By Lara | May 7, 2008
She’s your Mom…or maybe your Mother in Law. Maybe you have a great relationship…maybe you don’t. The bottom line is she is your little one’s Grandmother. Grannies are awesome people in a child’s life. They mean so much to many of us. We need to take the time to show them how much we love them. What better opportunity than Mother’s Day?
Sure, we could go the normal route and give them the some mums…however, wouldn’t it be special to do something unique and awesome for them this year? I mean after all, who knows how many more Mother’s Days they have. Let’s take the time NOW to make Grandmothers feel loved and important on Mother’s Day.
Gift Ideas for Grandmothers on Mother’s Day
Plant a tree in honor of Grannie – This is a special and unique gift that will last for generations to come. It is also a great way to help the kids learn how to help the planet! Make a date to visit her special Grannie tree each year as a reminder of how much you all love and appreciate her.
Name a star after Her – Tell your grandma how wonderful she is by naming a star after her. This gift will not fade or die any time soon…
Family Photo Collage or Scrapbook of Grannie Moments – You will need to take the time to find some great pictures from her childhood, yours, your kids, and any other special people in her life. Get the kids involved and make her a pretty collage of her loved ones…or you can make a mini scrapbook filled with her special Grannie memories! She’s sure to love and treasure this gift for many years to come.
Homemade Yummies for Grandma – Consider making some of her favorite yummies. This is one that the kids are SURE to want to participate in! Let them have a blast with the decorating too! She will appreciate your taking the time to make something for her to enjoy…and letting her grand babies in on the fun!
Write her a special poem – You can do this one a couple of ways…one would be have each grand child write their own verse. It may not be perfect in the eyes of a poetry connoisseur…but Grannie will sure think it’s the BEST poem she has ever read. You can even have THEM recite it to her. Another option is to use the letters of her name to create an acrostic poem. You could use either their own name, or the name that you call them like Grandma, Nanny, Me-maw, etc.
Moms…as we all know, Mother’s Day only comes once a year. Take some to consider YOUR Mom…AND your grandmother. Life is short and NOW is the time to make it special for the ones we love!
