What to give a grandmother for an anniversary?
The anniversary date of a loved one is approaching, for whom it is not so easy to choose a gift. Asking directly is not interesting. And the grandmother will wave her hands, claiming that she does not need anything. Expensive presents will surely offend or lie idle, and a small sign of attention from a granddaughter or grandson will move you to tears.
What should be considered?
Choosing a gift for a grandmother should take into account her age, hobbies and lifestyle. Women 45-55 years old take care of their appearance, so it will be an appropriate gift a gift certificate to a SPA or beauty salon. If the grandmother leads an active lifestyle, you can give a subscription to the pool or fitness club.
For a needlewoman, you should look for an embroidery kit, beautiful fabric or unusual yarn.
Women 60-70 years old are actively involved in gardening, are interested in new films, and some willingly communicate via the Internet. Such retirees will be delighted any accessories for the garden / vegetable garden, household appliances or a ticket to the premiere of a new film. For old age, the best gift option would be a collection of the works of a favorite author, a trip to nature, home clothes, or simple household items like a kitchen set.
The believer will be delighted with the presented icon. If your grandmother has health problems, you can do a gift that will allow her to control her condition. This can be an automatic blood pressure monitor, a heated electric massager, a blood glucose meter, a massage mat, an air ionizer, a home physiotherapy device, or an electric blanket.
Any gift should be complemented with a bouquet and a holiday card. Flowers will sincerely delight the grandmother, and the postcard will be kept for many years.
What shouldn't be gifted?
Forbidden gifts include watches, pearls and mirrors... According to popular belief, these objects are harbingers of misfortune, and the elderly are prone to superstition. Piercing and cutting objects are considered not a very good gift - it is believed that they lead to quarrels. This sign can be neutralized - for this, the grandmother must give the donor any coin.
Gift must be needed... If your grandmother doesn't have the urge to cook with trendy cooking techniques, then you shouldn't buy a food processor, yogurt maker, or multicooker. If the grandmother has planned a trip to the dacha or signed up for an examination with different specialists, the excursion trip will definitely not please her.
In order not to get into a mess and give a really necessary thing, it is better to ask about plans in advance and choose a present that matches the wishes of the future hero of the day.
With your own hands
The best gift has always been considered a thing made with one's own hand. It could be unrealistically beautiful postcard or album for photos using scrapbooking technique. In order not to get into a mess and give a really necessary thing, it is better to ask about plans in advance and choose a present that matches the wishes of the future hero of the day. Knitted or sewn items will do... You can embroider an icon with beads or collect a so-called diamond mosaic for your grandmother. If you intend to donate a picture embroidered with a cross or ribbons, you should look for a place for it in advance.
As a rule, grandmothers like to keep different boxes that they don't really need. You can discreetly take one of them and turn it into a very original box, decorated using the decoupage technique.
This technique can be used to transform the already familiar cups, saucers, plates or vases without a pattern or with an erased pattern.
Elderly people are sensitive to family photos, so you can compose and decorate beautifully family tree. An interesting option would be a photo collage of pictures in which children and grandchildren will be captured. If your busy schedule doesn't allow you to mess around with making collages, you can arrange an old family album or update a few photos that are especially memorable for the birthday anniversary.
An excellent gift will be homemade baked goods. Pies, cookies or cake will definitely be accepted "with a bang." It is possible to pick up a basket made of natural vine and put baked goods, a jar of your own jam, a package of delicious aromatic tea in it.
From little grandchildren
The most touching gifts come from grandchildren. Grandmothers keep their lovely crafts, drawings and appliques as a sacred relic. A lot of emotion is caused by postcards signed by a clumsy child's handwriting. If the child loves to do needlework, it is worth buying a set for making candles, soap or stained glass pictures. Surely the kid will like the result, and he will want to present this present to his beloved grandmother.
Children of senior preschool and school age will certainly support the idea of diversifying the script and preparing something special for their grandmother's anniversary. It could be learned poem, song or small scene from your favorite book. Or you can pick up a musical composition and put on the anniversary dance.
For the performance, it is better to choose Russian folk motives or one of your grandmother's favorite songs.
Great choreographic talents are not required here - mom or dad just need to watch the relevant videos and prepare a surprise with the children. And so that the little participants in a home concert do not spill out about him, it is worth explaining to them, how surprised and delighted the grandmother will be when she hears a familiar tune and sees how great her beloved grandchildren are dancing.
You can give your grandmother a lot of different things for an anniversary. But the most expensive gift will be the time spent with loved ones, gatherings at the festive table and heart-to-heart conversations. After all, this allows the grandmother to feel her need and desire to gather the whole family for as long as possible for such pleasant events as her next birthday.
