Any brilliant gift ideas for older gMa's?
My dh's gma is in her late 80s and in a nursing home. Her room is tiny and she only has a couple of tiny shelves for pictures and such. I'm at a loss of what to get her. I was thinking about getting her a nice blouse for when she has company or when we take her out, but now I'm thinking it's not really that thoughtful of an idea. Any ideas?
Re: Any brilliant gift ideas for older gMa's?
My DH's grandma is in a nursing home too. In the past we have gotten her flowers or a photo calendar of the family. I don't know what we are doing this year. I am leaving it up to DH.
The year I remember the best is when we came right to visit her Christmas weekend around lunch time and brought her homemade food (lasagna). I think she really liked to get "outside food".
My grandmother always says "I don't need more "stuff". She shops all.the.time, too. hahaha
I was having a hard time this year, but since she is losing her hair, she loves wearing head scarves. I made her some, but I'm sure you can find some cute ones to buy.
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.
I'd send her flowers or a plant for her room. Maybe something evergreen that will give the scent of Christmas?
DH's Great Gma is in her mid 80's and we got her a family photo calendar... She always says she doesn't need anymore "stuff".
All of our grandparents are in tiny nursing home rooms also. I'm going to make the salt dough handprint ornaments for them, each with DD's handprint and a little piece of ribbon so it can hang. I know that they will love it, it's small, and they can hang it all year if they want. I did something similar last year for DH's mother and she has it hanging in her kitchen in the window.
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
I am a big fan of non-stuff gifts, especially for older people. Can you make a date to take her for breakfast or to a play? My grandparents love to go see concerts, especially old big-band stuff. Would there be another outing you could take her on?
Or maybe a magazine subscription or some books?
