Don’t Forget – Grandparents Day is Sunday, September 13th!
The Traveling Grandma!
Grandma and Grandpa are always willing to help baby-sit for the grandchildren whenever they’re in town. You’re really happy for them. They’ve worked hard all of their lives and deserve it, but that doesn’t mean you’re not a little bit jealous! So, surprise grandma with a new travel bag perfect for her sunscreen, sunglasses, and great book. Make it more of a “WOW!” by filling it with beautiful and exotic cymbidium orchids.
Grandpa’s Deserve Flowers Too!
Grandpa never look for any recognition, but give it to him anyway! I found this silver loving cup trophy at a church thrift shop. The engraving says that it is a trophy from a Pro-Am golf tournament in 1983 at Pebble Beach. Gramps may never get to play at Pebble Beach, but to you he’s the best Grandpa in the world as well as the best golfer! The “blue ribbon” is an image downloaded from the Internet and a customized message added in Photoshop.

left a previous post but somehow it never showed up! I love this idea of the travel bag with the orchids for grandmoms..Now that grandparents day is over it is great for so many other occassions( and also , Just because!).. it would be a great gift for travelling on Thanksgiving to give to that special someone, at Christmas, or Birthday, or a wonderful idea for anyone you know in the airlines…an attendant…just to tell her she is special. The only other thing I would add is you can now find those small foldable plastic vases… they have them in specialty travel shops. Tuck one of those inside and your recipient will automatically have a way to keep the flowers without worrying about how to keep them fresh!.
