Five Super-Easy Last Minute Christmas Gifts for Grandparents

Are you looking for the ideal gift for your grandparents this year - one that will tell them how much you appreciate everything they do for you, and that will bless them as much as they've blessed you this year?

Gift-giving for grandparents can be difficult. They usually have everything they need. Possibly, they live in a small home or condo and don't have room for another knick-knack that announces them as the world's greatest grandparent. Even though you know they'll love anything you give them, you would like it to be something that touches them in a meaningful way.

Here are some gifts I've given my grandparents over the years, when time and cash are in short supply.

1. Compile a scrapbook of their lives, or of a special event in their lives. Ask other family members for photos you can include. Older people will enjoy poring over the photos and the memories, and will think of you every time they do.

2. Do a little research and write down their life story. I did this for my Grandma one year, and she still talks about that gift every time I see her. She has also shared it with all her friends and other family members.

3. Give a gift certificate to your grandparent's favorite store, along with a promise of taking them on the shopping trip. If it's hard for them to get out, they may not like to ask for help, but they will appreciate the offer.

4. Invite your grandparent to a special Christmas tea, where they're the guest of honor. Have friends and family talk about their memories of times spent with your grandparent.

5. Just spend a day with them, doing things they enjoy. One day, my daughter and I visited my Grandma for a day of bread-baking. She still remembers that day fondly. Grandparents are often lonely and think their grandchildren are too busy to spend time with them. The gift of your time will be valued and remembered for a long time to come.
