Grandparents are much-valued members of any family and are often an important part of a child’s upbringing. If you’re looking for a great way to show appreciation to your parents for their long-term help then why not surprise them with a holiday or short break.
Booking a holiday for your parents will show how much you value their efforts, and this is a gift that can be given at any time throughout the year.
If this is to be a surprise gift then start off by undertaking a little subtle research as to the holiday they’d most like to take. It shouldn’t be too hard to find out and you can watch some travel shows together and slip in a few inquiries as to their ideal destination. There are a variety of options available including short cruises throughout Europe, activity breaks and group touring holidays for older travelers. The surprise holiday will be unexpected and appreciated, and a little research will ensure they get the most from this gift.
Sun and sea
A cruise is of course one of the most popular holidays for seniors and one of the major benefits is that it’s a stress-free option. On-board meals, social activities, shore excursions and nightly entertainment are all included in the price. A wealth of destinations is available including long-weekend mini-cruises to sunshine destinations such as the Canary Islands or the beautiful UK island of Guernsey, just off the French coast. There are also voyages that include stops at numerous cities within one trip such as Amsterdam and Bruges on a Western Europe mini-cruise – two fascinating and atmospheric destinations.
Group holidays
An organised break with like-minded travelers is one of the best ways to meet new people while exploring some exciting destinations. Again, a group holiday is a stress-free option as everything is pre-planned by travel companies like Saga and a tour guide will be on hand throughout the trip. Sightseeing will also be arranged for the group although there will be plenty of time to simply stroll around alone as well as with others. This is a great option for seniors who would like to visit new countries but would also like the safety aspect that comes with being part of a group.
More holiday ideas
If your parents frequently mention a country or city that they’ve visited many years ago and would love to go back to then this makes your holiday choice a little easier. This could even be the same country they travelled to on honeymoon. If you’re slightly stuck then you can consider activities or hobbies that your parents enjoy and look for holiday companies that cater to these. This could be wine-tasting tours throughout Tuscany or a golf holiday in Spain or Portugal or even cycling through the idyllic French countryside during those warm summer months.
A holiday will make a superb gift and there’s no doubt that this will definitely be appreciated by grandparents. Part of the fun of this present will be researching the destinations as well as seeing the look of joy when you finally unveil this tremendous surprise.
