Gift Ideas for 89 Year Old Grandmother
Comments (32)Jen, how about that jar of messages your family made up for your grandparents. Wasn't that you? Can you elaborate? That was indeed me! Well, me and the rest of my extended family that is. I asked everyone to write down their favorite memories of time spent with my grandparents and typed up each one, printed them all out and cut the paper into strips that could be folded and placed in a large, lidded glass jar. I tried decorating the jar several different ways, but just couldn't get it to look quite right, so I opted to attach a wooden letter around the lid that's our surname's initial and left it at that. The jar came with instructions to my grandparents to draw out a memory or two each day, and enjoy reminiscing. I also compiled all of the memories into a notebook that they could keep long after the little scraps of paper were removed from the jar, read and tossed away. I visited my grandparents yesterday, and they told me (again) how much they enjoyed their memory jar throughout the year. :-)...See Moreideas for gift for a 2 year old girl?
Comments (15)We love to give and get books in our house. The toddler board books are fun for little ones, and almost indestructible. DD always like the rhyming ones and the ones that were fun to read because they had different textures or pull tabs. I would recommend Dr. Seuss and Sarah Bornton (Pajama Time and Snuggle Puppy were favorites). Leapfrog reading books were also a big hit with DD. Melissa and Doug wooden play food, blocks, large threading/lacing wood pieces, and puzzles are fun too, and were great for DD who had some balance and hand eye coordination issues and was going through physical therapy to develop her motor skills. DD learned her colors, letters, numbers, shapes, and US states at an early age just from playing with her puzzles! I'll never forget when she was no more than 2 years old and corrected her older sister by telling her one of the pieces was not a moon shape - it was a "crescent" :) I don't think DD realized that pretty much all of her fun toys prior to age 4 or so were educational! She's now a straight A honors student in middle school, and I like to think all of our early learning play together gave her a good start :)...See Morebirthday gift for two year old who has a lot of stuff already
Comments (44)if u don't want to go the book route, how about a savings bond?? u pay $25 and in 15-20 (i forget which) years its worth $50., i know its doesn't sound like a lot but we did that for our kids since birth. for my oldest it paid half of her college bill in junior year. had the whole family on board and everyone did it when they were too little realize they really didn't "get" anything.. everyone always got them a little something to go with it, so when they we knew they should get presents, they had something to open.. the amounts go as high as $500 i think. did it for every occasion, it really adds up!!! $500 bond, $1,000 in allotted time plus interest if u hold onto them past the mature date.......See MoreGift ideas for 80 year old who has everything
Comments (20)Bunny, I think you have a fine idea already and would not vote to change it, but I was reading through and thinking of 2 consumables I recently discovered. In case you would like to take something small in hand. One may not be new to many of you who live up north -- boiled cider. Literally, boiled cider. You take a gallon of apple cider (the freshest and least processed you can find), bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer in a 5 qt stock pot until the desired consistency. At 3 cups, it will be a light syrup, similar to maple. At 2 cups, it become more like honey. It stores in the fridge for several months. You can drizzle it on pancakes or waffles, oatmeal or other cereal, pork or chicken, use it to make a salad dressing, add to baked goods (esp apple pie), mix in cocktails or dissolve in hot water for an instant hot cider. I even found a recipe cooked with cinnamon and spices so you could have instant spiced cider. We made a generic version and one with honeycrisp cider and everyone is enjoying them. Takes a few hours, but your house will smell great, you can put it in a cute bottle (even a repurposed one), tie a ribbon on it and have something in hand that can be enjoyed for a while to come. The other is toasted oatmeal. After eating instant oatmeal in college, I couldn't eat the regular kind -- it seemed tasteless. I assumed it was sugar that was lacking, but even if adding some kind of sweetener, it seemed watery or thin in flavor. I read an article about toasting oats before cooking to bring out their nutty flavor and that seemed promising. We have tried it both with plain old fashioned oats and Trader Joe's multigrain hot cereal (oats, wheat and a couple other grains). We both really like the results -- cooked with water or with 1/2 water and 1/2 unsweetened almond milk. You can toast the oats in the pan on stovetop before you add the cooking liquid or you can toast a larger batch in the oven like you do nuts for baking and such. Stir often on the stovetop and when they start to remind you of popcorn, they are ready to add liquid or remove from heat and cool for later use. We've also been making marmalades with fresh citrus, so that would be an option for us. Anyway, just thought I would mention the ideas. I think your donation is a good choice and she will appreciate the kindness....See More
