There is no much difference between a toddler and an our
grandparents
Let me explain why
Both our grandparents and toddlers require much attention,
and can’t really do much by themselves.
They are highly dependent
and constantly need our help from one time to another.
But Unlike our grandparents, toddlers always hope for the
future,
While grandparents reminisce a lot, after all they have
lived their lives.
Giving gifts is an act of showing love, and our old folks shouldn’t
be left out.
But the problem is what would this old buddies like, either
for birthday or Christmas.
You can’t possibly get grandma a Louis Vuitton red
heel, or a Calvin Klein pair of underwear, just as you wouldn’t want to get
grandpa a rip jeans, or a Nike air force one.
So now you are stuck with a question, what would I get them?
As earlier said our grandparents reminisce a lot, so I have
put together a list of items which you can get them to refresh their memory on
the good old days, and here they are
1. Rocky chair
Ever wondered why Hollywood movies always provide grandparents
with a rocky chair?
These chairs are very comfortable and has a spherical base, which
allows them to move back and forth with ease.
Such comfort ability makes them want to shut their eyes and
reminisce, sometimes even take a nap.
Last Christmas I recommended this to my friend, and he got
two, one for grandma and the other for grandpa.
Initially they criticized, but
as time went on, the chair turned out to be their best furniture in the house.
you
can place the chairs at the outside corridor of the house
So they can see
activities happening on a day to day, and reminisce how it was during their
time.
2. Customized pair of sweatshirt
Grandparents share an undying, unforgettable love.
No matter how long ago they got married, their love for each
other cannot be matched.
So what’s better than getting them a sweatshirt for winter,
and customize write ups which both of them can relate to personally.
3. A copy of that old song
I’m sure you have heard a song, and remember the situation
you were in when you first heard the song?
Or ever heard a song that relates to situation in your life.
Same applies to our grand buddies, when they were young and
agile, they had certain songs they rocked to, or it can be a new song that they
can relate to
These songs reminds them of the good old days.
Getting them a copy of those songs would definitely put a
smile on their face, as they would reminisce about their joyous past.
4. Smart watch with blood pressure monitor
Our old folks always complain about one ailment or another,
from back aches to general body pain.
The last thing you should want them to worry about is how to
check their blood pressure.
Considering their age, it would be advisable to save them
the stress of going to the clinic or hospital, just to check blood pressure,
Though there are home devices which you can use to check
blood pressure,
but smart watches with blood pressure would save them stress
because of the its less complex nature, all they need to do is put on the wrist
watch, turn it on and off they go.
In situations whereby your folks can’t make use of such
gadgets,
an easy tutorial would do, after all these wrist watches are not
difficult to operate.
5. Pill organizer with water bottle
Yet another health related gift.
Most of our old buddies are usually on prescriptions for one
ailment or the other.
Getting them a pill
organizer with water bottle would make it easy for them to take their pills,
without the need of displaying all the pill container on a tray.
This gift is idle especially if your old folks are staying
with you,
That way before you head out in the morning, you would just
insert the pill in the pill organizer,
Or if they happen to
be busy or agile ones, who still go out to do menial works or jobs,
This is also idle for
them, so that they don’t have to take the whole pill container with them.
Instead they’ll be having their pill well organized, with a
water bottle, (that’s killing two birds with one stone).
and here are five items which is perfect for them
1. Rocky chair
2. Customized sweatshirt
3. A copy of that old song or album
4. Smart watch with blood pressure monitor
5. Pill organizer with water bottle
If you find this helpful, kindly share it with your friends.
