Gift flowers to grandparents
Our own parents often take on a richer role when we have children. What better way to show your love and gratitude than with a beautiful bouquet of flowers?
Flowers produce many positive effects for both the recipient and the giver. It's also scientifically proven that flowers can help older people reduce depressive moods, increase happiness, boost memory and promote social contacts. Plenty of reasons to get inspired by our three simple and fun gift ideas below for Grandparents' Day.
1. A colourful bouquet
A large and colourful bouquet will make Grandparents' Day an even bigger party! And the bouquet on display at home will ensure the recipient thinks fondly of you, the giver, whenever they see it. Whether you choose a grand bouquet like the one pictured or a smaller arrangement made of their favourite colourful flowers, it's sure to be a hit.
The Grandparents' Day bouquet above contains the following flowers: Rose, Larkspur, Agapanthus, Snapdragon, Lily, Cat's Tail, Orchid and Gladiolus.
2. A homemade flower vase
Would you rather give a homemade gift? Then roll up your sleeves (or co-opt your kids) and DIY this cheerfully-coloured flower vase. It's simple to make and the results and beautiful. Why not pop a small bouquet into it before giving it as a present? When the flowers have finished blooming, the vase can serve as an atmospheric tea light holder.
The bouquet in the first picture in this article contains Flox, Carnation, Rose and various types of Delphinium. The bouquet from the image above contains Flame lily, Rose and Gerbera.
3. A self-supporting vase for gerberas
This simple yet clever vase that supports each individual flower stem and stops it from dropping is a cheerful and kid-proof DIY. It's ideal for flowers such as gerberas and will display them in a unique, lovely way. You can of course also use other flowers, such as your grandparents' favourite flower.
