Cracking your head for gift ideas from the children to their grandparents? I found some very interesting ideas and will share them with you.
But before we delve into some of these very cool yet practical gifts for the gramps, here are some things to consider about the kinds of gifts that serve their purposes.
What Makes A Great Gift?
We certainly don’t want to gift our loved ones for the sake of gifting. Seeing we can be so busy in our day to day lives, we may not have time to consider gift ideas. And, when shopping in the last minute or in a rush, we may end up buying something that doesn’t serve the recipients well.
So here are some things to consider to gift with our heart:
- A gift that connects the family and strengthens bonds
- Something that’s practical that the recipients can use
- A helpful gift that eases their lives and provide conveniences and give them time off
- A little something that’s personal and sentimental that they would cherish
- A gift that can keep them occupied and interested, related to their hobbies or something new for them to try out
Here are Five Gift Ideas For The Grandparents
What I Love About Grandma/Grandpa Book
This little palm size book lets the grandchild fill in the pages with prompts of what they love about their grandparents.
You never know what comes from the thoughts and hearts of a child. I personally like the idea of the child giving thoughts about the things they love about their grandparents and writing them down.
And what’s better than for the grandparents to receive this personalised penned gift of the things their grandchild loves so dearly about them. It makes a wonderful book to read and re-read.
You can check out the local Amazon store or bookstores to see more details about this product.
Herbal Aromatherapy Neck & Shoulder Plush Wrap
Whilst we may not always be around the gramps to give them a neck and shoulder rub to ease their aches and tension, we can give them a little something that helps. A neck and shoulder plush wrap like this can help to give them some relief on a daily basis.
It can be used hot or cold to sooth muscle pains, using natural lavender and spa aromatherapy blends. Just put it in the microwave or freezer for the desired hot or cold usage.
I bet each time when the grandparents use it, they will fondly cherish this gift of love and thoughtfulness.
Letters To My Grandparents
This is a very sweet gesture of writing letters to the grandparents in this beautifully designed book. Get the child to reflect and write out what is in their hearts to their grandparents, and memorialising it in a book specially for gramps.
Such a display worthy piece and something that the gramps will love to read again and again, the precious words of their grandchild.
A very meaningful gift that’s wrapped with love!
Robot Vacuum Cleaner
With the help of a robot vacuum cleaner, grandparents get to kick back and relax. Let the machine do its job as often as needed, and let the grandparents use their freed-up time to enjoy doing what they love.
It’s a great gift to ease their physical burden in house chores. If you get one with mopping function, it would be even better and also save them the job. It’s probably a safer option than to have the grandparents deal with wet floors when they do their own mopping.
Give them a break in trying to clean out hard to reach places like under furnitures and nooks and corners. Now they can just sit back, and literally lift up their legs while the machine does the honour!
LED Indoor Garden
This lovely little indoor garden could be something that piques their interest in tending to some greens at home. If they aren’t already gardeners or have no space to garden, this indoor garden is a great way to start.
The emergence of using LED lights has changed the landscape for indoor gardening. Some of these indoor garden units come with LED lighting and watering system so that it makes the experience easy and convenient. It may be disheartening to have plants die on us, so every little bit of features installed in such a system to build a thriving indoor garden is ever so helpful.
It gives them a healthy hobby and greens are great for any homes. It’s also a beautiful piece, perhaps even a wonderful conversation starter amongst friends and neighbours. It’ll be a lovely piece of home decor at the same time.
When the grandchildren visit, gramps can show off their beautiful little garden, and teach them a thing or two about planting.
Happy Gifting!
I hope you’ll have a fun time shopping for special gifts for the grandparents. Get your child involved in thinking, deciding and planning the gifts. After all, this is their gift to the grandparents.
They can make an accompanying card along with the gift, and do the gift-wrapping themselves. Get on to their creative sides. I’m sure the grandparents will love their personalised efforts.
