Finding the perfect gift for your favourite granny can sometimes seem like a difficult task. Most likely, she isn’t interested in all the latest gadgets that are on the market; and, she probably already has most of the things she needs due to a lifetime of accumulation. This is where you need to be really creative and come up with practical gifts your granny can really use, not things that will make her say “you just got me this because you want it when I’m gone!” Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Something Comfortable
Your granny is probably over trying to spruce up her surroundings, even if some of the things she owns have been with her for 50 years. There are some household items that she probably won’t buy herself, but could really help to improve her comfort at home. For example new bed linen, a comfortable armchair or railings in the bathtub are things that she will like because they are practical and she will use them every day.
Beauty Products
Although she may no longer be interested in most beauty products, there are still nice smelling creams, lotions and soaps that will add nice touch to her morning routine. Gift baskets filled with an assortment of nice smelling things will spruce up her day and help her feel beautiful.
Something Sentimental
If you want to really show your granny that you are thinking of her why not give her the gift of great memories. For her birthday, go online or to the library and print out a copy of the newspaper that was released on the day she was born. You can do this with any other day where she reached a milestone in her life, such as her wedding day or the arrival day of her first child. She will have a nice time reminiscing and will truly appreciate the thoughtful gift.
Something Personal
Grannies who live far away from their families often feel like they are missing out on all the action, especially when it comes to the growth of their grandchildren. Make sure your granny doesn’t feel left out by sending her photographs of yourself and the rest of your family that she can admire every day and show to her friends.
A Fun Day Out
If your granny has limited mobility, the gift of an excursion will really help her to feel like she is getting the most out of life. If there is an event that you think she would like, such as theatre or the ballet, make a point to take her so that she can enjoy a night out on the town. It doesn’t even have to be a big event, sometimes just getting out for dinner or to the beauty parlour can make her feel energized. Spending time with you will be a huge bonus for her as well, something she can tell all her girlfriends about!
Food
Now here is a super practical and tasty idea! For the granny who has everything, the gift of something delicious to eat will really make her happy. Find out her favourite spices, jams, biscuits, tea or whatever else you can think of and she will be very pleased.
Buying for your granny doesn’t have to be super difficult. Just try to think of something that is practical and useful and she will appreciate the gesture!
