handheld Massage machine might be a good choice.
Something they would appreciate
Sometimes it’s not the gift that counts, It’s who gave the gift and why they decided that actually counts. So maybe a piece of decoration for their room or something that would remind them of you everytime they looked at it. Make sure it’s something that would last for a long time because if a rose that dried out after a week is thrown out, they can’t see and remember it, it only becomes a memory.
Something Personal
Get them something personal that resembles the beautiful relationship that you have and they will cherish that gift for the rest of their lives. An Example would be a painting of the both of you, doing something you often enjoy or a good photo of the 2 of you framed, that could be hung on the wall and would be a great reminder of a good day.
Your Time
Time is the greatest asset of all, you work all your life to get time to do the things you love. Time is very valuable and we all know it, so why not use that time to spend a good quality evening/day/weekend with the grandparents that would uplift not only your mood but the grandparents would also appreciate the kind gesture every once in a while.
