Our nanas are so special to all of us. We all remember how much they spoiled us as kids and their famous recipes remain popular with us all our lives. Our Nanas are responsible for making our parents the people they are today and when your nana’s special birthday comes round show her how much you care. It is very easy to fall back on the old reliable such as a box of chocolate, matching tea towels or some Yardley perfume and she will no doubt accept these gifts graciously but being honest not only are they boring but predictable. Don’t our nanas deserve better? Of course they do which is why this year it’s time to show your nana how special she really is.
Some of the most popular gifts for her (and him) nowadays are personalised gifts. Pretty much anything you can think of can be personalised and it takes minimal effort. Something bearing the recipient’s name or an affectionate message will mean so much more than a standard generic gift.
For a nana who is a whizz in the kitchen why not buy her a personalised apron. This can bear her own name on the front or a catchy title such as “Glamorous Granny.” It can also be accompanied by matching oven gloves or tea towels bearing the same text which she will love.
If it is a big birthday then why not splash out on a photo book. These high quality and glossy books can be printed chock-a-block with family photos from over the years and even cheeky references to her youth. You can collect images on bands or musicians she may have liked in her youth or famous old film stars. Perhaps she has a favourite poem? Anything can be printed in these books and they can be made as big or small as you wish making them the perfect gifts for any occasion.
If you like the photo theme but can’t quite afford a photo book then why not select a beautiful family photo and present it to your nana in a personalised photo frame engrave with a message of your choice. You can be sure this gift will take pride of place on her mantelpiece forever.
If the kids want to get something for good old great-grandma, then there are plenty of personalised gifts suitable for piggy bank budgets. They could put their photo in a paperweight, snow globe or key ring and Nana will love the sentiment and yet another opportunity to display her family proudly.
If you wish to purchase some novelty gifts, retro sweets are sure to go down a treat. You nana will just love reminiscing on her childhood whilst rifling through a hamper full of memorable goodies. For an injection of humour why not purchase an inflatable Zimmer frame or walking stick. Gifts like these will get the whole family laughing including dear Nana!
When it comes to your nana the most important thing is to spend time with her. Nothing will please her more than to have all her family around her on her special day so throw your nana a party, give her a break from the kitchen and wow her with the personalised gifts for her she is bound to adore.
