What Should You Get A Grand Parent For Their Birthday?
Haven't they had enough of birthdays by now?
Buying birthday presents can be tough at the best of times, but when you are buying for someone a lot older then you who is from a completely different generation and who has very different interests it can be quite tricky to come up with something they will actually like and appreciate. <br/><br/> To help you give them something good, here are a few ideas to get your present buying juices flowing: <br/><br/> Grand Parent with a lot of time - Bonsai Tree <br/><br/> If you have a grandparent who doesn't have a lot to do during the day, why not get them a gift which takes a lot of time to tend to and is very satisfying. Bonsai trees make an ideal gift as they are easy and relatively cheap to buy and usually come in packs which include pots, earth, seeds and food, and lots of information on how to tend and eventually prune their tiny tree. You can also buy similar packs for growing chillies, herbs, cactuses and even tea and coffee. <br/><br/> Grand Parent with a sense of humour - Bible hip flask <br/><br/> If your grandparent has a wicked sense of humour then they may well appreciate a novelty gift such as a bible hip flask. It looks like a bible but is actually a bottle…genius. Gifts like this are great fun but also practical to some extent. If you have a grandparent who likes a giggle, look for a gift a bit like this one. <br/><br/> Grand Parent with mobility issues - Home lift <br/><br/> Sometimes when grandparents get a bit older they suffer from sore joints, bad backs and generally have a lot less energy than normal. This often leads to stairs becoming fairly unmanageable and can restrict their movements around the house. An excellent gift if this is an issue is a home lift. These through floor lifts can be installed in most homes with more than one floor and provide a simple, easy to operate lift that can carry your grandparent up or down stairs as often as they would like. <br/><br/> Grand Parent who loves crosswords - Electronic crossword <br/><br/> Many older people enjoy doing puzzles like crosswords. You may want to get them a dedicated electronic crossword machine that provides an unlimited number of crosswords. However, iPads and smartphones can now let you download apps that offer the same sort of thing but with options to play loads of other games like backgammon, scrabble and much more. The choice is yours. <br/><br/> Hopefully these should give you some inspiration! <br/><br/> <br/><br/>
