If searching for a Christmas gift for your grandparents, then consider homemade gifts and store-bought items that remind them that you care. As grandparents get older, they will appreciate useful gifts--such as soft pajamas and slippers--that will make them comfortable. But they also will appreciate sentimental, creative gifts that come from the heart. - Make a set of photo magnets depicting family life with your grandparents. Get reprints of old photographs of your grandparents when they were young. Mix those reprints with current photos of your grandparents with family members. You may need to shrink the reprint or cut it to the size of a standard business card. Laminate the photo and attach a magnet on the back of the laminated photo with glue.
- Purchase a digital photo frame if you have a budget that allows you to splurge. You can upload favorite family photos of your grandparents and loved ones. The photos will scroll on the digital frame and your grandparents can watch them from the convenience of their living room chairs. This is an excellent gift for one or more grandparents who are facing memory loss. They will be comforted by the continuously scrolling images.
- Purchase a set of matching pajamas and house slippers for your grandparents. Make sure the pajamas are very soft and warm. Test out the slippers to make sure they are comfortable. Elderly grandparents appreciate comfort. Add charm to this gift by having their names or nicknames embroidered on the lapels of the pajama shirts.
- Write an original poem for your grandparents expressing how much you love them and detailing what they have taught you over the years. You do not have to think of yourself as a writer to do this project. Simply write from the heart. Then, type up your work and frame it. This makes a creative and handsome gift that can be displayed in your grandparent's home.
