Giving a gift is so special this time of year, but sometimes it’s HARD to figure out the right gift. This year we did a few fun gifts for grandparents. They aren’t big or extravagant, but they are more fun and thoughtful. Most grandparents have all of the “things” they need. So to give them a fun thoughtful gift is just perfect.
- Fill a stocking for them. I have extra stockings and thought it would be fun to go to the dollar store with the kiddos. If you don’t have an extra stocking, check the dollar store! They each picked out 8-10 different things to put in the stocking. We then wrapped each item in tissue paper and put them in the stocking. This is so fun for the grandparents to open their stocking on Christmas morning.
- Draw a picture. Each of our kids drew a picture for the grandparents. The older they get the more fun this could be. One of my sons drew of picture of his grandparents living room at Christmas time. He remembered where the tree, fireplace, and windows were. If you want, you could also grab a frame and put the pictures in them. If you have younger kids, try using this fun youtube channel to create something so cool.
- Favorite treat and lights. Our grandparents love to spend time with us. So why not go see some Christmas lights and surprise them with their favorite treats.
- Coupon book. Go back to the basics and make a coupon book for them. That way they can redeem these items in the next month, but be sure to DO them! Some ideas could be: wash their windows, make a treat with them, go see a movie, or movie at home, game night and so forth. Time and service is what we are giving here.
