If you asked grandparents what they would like for Grandparent's Day's, the answer you would hear most is "A Vist".  Spending time with your grandma and grandpa is the best gift you could give them.  But if they live far away, a heartfelt gift along with a message of love would also warm their hearts.

Here are some more Grandparent's Day gifts:

1. A Handmade Gift - Have children make a homemade card or poem for their grandparents.  Including pictures makes it even more special.  If you're an adult grandchild, you could make them a no-sew fleece project like a blanket, scarf, or pillow.  Anything you made yourself will be special to your grandparents.

2. A Photo Book - Companies like Snapfish and Shutterfly make scrapbooking easy!  Just upload your favorite photos, then pick fun backgrounds and add your own text.  A photo book with current photos, or one with past photos of family is a great gift for grandparents.

3. Classic DVD's - What TV show did your grandparent enjoy watching?  Many classic TV shows are now available on DVD, and are fun watching all over again!

4. Fresh Baked Cookies - Grandparents are known for having goodies on hand for the grandkids!  How about getting them a basket of goodies just for them?  At Holiday Gifts & Gift Baskets we carry a variety of delicious treats from cookies to snacks packagaged in "Happy Grandparent's Day" containers, like the ones shown below.

The History of Memorial Day:

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Memorial Day was first observed on May 30th 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead.

At Holiday Gifts & Gift Baskets we offer a variety of patriotic and Indepence Day gifts to thank our Military men and women.  Choose from red, white  and blue cookie bouquets, snack baskets and more!
