Gorgeous Gifts For Grandmothers, Godmothers, Great Aunts And Golden Girls

Recent research, by Professor Karen Manfinger of Purdue University, found that like Camembert, fine wine and certain male celebrities family relationships greatly improve with age. As adults many of us celebrate this closeness by spoiling our Grandmothers, Godmothers, Great Aunts etc. by sending them gifts and treats, payback time for when they treated us to an extra ice-cream or bag of sweets when we were the tiny "apple of their eye".

But what gifts to choose? Many of us (especially men) struggle with this, even more so when the lady in question is "past the first flush of youth"! In response to this problem Belinda Bull has set up Net2Nana, what one customer, described as "a fairy Godmother of a site, I feel confidant ordering from you knowing that you totally get what my Grandmother would like".

Sometimes it's easier to talk about what might not make a great gift. There are many great websites out there offering all sorts of "must-have" things but does Great Aunt Sarah living in Resthaven Home for Retired Gentlefolk really want/need that crazy gift you covet from Freddie'sFunFactory? No. Would she like a big bouquet of flowers? Possibly, but you might want to be a bit more original (plus they will only last about 24 hrs in her snug, centrally heated home). Chocolates/ Wine - her Doctor would probably say no thank-you! And certainly no ornaments, dear Great Aunt Sarah has just downsized and has barely got room for the things she does want to keep from the last 75 yrs!

So what might she enjoy? Well it probably won't come as a massive surprise to say "just the same things that ladies of 25, 35, 45, 55 yrs of age enjoy". Things that make them feel special and glamorous, but with a few extra considerations. Necklaces and bracelets mustn't have fiddly clasps that involve asking help to do up. Check she has pierced ears before buying earrings - many older ladies prefer clip-ons. Clothes should be cut to fit a mature figure and older ladies do like pockets, they should also be easy-care and machine washable. Bags - no tiny little fashion purses please, a bag that will hold a newspaper, spectacles, knitting etc. but still be lightweight would be very welcomed.

For a few lovely ideas why not visit a site dedicated to mums, nanas and grandmas. Belinda from Net2Nana says, "We've put together a site dedicated to suitable gifts for golden girls. Each product has unique features that make them ideal for our ladies. For example necklaces that fasten magnetically or go straight over the head eliminating the need for fiddly clasps and beautiful bags ideal for mature "ladies who lunch". At the click of a mouse the gift can be gorgeously gift wrapped, promptly dispatched and we can even include a hand written message". The site is live, a pleasure to browse and easy to use.

With National Grandparent's Day coming up on Sunday 3rd October there really is no better time to spoil your special senior relative.
