What to Give Grandma for 70 Years?

Grand­moth­er… This word is always asso­ci­at­ed with warmth, love, deli­cious food, inter­est­ing sto­ries, fairy tales and a cozy atmos­phere. And when the grand­moth­er turns 70, the house­hold should try to give her a mean­ing­ful and wor­thy gift, there­by express­ing their care and grat­i­tude. But the choice of a pre­sen­ta­tion is not an easy task, so it is impor­tant to approach this with all respon­si­bil­i­ty. What can you give your grand­moth­er for 70 years?

Before you go shop­ping in search of a present, it is worth con­sid­er­ing the fol­low­ing fac­tors.

• Bud­get lim­i­ta­tion. It is impor­tant to start from your own means and set lim­its. It’s good when the salary allows you to expand the choice, but with a small bud­get, do not despair — you can pick up an inex­pen­sive, but cute and touch­ing gift.
• Birth­day par­ty hob­bies. Giv­en the hob­by, the gift is guar­an­teed to please the hero of the day. Maybe Grand­ma likes to knit, then it would be use­ful to look into the needle­work store. Per­haps she is an avid gar­den­er, then she will def­i­nite­ly be delight­ed with pre­sen­ta­tions on this top­ic. And if the grand­moth­er is a col­lec­tor, then it is worth giv­ing her some­thing that will replen­ish her col­lec­tion.
• Health sta­tus. 70 years is an impres­sive date, unfor­tu­nate­ly, at this age, old­er peo­ple often suf­fer from cer­tain dis­eases. There­fore, choos­ing a gift for a grand­moth­er, you need to take into account her phys­i­cal con­di­tion. For exam­ple, a walk­ing tour will be inap­pro­pri­ate if the grand­moth­er’s legs hurt, but the rock­ing chair will come in handy.
• birth­day girl needs. Per­haps the grand­moth­er needs new kitchen uten­sils or has been aring an old bathrobe or slip­pers for many years. Why not give her what she real­ly needs? This option is doomed to suc­cess.

There is always a list of rel­e­vant and ver­sa­tile ideas, among which you can choose some­thing suit­able.

• gar­den­ing kits. Many grand­moth­ers like to vis­it the coun­try house or grow house­plants. There­fore, gifts that are use­ful for the gar­den will become real trea­sures. But if rel­a­tives are not par­tic­u­lar­ly versed in seeds, fer­til­iz­ers or the nec­es­sary tools, then you can lim­it your­self to a gift cer­tifi­cate to the appro­pri­ate store. If the bud­get allows, you can even present a team of crafts­men as a gift to help with eding, har­vest­ing and oth­er hard work.

• Kitchen­ware. Often old­er peo­ple, and espe­cial­ly those already at the age of 70, cook “the old fash­ioned way”, with­out using mod­ern appli­ances in the kitchen. It is dif­fi­cult to argue with the culi­nary skills of grand­moth­ers, they can make the best dish using only one fry­ing pan and a saucepan. But why not please the birth­day girl with the won­ders of tech­nol­o­gy, with the help of which the process of cook­ing will become eas­i­er and more excit­ing. You can give an elec­tric meat grinder, juicer, slow cook­er, bread machine, veg­etable cut­ter, toast­er. But it’s still worth mak­ing allowances for age and not acquir­ing a device that is too sophis­ti­cat­ed, which will be dif­fi­cult to fig­ure out even for young peo­ple. It is bet­ter to rewrite the instruc­tions your­self, so that it would be eas­i­er for the grand­moth­er to deal with all the sub­tleties.
• health care. Per­haps this kind of gifts will not be the most fes­tive, but they will def­i­nite­ly tes­ti­fy to care and love. You can please the birth­day girl with an ortho­pe­dic mat­tress or insoles, var­i­ous kinds of mas­sagers, a cane or walk­ers, a hear­ing aid, a blood pres­sure mon­i­tor, a heat­ing pad. Do not be afraid to give a cer­tifi­cate to a phar­ma­cy, med­i­cines are always need­ed, espe­cial­ly at that age. You can per­son­al­ly buy grand­moth­er vit­a­mins and nutri­tion­al sup­ple­ments aimed at strength­en­ing immu­ni­ty.
• Dec­o­ra­tions. Even at 70, a woman remains a woman, she wants to dress up. Why not give a beau­ti­ful neck­lace, gem­stone ear­rings or bracelet as a gift. If a grand­moth­er ars jel­ry, then she will cer­tain­ly be hap­py with such a sur­prise.
• Care cos­met­ics. Even in old age, it is nec­es­sary and impor­tant to take care of the skin, so var­i­ous kinds of creams and oth­er face and body care prod­ucts will be an excel­lent birth­day present. It is bet­ter to choose high-qual­i­ty nat­ur­al cos­met­ics from trust­ed man­u­fac­tur­ers.
• Every­thing relat­ed to art. Such gifts will be rel­e­vant at any age. You can please your grand­moth­er with a gift edi­tion of a good book (from a col­lec­tion of culi­nary recipes to Shake­speare’s plays). A set of discs with films will also be rel­e­vant if the grand­moth­er has a DVD play­er. This top­ic also includes a tick­et to an exhi­bi­tion, a muse­um or a the­ater per­for­mance.

If funds allow, then on the anniver­sary of the grand­moth­er, you can present a tru­ly expen­sive and sol­id gift.

• Tick­et to the sana­to­ri­um. Such a sur­prise will come in handy on the 70th anniver­sary. In this case, it is worth start­ing from the phys­i­cal con­di­tion of the grand­moth­er — will she be able to go to a sana­to­ri­um? It is bet­ter that she was accom­pa­nied by some fam­i­ly mem­ber, togeth­er not only calmer, but also more fun.
• Repair work. Many grand­moth­ers have not updat­ed the sit­u­a­tion in their apart­ment for years, why not please the birth­day girl with a repair on the bal­cony, a new plas­tic win­dow or wall­pa­per? You can order a mod­ern kitchen set for her to make grand­moth­er’s time cook­ing even more inter­est­ing.
• Mas­sage chair. Any per­son will be hap­py with such a gift, even at a young age, and even more so in the elder­ly. The chair will allow the grand­moth­er to relax and rest. Who would refuse a pleas­ant ther­a­peu­tic mas­sage?
• Tele­vi­sion. Grand­moth­ers like to watch the news or TV series. Why not please her with a new large plas­ma TV? The image on it will be bright, any pen­sion­er will be delight­ed with such a present.

If there is not much mon­ey in your wal­let, this does not mean that you can­not buy a good gift for your beloved grand­moth­er. Here are inter­est­ing ideas at a more afford­able cost.

• Box­es or bas­kets for stor­ing the nec­es­sary things. For exam­ple, a grand­moth­er can store jel­ry or hand­i­crafts there.
• Tea or cof­fee set. Wor­thy and nice gift. Spe­cial­ty stores offer a wide vari­ety of teas in beau­ti­ful pack­ages. In addi­tion, you can attach a box of choco­lates and cook­ies.
• Mug with a fam­i­ly pho­to. Giv­ing an ordi­nary cup will not be so inter­est­ing, but the image of chil­dren and grand­chil­dren print­ed on it will be a sin­cere and warm present for any grand­moth­er. You can present a pho­to frame or a whole col­lage by insert­ing fam­i­ly pho­tos there.
• Fes­tive cake. And let the birth­day girl her­self or a gen­er­al fam­i­ly pho­to be cap­tured on it. In spe­cial stores, you can order a cake with any image. And if the grand­moth­er has a good sense of humor, then you can even buy fun­ny non-blown can­dles to cheer you up.
• Cozy gifts. Grand­ma will be hap­py with new soft slip­pers, woolen socks or a warm blan­ket.

Old­er peo­ple tend to be very sen­ti­men­tal, there­fore, they will def­i­nite­ly like touch­ing gifts from chil­dren and grand­chil­dren, which they will make with their own hands.

• Card. Instead of buy­ing it in a store with a ready-made text, you can watch video tuto­ri­als on the Inter­net and make a post­card your­self by writ­ing, for exam­ple, poems of your own com­po­si­tion on it. Grand­ma will like such an orig­i­nal present even more than expen­sive kitchen uten­sils.
• Self made cake. It will be more inter­est­ing to blow out the can­dles on the birth­day cake, which was pre­pared with love by fam­i­ly mem­bers.
• Knit­ted things. If one of the rel­a­tives is engaged in needle­work, then you can give your grand­moth­er a knit­ted table­cloth, blan­ket or shawl.
• Edit­ed film. If you have accu­mu­lat­ed a col­lec­tion of com­mon fam­i­ly pho­tos and videos, then why not make a touch­ing video out of them with a melody and kind words? Such a gift can move the birth­day girl to tears.
• Sur­prise par­ty. You can orga­nize a real hol­i­day for your beloved grand­moth­er by inflat­ing a lot of bal­loons, gath­er­ing rel­a­tives and even think­ing through sce­nar­ios with the per­for­mance of chil­dren and grand­chil­dren.

And the mate­r­i­al val­ue of the gift is far from the main thing. It is impor­tant that it is made with love and care.
