My grandmother will be 86, I need some suggestions about a gift.?

When my Grandmother grew older, our whole family would buy her toiletries, soap, her lotions, her brand of tissues, her type of socks (stockings), paper towels, laundry soap, napkins, etc. It would be in a care box along with a special card & some fresh flowers. If you know her favorite yard flower then get those. Just pick them & wrap them up.

My Grandma loved Irises & Peonies. What she most loved was wildflower bouquets because it brought the country back to her after she had to move in town. She liked the boughten arrangements too but not as much. Potted tulips were her favorite when in season. She'd plant them right outside her door.

If your Grandma still has a small yard, maybe a small yard ornament would be nice?

Hope this helps you!

Happy Birthday to your Grandma!:-)

A beautiful hand made shawl she can wrap herself in and let her know when she does she is holding all the family in the shawl.

Yes scapbooking is good if she would understand what in it.

I use to love Listening to my aunt who passed away a couple of years ago at age 98,she had a bright and clear memory.

I went to visit her home town and she asked for photos,my camera battery ran out as I went to take a shot of the school she went to as its still going today amazing.

Her eyes really lit up I'm sure when she closed her eyes she could see most of her life as a child, we all tried so hard to get her to write it down but she never got around to it sad we all think!!!

You didn't say if your gran was in a nursing home???

If the weather is nice go and have a huge family reunion picnic that way everyone gets to see her as you never know how long she has and please bless each year you have her.

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!!!

I would say spend a lot of tym with her many people neglect people when they reach their old age this is when they need most support, love and attention.

The gift, hhm i can't think of anything more lovely than a photo album of pics of the whole family, sitting round the fire and laughing at how you all have grown!

A photo album with pictures from her childhood until now may be nice, with funny, sweet or special comments by each one stuff that is specific to her and her family. Maybe it will even help with her memory. But if it doesn't, it's still a nice idea I think, to look at your past and to see your history.

I hope that this helps.

have you ever regarded into the Willow Tree figures, you will locate them at any Halmark shop. there is an somewhat lovable one that has a grandmother conserving a new child. they vary in fee 15-30+ . blame my prego hormomes yet i constantly get all weepy

My husband's grandma loved this, a porcelain doll on a swing. It reminded her of her childhood, it could hang in her room where she could look at it and give her some enjoyment. Maybe your grandma would like something like this too:

how about this......................

because she cant remember much how about getting some photos of her and put them in a frame. (from when she was a baby to how she looks now).......... or you could take her out to lunch with the how family (your family and ur brother/sisters family e.t.c. so she can see her granchildren etc and take pictures of her and family on the day. Then get the photos developed and put them in a frame so she can hang on her wall and look at. this will remind her of the special day she had with her family!

A photo album of her with family would be nice. Include your personal stories of times with her.

i had this prob with my grandad, and someone suggested making a special book with old photos of you, and of you and your grandma together etc, and write some of your memories of things you have done together, etc in it. my grandad loved it, and my grandma did too. its especially nice if her memory isnt too good as she might remember some things you say? I just bought a nice plain notebook with natural paper in it, and it looked fab!

Why not buy her a local history book showing it how it was when she was a girl.
