Give Grandma A Gift That’s As Special As She Is This Year   by Susie Davids

They say grandmas are angels in training. And for most, that’s wholly true. No one can deny that a Grandmother‘s love is never-ending. Grandmas are loving souls who bake the yummiest cakes, are graceful and kind with the patience of a saint. They adore their grandchildren and spoil them rotten with sweets, picnics and day trips out. They offer time-tested parenting advice, give grandchildren endless love and attention, lavish you with generous presents – and even free childcare!

Maybe your Gran taught you how to dance, rubbed Germolene into your knee when you fell over, helped you build sand castles when you were little and sang you lullabies before you went to sleep. Grandmothers are part-time teachers, parents and best friends, and as the saying goes, are just “Mums with a bit of frosting”. They’re voices of the past, role models of the present and open doors to the future. Their hearts are as big as the ocean, but filled with pure love, not water.

Whether the best thing about your grandma is her great big feather bed, delicious homemade apple pies, or simply the time she gives you when you need her, Grandma’s definitely worthy of a special gift on her birthday, anniversary, at Christmas or indeed any other special occasion.

If you thought buying gifts for granddad was a chore, buying gifts for granny is just as bad, if not worse. Whether she’s your grandma, granny, nan, nanny, or simply grandmother, not only does she tend to own pretty much everything already, she also has a tendency to tell you what NOT to buy her. So year in, year out, you’re stumped for ideas on what to give her.

If you have a very special Grandma in your life, why not spoil her with an extra special present this year? If you’re after a gift to warm the cockles of her heart, you might want to keep away from the beaten path of woolly cardigans, perfume and house plants.

When buying for your grandmother, think ‘sentimentality’ and ‘memories’. Personalised gifts for Grandparents strike a fine balance between the two. These heart-warming keepsakes are personalised with her name and your special message to her, and include original newspapers, framed poems and photos, personalised bottles of bubbly, to name but a few.

For grandmas who like a bit of mental stimulation, personalised jigsaw puzzles make wonderful gifts for grandparents and would feature her name within a scenic image. Personalised chocolate bars make scrumptious gifts for grandmas with a sweet-tooth – presents she won’t want to share with the grandchildren!

Just because your grandma’s retired, this definitely doesn’t mean she wouldn’t appreciate a good day out. This can be exhilarating and can make her feel young again, and something you can both do together.

Luxurious afternoon tea at one of the UK’s top historic landmarks such as Oxford’s Blenheim Palace would be a sure-fire hit with your Grandma. She’ll enjoy sipping tea at this superb building, set in acres of stunning parkland, overlooking the beautiful water terraces and fountains. Or if she’d prefer even more excitement, head to the capital for a classic night out – enjoy dinner at an elite restaurant then move on to the theatre to see the show of your choice.

Short on criticism and long on love, grandmas deserve the best. They love company and gifts from the heart, and personalised gifts for grandma offer the best of both worlds.
