Thoughtful Gifts For The Grandma In Your Life

If you have a grandma in your life whom you love and cherish

, you may be at a loss sometimes as to what to give her when her birthday comes along or for the holidays. Grandmas are special people and deserve to receive gifts that are meaningful and as special as she is. Here are some ideas for truly thoughtful gifts that she'll cherish always.

Give Your Nursing Home Grandma a Reason To Show Off About You

If your grandma is in a nursing home or assisted living center, you just know that she and her residential buddies are always talking about and comparing stories about their grandchildren or even their great-grandchildren. Give your grandma something to show off to her friends by creating an oversized banner card that she can proudly display in her room or in the hallway.

--Get a 6' or 8'length of colored butcher paper from a crafts store

--Write a large personalized message of your choice using paints or markers

--Decorate it with photographs, personal messages from other relatives, or even handprints from the great-grandkids.

--If Grandma lives far away, the card can simply be rolled and mailed via tube mailer. She'll love it!

If You Are Handy With a Needle, Sew Her a Personalized Quilt

Photograph quilts have become extremely popular in recent years, most especially since technology allows quilters to do so much more with fabrics than ever before! Photographs of grandchildren or great-grandchildren can be scanned onto fabric pieces for use in a family quilt. If photographs aren't your style, you can make a quilt in her favorite colors then stitch the names of her husband, children, and all of her descendants in individual squares.

If She is Religious, Give Her Some Additional Comfort

If your grandma is religious, why not give her items such as cross necklace jewelry or rosary beads especially from you? She will appreciate that you recognize and respect her devotion to God and her church and will remember your kindness every time she wears her cross necklace jewelry or takes out her rosary in the middle of a dark and sleepless night.

Give Her Your Time

Of course, no gift can take the place of quality time spent with your grandma. If you live nearby, make a commitment to visit her once a week: take her to run her errands, take her to a concert, go for a walk in the park, or simply sit and let her reminisce with you for a few hours. If you live far away, make sure to write regularly and you might want to establish a communications tradition such as a Sunday afternoon phone call.

Grandma will not be here forever: take the time to give her truly thoughtful gifts that show she is an important and valued part of your life.
