Father's Day is just around the corner! While we usually honor our fathers, it's important not to forget another important father-figure in our lives: our grandfathers.
They spoil us and love us while also guiding us in a way that's different from how our fathers do. So don't forget grandpa when you're planning for this special day.
Here are five ways you can show your grandfather that you love him and that he's an important father-figure in your life too.
Photo gifts – Grandfathers love to see photos of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Send him a mug with a recent photo of your family. Or, if you have a favorite picture with your grandfather from times past, consider using that picture. If grandpa doesn't drink coffee, there are numerous other photo gifts you can consider – key chains, magnets, coasters, etc. You can get creative with this one!
Something handmade – What's your grandfather's favorite treat? Maybe he really likes a certain kind of cookie or cupcake. Whatever it is, take the time to make it yourself if you know a thing or two about baking. If you're not a baker but have other creative abilities, there is literally no end to the number of things you can make for him, so put your thinking cap on!
A day of reminiscence –Spend a nice afternoon together and let grandpa take a trip down memory lane. Ask him to tell you stories about "the old days." You can even gather up your parent's baby pictures and ask him tell you stories about your parents when they were young. You may learn some things about your parents that you can later tease them about!
A family game night – Grandfathers look forward to opportunities to spend time with their family members, and one of the easiest ways to do this is to have a game night. Invite other friends and family to give your grandfather the chance to spend time with all of them. Focus on grandpa’s favorite games, but don’t hesitate to introduce some new ones. He may discover a new favorite!
Tandem Lane care packages – One of the most unique ways to celebrate grandpa on Father's Day this year is with a subscription to Tandem Lane's monthly care packages. Your grandfather will receive a different themed care package every month, personalized with pictures and notes from you. Tandem Lane will keep the love coming all year round!
Whatever you decide to do for your grandfather this Father's Day, make sure it's something that shows him just how much he means to you.
