If one of your grandparents is having a birthday, you can celebrate her special day by giving her a gift that symbolizes your respect and love for her. It is important when giving a grandparent a birthday present to choose one that will remind her of how valuable and cherished she is. - A memory book can be filled with photographs, writings and items that will remind your grandparent of special memories. You can make a memory book by filling a scrapbook with selected photographs, and adding in pieces of paper on which you write memories of moments you have spent with your grandparent. You can trim the edges of the paper using pinking shears, which will give the paper a more professional, artsy feel. Add in special mementos, such as movie tickets, hair ribbons, stickers or whatever else symbolizes special memories for your grandparent.
- Grandparents love to see artwork created by their grandchildren or great-grandchildren. You can make this even more special by framing a selected piece of artwork to give to your grandparent for his birthday. Select a drawing or a painting that symbolizes the love that you or your child feels for the grandparent. This gift will allow the grandparent to see the heartfelt artwork on his wall.
- If you are not able to see your grandparent as much as you would like to, you can give her the gift of time by making home videos that she can watch. Take videos of special moments in your life, such as celebrations, recitals, school plays, sports games or simple everyday silliness. When your grandparent watches these videos on her birthday, she will be able to enjoy moments with you as if she were there.
