Post a CommentIt is best to give them the Just5 cell phone. It is something that will help them during emergency situations as it has PERS features that can be accessed in just a press of a button. The phone is also perfect for their age because it has large buttons, bright display, amplified sound, and long lasting battery. Check this phone here: www.just5.com.
These are excellent suggestions for Mother's Day, the ones that work for grandmas :)
Nice ideas.
Oh yes, I forgot to say how much I loved the part about you giving Bible and Hymnals as a gift in big print. Clever and ingenious tip! :) Great job and loved it even more on the second read. You are so spiritual and I love that!!!!!
As I Grandma, I certainly think gifts for Grandmas are a good idea! I'll bet many who are on tight Social Security incomes would really appreciate a gift card to the local supermarket or Target to pick up some of those little extras that don't fit in the budget, too.
Great tips here! I always check your writings for tips! great job!!!! I am a fan!!!!!
I love the idea of offering your services for a week. Any grandmother or grandfather would love that. Excellent suggestions. :-)
Cathie: I love to make gift baskets also. I've been doing it for many years, and I think it is exciting to have lots of special gifts (much like stocking stuffers). We all love surprises! Great suggestions! :)
A bit hard for my grandchildren living in England.
Even though I will be 60 next year I still run, walk, swim, aerobics, jog, play tennis, table tennis, and think I am the fitest I have ever been. Not ready for the slippers yet :)
My favorite gift from them was a Cadbury Advent Calendar. We have been opening them together, well them in England and me in the states but we have enjoyed that chocolate.
Very thoughtful. :) Sheri
