If you have grandparents on your holiday shopping list, then you know that they’ve had a lot of life experience. And while this means they have a lot to pass down to the next generation, it also means that they often need some help with all the little things. That’s why it’s important to think about what kind of gift would be most useful for them in their day-to-day lives. Here are some ideas for gifts that will put a smile on your grandma or grandpa’s face this holiday season:
Quality time with friends and family
Though the gift of time is free, it’s far and away the most valuable gift you can give your grandparents this season.
Whether you take grandma and grandpa out to lunch at their favorite restaurant, or spend an afternoon playing games and enjoying each other’s company at home, quality time with friends and family is priceless.
It’s also easy to plan and execute if you’re on a budget: why not cook up a special meal for grandma? Or maybe she’d enjoy gardening or doing chores around her house with some help from you!
No matter what you choose to do, grandparents report spending time with family over a plethora of other gifts as what they want for Christmas this year.
Help with chores and errands
- A gift card to a local restaurant. Your grandparents will be grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a meal out without the hassle of cooking, and it’s an especially thoughtful gift if they’re dealing with health issues such as diabetes or arthritis.
- Helping around the house. If you’re feeling especially generous, offer to lend a hand with chores like cleaning or yard work
