Gift ideas for your grandmother
A grandmother is happiest with a vase of flowers that sits in her majlis where she sees it every day, chocolate and sweets she serves to her guests, or a perfume she has known for years. If you do not know your grandmother's taste well, on Haddiyah you handpick 2 to 8 gifts for her; she chooses one by WhatsApp link and sets her home and time in Riyadh and Jeddah, or someone in the house does it for her. She wants nothing and is delighted by anything that comes from the grandchildren. These gifts for mothers are grouped for a grandmother: Eid, a recovery after illness, and a gift from the grandchildren for no reason.
A vase for her majlis
Flowers for a grandmother mean a vase that sits in her majlis where she sees it every day, in calm colours and without a heavy scent. It comes arranged in its water; the household adds a little every couple of days. See flower vases.
Chocolate and sweets for her guests
A grandmother's house always has someone visiting, and a gift she serves to them pleases her twice: a box of chocolate, a tray of baklava, or petit fours. See chocolate and sweets, and choose the large size.
For Eid
A grandmother's Eid gift arrives the day before Eid: chocolate and sweets for the visitors, or a perfume she knows for Eid morning. If the grandchildren pool, a piece of jewelry that stays with her. See Eid gifts for mothers.
Get well after an illness
When a grandmother is unwell, the gift is light and needs no care: a small vase in pale colours beside her, or light sweets for her visitors. The card reads 'get well, Grandma' with the grandchildren's names. See get-well gifts for mothers.
From all the grandchildren
When the grandchildren pool for one gift, it grows: a large arrangement for her majlis, flowers with perfume, or a piece of jewelry on a big occasion. The card carries every name from the oldest to the youngest. See gifts for mothers.
Before you send
- If your grandmother does not use a phone, enter the mobile of your mother or aunt who lives with her, and they set the location for her.
- Choose the slot when she is home and rested, usually the morning. The link lets the household choose.
- Pool all the grandchildren for one gift and sign the card with every name. That card is the one she keeps.
- Strong scents do not suit everyone at her age. For perfume choose the edition you know she loves; for flowers, calm colours without a heavy scent.
