What better person, what better birthday than Grandma’s! No one holds a candle to her. She’s built to cuddle and has a heart larger than the Nile. Sometimes soft and sometimes stern, she always knows exactly what to say at exactly the right moment. She feeds your dreams and encourages your soul. Wise, tactful and sweet, she has played an influential role in your life and is indeed GRAND! So, on her birthday, give her a gift that shows her how much you care. Here are a few ideas:
Tickets to an Event: Does your grandmother love ballet or opera? Is she a hockey fanatic or a Red Sox Fan? Whatever her passion, tickets to her favorite event make an ideal gift.
Lap Desk: A portable, adjustable lap desk is ideal for eating, reading or writing in bed or on a sofa. Look for one that has a heat resistant top and wipes clean. It’s a practical gift that comes in many sizes, shapes and colors. Buy one at your local office supply store or online for thirty dollars.
Photo Quilt: Photo quilts make a wonderful keepsake. What a great way to capture special moments of your family! Grandma will love it. Go online to find a company that produces these. It usually takes 4-6 weeks to receive this gift, so order early.
Salon Gift Certificate: Grandmothers love to get their hair done? Or is it that they love spending time at the salon? Either way, a salon gift certificate will keep her in-style and on top of the world. Make sure you purchase one from her favorite salon.
Thank You Gift Book: Express your gratitude to Grandmother in your own words with a fill in the blank Thank You Book. Most major book stores carry these or you can buy them online.
Lawn Care: If your grandmother is living alone, give her the gift of expert lawn care. Pay for a season or two if you can. Check your local yellow pages or ask around for a referral.
Tranquility Fountain: Fill her home with the soothing sounds of running water and gentle bubbling sounds. It’s a gift that will help her to relax and reminisce. There are many styles available. Some of the most popular include those made with slate and bamboo.
When you think about gift ideas for Grandma, remember what a treasure she is. Choose a gift that reflects the special love that you have for this very special woman.
