Giving the Gift of Manners

Dec 9, 2021 |

a special feature from Kay & Leslie, founders of Grandparentslink

There’s no better time than the holiday season to help children learn a little bit more about manners! After all, life can be much more enjoyable with a little ‘please’ and ‘thank-you’. What better way than to give children their very own Thank-You Cards. Go ahead and let’s do this the old-fashion way. Purchase a cute box of cards for your grandkids to have on hand. Since manners are always in season, consider this a year-round gift of love.

Celebrating Moms Everywhere!

This Mother’s Day, we want to let you in on the sweetest gift idea that EVERY mother, daughter, friend, aunt, or even baker would want! Over the past year many of us have been exchanging recipes with our family and friends. Now it’s time to thank those closest to you. How about a custom engraved cutting board, sketched with their entire recipe written out, in their handwriting!? We were gifted one by our grandchildren, and it’s just a beautiful addition to our kitchen!

Masks are a must, so why not add some extra style…

Masks are a must, so why not add some extra style…

Jan 14, 2021 |

Masks are here to stay — at least for a long while. One of our favorite ways to wear a mask (and not lose it) is to wear a mask chain. Have you tried it? We have found two sites that make the chains… and the chains are made by KIDS. Plus, each company donates a portion of their proceeds to charity. How great is this! Take a look. You may want to order one – or more!

Make this gift your #1 choice!

What does “that holiday morning feeling” mean to you?

Remember that feeling when you were very young- the anticipation and excitement of unwrapping a holiday present? Ok, so it may have been a long time ago (!) but watching a grandchild experience that same event brings back all those wonderful memories that we hold so dear to our hearts. And, prior to the actual holidays, a grandparent can only imagine all those thoughts of excitement running through a child’s head- just thinking about presents, and possibly listening closely in hopes of hearing footsteps on the roof!

We all know how easy it is to spoil our little loved ones, but now and again we might go overboard with gift giving.
