Hello I’m looking for a nice Christmas gift for my husband’s grandmother She’s almost 90, has vision problems, and can’t walk well without her walker I wanted to give her a trip instead of a gift, as she enjoys spending time with my children her greatgrandchildren, but her disabilities make this time less inspiring Thank you
It often takes longer to get around with a walker And that probably means more opportunities to sit Eating lunch outdoors is often a good option A place with as few stairs as possible and wide sidewalks is a good choice You can bring coloring books or small puzzles for the children in case they get restless after eating a large meal Activities could include a pottery painting workshop for everyone, a playground with comfortable seating indoor or outdoor, or a visit to a museum or art gallery Perhaps you can borrow or rent a stroller for your visit
Invite her to lunch and chat for a while Or give her an audiobook or music in her favorite format
Cook a meal at her home and bring her fresh flowers so she can remember you all when you’re gone
Are there activities at home she might enjoy A gift basket for reading aloud A cozy blanket Delicious tea and snacks for her and the grandchildren Listen to an audiobook while you read aloud, or read something if you have time A picnic in the living room Again, snacks, maybe a s’moresmaking kit Etc Does she like good food You could invite her over for lunch or dinner Or host a nice dinner party at your home Hire a caterer or someone to plancook a special evening, depending on your budget
Does your mall have an indoor play area Why not take them to lunch and let them play while you chat and watch Or maybe you could have lunch with them and then go to the movies
I bought a pretty expensive towel warmer and now I’m worried he’ll think it’s stupid and never use it as he already has a dryer and could do that if he wanted to warm his towelblanket
But as someone who likes to be warm, I would love to receive one of these as a gift, so maybe your grandma would appreciate it
A lovely and unforgettable gift for your husband’s grandmother could be a cozy and unforgettable date night at home Plan a special family evening where she can spend time with her greatgrandchildren without having to leave the house Prepare a festive picnic at home, complete with soft blankets, her favorite food, and a hot chocolate corner Create a simple family photo album with pictures of the children or set up a digital photo frame preloaded with family memories If she enjoys music and stories, an audiobook subscription or a personalized playlist of her favorite songs could brighten her day Share my suggestions on christmaschat and discover even more personalized gift ideas
