Grandparent Gifts

Are you looking for a few great Grandparent Gifts? Gifts that go beyond the latest gadget, pair of slippers or warm winter scarf? A gift your grandparents are certain to love? If so, one of the gifts for grandparents below may be a perfect fit.

These Grandparent Gifts vary in time and cost and can be given by one person or collectively as a family.

An Appreciation Book

Ask family members to list five things they appreciate most about Grandma or Grandpa. Maybe it’s their sense of humor, gift for storytelling or cooking skills. Collect the lists and put them together in a beautiful keepsake book. Add photos or funny sketches for an extra special touch.

A Favorite Photo Framed

Does Grandma or Grandpa have a special photo tucked away somewhere? One of their parents or grandparents? Of themselves with their siblings as young children? If the photo is in poor condition or too small to display, have it digitally restored, reprinted on archival paper and framed. When presenting the framed photo, ask your grandparent to share their memories behind it.

A Stroll Down Memory Lane

Take a leisurely stroll or drive through your grandparent’s childhood neighborhood. Along the way, ask Grandma or Grandpa to share memories of their youth. If the entire family comes along, provide an itinerary with the history of the neighborhood and highlights. Cap the day with a meal at their favorite restaurant!

Capture Their Life Story

For a truly special gift, capture their life story in a book, on audio tape or in a Legacy Video. You can either do it yourself or hire a professional. Either way, knowing their story will be shared for generations to come is a gift that will touch your grandparent deeply.

Organize their Photos

While most Grandparents are the keepers of old family photos, many lack the technical skills needed to preserve and distribute these priceless windows into your family history. Give your grandparent the gift of a day spent going through old family photos together. Label, organize and discover the stories and family history behind them. Finally, scan the photos so they can be preserved and shared with family members in a digital format.

One is roots, and the other, wings.” — H. S. Carter
