With Mother's Day and Father's Day behind us, consumers are urged to look forward to the next holiday; Grandparent's day. It will be observed on September 9, 2007; the first Sunday after Labor Day.
The major element of the holiday is for families to get together and tell stories and reflect on past memories. Since the majority of grandchildren do not work, this is not a holiday known for gift giving but known for family togetherness.
That is why we recommend parents to teach their children how to make or buy a sensible gift for their grandparents. The older an individual gets, the less possessions they need. The analogy used by SensibleGiftIdeas.com "a BMW convertible means more to a 16 year old than to a 96 year old". So they recommend gifts that will include the whole family.
It is essential for grandparents to feel loved and needed by their children and grandchildren in their old age. Anything that comes from the heart and incorporates this feeling in them will be a success.
