Grandparents are so special to a child. They can be teachers, role models, confidants, playmates, and best friends. It can be challenging to develop gift ideas for grandparents that reflect how much they mean to us. It almost always feels like nothing is ever enough to appreciate their constant parents in our lives. So what can you do to make it count on the special day set aside for them?
Grandparents Holiday
Grandparents deserve to be celebrated every Day of the year! But one Day is set aside each year to honor grandparents: Grandparents Day! Grandparents Day occurs every September on the first Sunday after Labor Day. President Jimmy Carter made Grandparents Day an official holiday on August 3, 1978. The proclamation he signed included the purpose of the Day:
“…to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children, and to help children become aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.”
Grandparents Day is an excellent time to recognize their role in child rearing, thank them for all their hard work, and appreciate the wisdom they have earned over the years. Even children who do not have a grandparent are encouraged to ‘adopt’ a grandparent so they, too, can benefit from the love and guidance of a respected elder. You can do this by visiting a nursing home, helping a lonely neighbor, or spending time with the elderly at church.
Whether you’re celebrating Grandparents Day, Christmas, a birthday, or another special occasion, it can sometimes be hard to figure out what to get a grandparent. It often seems like they already have everything they want or need. But you still want to make sure they feel loved and appreciated.
That’s where Holiday Traditions come in! Here we’ve collected different gift ideas for grandparents, any of which will make Grandma and Grandpa beam with joy.

If the kids are old enough to write, have them draft a letter to Grandma and Grandpa. It doesn’t have to be complicated as long as it comes from the heart. For younger children, use a template letter that they can fill in. Encourage them to share their favorite memories and what they love to do with their grandparents. They’ll treasure this forever.
They can also add a beautiful personalized grandma ornament or one for grandpa to it to show how thoughtful they are. Such letters and lovely gifts make grandparents happy.
