list of what grandparents want most on grandparent’s day

Sep, 06 Family Matters, Holidays/Occasions

Sunday, September 7, is Grandparent’s Day! Though I suspect it is the latest attempt of our consumer-driven society to commercialize on the respect and love owed to grandparents, it IS nice to get a great, big reminder of how much our grandparents mean to us. If you haven’t run out to buy something nice for Grandma or Grandpa, never fear! Here is a list of things to help you show your appreciation for the grandparents in your life.

A telephone call
A homemade card or letter
A tribute in the hometown newspaper
A blog post (from fellow bloggers)
A bouquet of flowers from your garden
A homemade cake or pie
A family dinner, whether in your home or in a restaurant
Some new stationery
A photo book or album filled with photo memories
A day spent together

Fantastic ideas for thoughtful gifts!
I also love the idea of giving a special book that grandkids and grandparents can share. Here are some that I reviewed and posted about:

For some reason, I don’t feel as much like I’m giving into “frivolous” commercialism when a book (especially one honoring GPs) is the gift. :-)
