How to congratulate a Happy New Year grandmother

To give attention and gifts for the New Year to those we love, has long been a pleasant tradition. But sometimes in our life there are small festive "problems", when it is difficult to decide what to give to this or that person. For example, how to congratulate a Happy New Year grandmother?

Gift from grandsons

Grandparents are usually elderly people, accustomed to certain things and the rhythm of life. And in most cases, with the way how to congratulate the grandmother on behalf of grandchildren on New Year's Eve, there are no problems - kids( with the help of parents) can make any festive souvenir with their own hands, starting from the symbol of the coming year and ending with the New Year's bauble.

Grandchildren and granddaughters of older age can make a bigger gift and more useful: knitted potholders and kitchen mitts, hot water bottles on the kettle and table napkins are from the girls;and paintings-drawings, crafts and wood burning - from boys. The most important thing in this case is to make a gift with the desire to please a loved one, as they say, from a pure heart.

Gifts from adults

Do not forget that adult sons and daughters also congratulate their grandparents. In this case, you can also create a gift yourself. Congratulate the New Year grandmother is easy, but we should not act on the principle of "just something to give", but with sense and meaning: try to make a family photo collage of many photos of all generations of the family( for example, draw a New Year tree on the sheet of paper, colorher and decorate her paws with photos, as toys).The disadvantage of such a gift is one - it is inconvenient to store( it is only suitable for hanging on a wall where photos can burn out).

Another version of the handmade gift is a photo album, in which family photos alternate with wishes to the grandmother, funny stories and impressions of grandsons' hands. Such a gift will keep a good mood for a grandmother or grandfather( or both) for many years.

The next option is a purchase gift. You can donate( and need) only necessary things: interesting books( grandmothers usually like romance novels printed in large print), a new phone with big buttons and letters, tickets for a favorite artist's concert( you should not give one ticket, even if you do not have a grandfather, after all the grandmother can go on performance with the girlfriend).But the acquisition as a gift of more large-scale equipment( including "kitchen helpers" and a satellite dish) is timed not for the New Year, but for Birthday( only after agreeing on its acquisition with the culprit of the celebration).

Distance

But how to congratulate a Happy New Year grandmother, if between you many tens or hundreds of kilometers? In this case, you will have to remember not only about phone calls and newfangled holiday SMS( first do not forget to teach your grandmother to read your messages sent to her on the phone), but also about such traditions of the "last century" as greeting cards. Postcards should be made by yourself( together with children) and sent to my grandmother in advance, so that they do not get "in the New Year's traffic jam" at the post office. Together with the postcard, you can send to your grandmother and some gift suitable for her hobbies( a set of threads for embroidery or knitting, seeds of rare flowers, etc.).

If the grandmother is at odds with the computer, congratulate her through Skype( not in lieu of the New Year's gift, but in addition to it).If your grandmother in your city has friends who she has not seen for a long time, you can organize a New Year's meeting( also through Skype).To do this, you have to go to visit your grandmother's friends with a laptop and ensure there is an Internet connection.

But whatever gift for the grandmother you did not choose, remember that on New Year's Eve, you must definitely give a piece of happiness and good mood.
