Gifts for Grandparents
“
I encourage my children to give their grandparents gifts on special occasions. I do not just buy the gifts and ask them to give to their grandparents. I ask them to pick the gifts themselves. I do it this way because I want them to get to know their grandparents better and really show their affection to them through their gifts.
For my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary, I bugged them into buying a gift for their grandparents already. They told me that they already got it covered. I didn’t believe them as I didn’t see them come home with a gift or anything.
Just the same, I kept my doubts to myself. Then came the big day. We were all surprised when they took out the projector and played a compilation of all of my parent’s pictures since their younger years. Everybody present were teary eyed. I am so proud at my children and at how they show appreciation and love to my parents.

Wall Decals for a Personalized Living Room
“
My sister and her family are going on a European holiday and she left me behind to be her house keeper, as in literally, keeping the house while they are away. I am surprise her and her kids by transforming the look of their living room with wall decals.
I am the expressionist in the family and I always like to personalize things. I practically enjoy getting my hands dirty with paint. I painted my apartment, saved the money I would have paid for a painter and bought myself same cool kitchen gadgets. I planned on transforming their white walls in the living room into something cool and creative. I’m choosing between a black and white or some splash of color.
They’ve got lots of dark wood furniture and I the first option would easily blend in. But then, I think the room could also use some color and some cherry blossoms will do fine. Needless to say, they will enjoy the new look for their living room.
