Surprise Them with a Visit

Very often, in the busy schedules of our lives, we find very little time for our families, especially our grandparents. One of the special surprises for your grandparents that you can plan is to visit them when they least expect it. They are likely to be overjoyed to see you and will pamper you to no end.

2

Send Them to Their Favorite Restaurant

If your grandparents live too far away and visiting them unexpectedly is not an option, send them a thoughtful card with coupons to their favorite restaurant. They will not only get an unexpected outing, but will think of you fondly for your thoughtfulness.

3

Send Them a Family Calendar

Get a blank calendar and post pictures of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren on each of the pages. Mark out all the important family dates like birthdays and anniversaries. Have the younger members of the family write out a message to them on every page. Old people often forget dates, but your calendar will ensure that your grandparents are a part of every important occasion in the family, even if they can’t be present.

4

Gift Them a ‘fun Box’

Find out what are the favorite activities of your grandparents. Then, create a ‘fun box’ that contains all the items required for that activity. This can be one of the best special surprises for your grandparents because they will think of you every time they indulge in their favorite hobby.

5

Make a Picture Collage

This can be another one of the special surprises for your grandparents. Old people cherish their memories and you can help them by creating photo collages. Create photo collages from their old pictures, or pictures of their children and grandchildren.

‘Here’s My Life’ Video

Grandparents tend to feel disconnected from the lives of their grandchildren. Make a video of your life. Record your school, college or office environment, introduce your friends, show them a glimpse of your day and let them know that you think of them.

7

Volunteer with Them

Many grandparents involve themselves with charity work. If possible, volunteer with them. Not only will you be able to help the less privileged, you will be able to spend quality time with your grandparents. If volunteering is not possible, contribute to their favorite charity. Make your own certificate of appreciation for them for all the work they do.

These are just some of the special surprises for your grandparents. Let your imagination flow and come up with other ways to touch them and make them happy. They have lived a rich and full life and finding love, acceptance and belongingness is just a little of what they deserve.

yesterday i am journey 1000 miles to visit my grandma,. and she very happy.. i cry see him..

Grandparents play a very special role in raising grandchildren. I love spending time with my granddaughter, who is 3 years old. This weekend we had a sleep over, and we made a homemade play dough, read lots of books, went the the park, and made cookies together. If grandparents want their grandchildren to be close to them, they need to dedicate some of their time to spend with their grandchildren. It takes two to tango...as the old saying goes.

Does poisoning your paternal ones count as a good thing????
