Grandparents often represent important people in one's life. Grandparents Day, celebrated September 14th, marks an appropriate time to honor our beloved relatives for all their love and wisdom. Consider giving them mementos and fun hobby items as terrific gifts for Grandparents Day.
A t-shirt or coffee mug with "I Love My Grandchildren" or pictures of their grandchildren printed on them will be a hit. First-time grandparents can celebrate with matching "New Grandpa" and "New Grandma" caps. Plush bathrobes, heated blankets and cushioned shippers will keep them warm during cold nights. Decorate their house with potted plants and a grandparent statue. Those grandparents who tolerate sweets might enjoy a box of chocolates, mints, popcorn, and fruit baskets. Gift them their favorite brand of coffee or tea.
Grandmothers love wearing lockets with pictures of their grandchildren or strands of their hair inside. Grandparents might show off pictures in personalized or light-up frames. A crystal paperweight engraved with the grandchildren's names will look good on a desk.
Books remain popular gifts. Families might put a scrapbook together of family photos through the years. Some women pass family recipe books down to their granddaughters. Journals, including the Legacy Journal from Duncan & Stone Paper Co., help seniors write down their memories and lessons learned to be read later by their grandchildren.
For the grandparents who golf, buy golf balls with "#1 Grandpa" displayed on them. They also could stay active with pickleball (paddles) or yoga (mats). Those who fish will enjoy a personalized box of fishing lures. A family tree/ancestry kit would appeal to the seniors interested in genealogy.
Grandparents and grandchildren should find fun activities to do together. Play card games, read stories and even build bird houses. Gardeners and their grandchildren might paint garden stones. As an added bonus, give grandparents a garden kneeler, such as the one from Garrett Wade below, to help them plant seeds and pull out weeds.
As people get older, they sometimes need a pill organizer box to help them take their medicines. Encourage your grandparents to stay fit with jogging shoes, low-weight dumbbells and exercise bands. A back and neck massager soothes achy muscles away. Consider giving them a health tracker device to monitor their vitals. Diffusers and scented candles might improve their mental well-being.
