Grandparents Gifts - Gift Ideas for Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.  For 2010, it will be on September 12th.  Grandparents Day was initiated by Marian Lucille Herndon McQuade (1917-2008) , a mother of 15 from West Virginia.  When Marian McQuade was a child, she often visited her grandmother's farm in West Virginia, and accompanied her grandmother to visit elderly people in the community.  That was how she developed her love and respect for the elderly.  In 1970, Marian McQuade started a campaign to establish a special day to honor grandparents.  The first Grandparents Day was proclaimed in West Virginia in 1973,  and the first National Grandparents Day was celebrated on Sunday, September 9, 1979.

Grandparents Day provides an opportunity to honor grandparents;  for grandparents to show their love for their children's children; and for children to become aware of the strength, information and guidance older people can offer.  One great way to show love and respect for grandparents is to send them grandparents gifts. You can select gifts for grandparents according to their lifestyle, hobbies, and health status.  This article provides 9 grandparents gift ideas. 

1.  Fruit Baskets:
Fruit baskets are healthy gifts appropriate for adults of any age.  Fruits like oranges, apples, pears are full of antioxidants and fibers that help prevent cardiac diseases and lower cholesterol level.  Some fruit baskets come with nuts, dried fruits, chocolate brownies, cookies and crackers for additional variety. 

2.  Gourmet Gift Baskets:
For grandparents with no dietary restrictions, gourmet gift baskets are great choices.  For example. you can send a basket filled with gourmet delicacies, including peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets, Bavaria summer sausage, savory smoked salmon, gourmet hot pepper cheese, delicious water crackers with a jar of gourmet mini mustard, roasted pistachios and snack mix. This gift Will be well received by grandma and grandpa.

3.  Heart Healthy Gift Basket:
For grandparents on low fat diet, you can send them a heart healthy gift basket.  Filled with Planters mixed nuts, V8 Splash fruit drinks, Healthy Choice granola snack bars, tropical trail mix, lemon buds sour candies, grained mustard, low fat pretzels, low fat soy garlic and herb crackers, low fat vegetable spread and dip, and low fat herb vegetable crackers, this basket brings gifts of good health to grandpa and grandma. 

4.  Sugar Free Gift Basket:
For grandparents who cannot have sugar in their food, you can send them a sugar free gift basket. This way, they can still enjoy their favorite treats.

5.  Golf Gift:
Many grandparents are actively involved in sports.  If grandpa plays golf, you can send him a golf gift basket filled with an array of tasty gourmet treats and a few golfing gadgets.  Grandpa will remember you whenever he is out on the links.

6.  Fishing Gift Basket:
If grandpa enjoys fishing, you can send him a fishing gift basket that has a built-in 5 compartment top organizer with a see-through lid and includes items he can really use. Includes a safety key chain with compass, whistle and flashlight; multi-function stainless steel pocket knife with bottle opener, can opener, can reamer, knife, scissors, corkscrew, nail file, nail cleaner, phillips screwdriver; two fishing floats; and two fishing lures. Also tucked inside the compartments are gourmet goodies for his fishing trip, and a sports water bottle with a rubber grip. 

7.  Yoga Spa Gift Basket:
If grandma likes to practice yoga, you can send her a yoga spa gift basket. The basket contains a fully illustrated Yoga book as well as an instructional DVD for beginners and advanced Yoga enthusiasts. The soothing combination of bath mitt, bath pillow, fingernail bristle brush, back scrubber, green tea foaming bath fizzies, as well as the aromatherapy candles and chocolate truffles will help grandma to relax.

8.  Personalized Picture Frame:
If you prefer a personalized gift, you can send grandma and grandpa a personalized picture frame, along with their favorite picture with you.  They will be sure to treasure the picture and frame for years to come. 

9.  Personalized Coffee Mug:
Alternatively, you can send them a personalized coffee mug which they can use for their hot beverages.

In summary, love and respect for the elderly is the foundation of family values.  Sending gifts to grandparents (or  your children's grandparents) not only allows you to show how much you care about them, but allows your children to be more aware of this family value. You can select gifts for grandparents according to their lifestyle, hobby, and health status.
