National Grandparents Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day in the United States. It’s a special day to honor and celebrate our grandparents. This day is not just about recognizing the contributions of our grandparents but also about making them feel loved and appreciated. Here’s a guide on making this day extra special for your grandparents.
Spend Quality Time with Them
Spending quality time with the people we love the most makes life special. It makes sense to create a holiday for grandparents. One way to spend that day is by watching their favorite movies together. Sure, they may be good old-fashioned technicolored movies, but honestly, there is something mystical about them that you don’t get in today’s movies.
However, if movies aren’t your thing, why not learn something about your family history and simply sit and listen to the stories of your grandparents? You might find out some cool and interesting facts that you never knew about your grandparents. This would make them feel special and strengthen your bond with them.
Help Them with Technology
In this digital age, help your grandparents navigate the world of technology. Teach them to use social media, video call their friends, or shop online. It’s a useful skill that they would appreciate. However, if your grandparents have Medicaid, there’s good news. Your grandparents automatically qualify for a Whoop tablet.
Whoop Connect has partnered with the ACP, so qualifying households can afford a premium Android tablet. Through their Medicaid coverage, your grandparents can apply with Whoop Connects secure application process and get a tablet for the low cost of a one-time payment of $11. They would get a tablet with free data, talk, and text. A new tablet would be a great way to spend on National Grandparents Day.
Create a Photobook or Family Tree
Camera’s have been around for many years, and I can bet that your grandparents have taken their fair share of photos of you and your other family. A photo book filled with family pictures will have many nostalgic memories you and your grandparents can enjoy together. You could also construct a family tree. This activity can be a great way to reminisce about the good old days and share stories about different family members.
Cook Their Favorite Meal
If your grandparents have a favorite dish that they love, surprise them by cooking it. It would be a thoughtful gesture that they would appreciate very much. If you don’t know how to cook, you could order your favorite meal from a restaurant. But, in today’s world, with the abundance of cookbooks and YouTube, there should be no reason why you can’t learn quickly. Or better yet, why not have your grandparents show you how to cook their favorite meal? It might mean they will have to divulge their secret recipe, but who better pass it down to their favorite grandchild?
Take Them for a Day Out
Plan a day out at their favorite spot. It could be a park, a museum, or even a nearby city they love. The change of scenery and the adventure will surely make them happy. Grandparents love adventures; best of all, the adventure doesn’t have to be a crazy, exciting outing. It could simply be going out to lunch or buying them something nice. You don’t need to plan anything extravagant, the simpler, the better.
Conclusion
Remember, the aim is to make your grandparents feel loved and cherished. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as it comes from the heart. After all, National Grandparents Day is about celebrating the unique and special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. If your grandparents have Medicaid and want an Android tablet with free talk, text, and data, we strongly encourage them to apply. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s only a one-time payment of $11. !
