1. Custom Photo Frame

A photo of the family in a frame can never go wrong. Choose the wooden frame that remains classic or choose the digital frame that can cycle through the memories.

Hint: Put a sweet message at the background of the picture frame.


2. Handwritten Letters or a Jar of 52 Reasons Why I love You

Old-school? Maybe. Powerful? Definitely.

Write down memories, silly occasions or messages of gratitude and put them in a tissue paper decorated jar. One message each new day = love a day.

Final Thoughts: It's the Love That Counts

It is not about the price tag at the end of the day but what is in the mind and heart of the recipient of the gift. A single cup of chai with a simple one line I love you can make your grandparents shine an entire week. Then why not get something that will symbolize your relationship and give them the gift they have been giving us all this time, a sense of being wanted.
