Diwali is the most auspicious of all the Indian festivals. It's celebrated with much pomp and pageantry each year. The celebration mark the end of the 14 year exile of Lord Rama and ever since he returned to Ayodhya on that dark Amavasya night, it has come to be celebrated as Diwali. Much like it happened then, people still illuminate their houses with ornate diyas, and pay their respects to Lord Rama and Goddess Lakshmi. |
Not much has changed over the centuries except that the festival, like all festival the world over, has become more commercial in nature. Diwali is now seen as a time to shop till you drop.
Gifts too have come to form an important part of the festivities. Yet it is always the sentiment behind the gift that matters the most. Our grandparents may be in the twilight of their lives but their wisdom adds years to our own lives and Diwali is a perfect way to show them how much you care. Here are some great ideas for gifts for grandparents.
Divinity Gifts For Grandparents
Most grandparents are pious and able to comprehend the relationship between consciousness and matter. It is for this reason that they are able to believe in and understand God. More than anything else, on this sacred festival, your grandparents are bound to love Divinity gifts. A small silver or gold idol of Lord Ganesha is like a good luck charm and will make a most appropriate gift for your grandparents as it conveys just the right message to them, that you will be there whenever they may need you and your feeling of gratitude at the same time.
Unique Gift For Grandparents
To make your grandparents feel extremely special, do something out of the ordinary for them. For instance, take them on a vacation to a nice resort at the seaside. Or event better put together s journal or a scrapbook which will take them for a walk down memory lane. Collect as many pictures as you can of then going back to when they were young and place them in chronological order ending the scrapbook with a family portrait. Add some humorous captions along the way to make it a bit light hearted. This unique gift will definitely be appreciated.
Sweets
Sweets are an appropriate gift for this occasion. Each year on Diwali sweetshops go into a frenzy in keeping with the festive season, so you are sure to find a wide variety of sweets to choose from. Instead of sticking to just one sweet you could have them prepare a platter, which contains little pieces of different kinds of sweets. Regardless of what you choose, it is sure to be a lip-smacking, special Diwali gift.
Gold or Silver Coins
In Indian Religious tradition, gold and silver coins play a rather important role. They adorn the 'Thali' used for 'Pooja' (prayer ritual) at almost every festival. Gifting a Gold or Silver coin is a sign of your wishes that the Goddess Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth) will bestow her blessings upon the benefactor of your generosity. And many a times these Gold or Silver Coins end up becoming family heirlooms as they are passed down from generation to generation. Definitely a great Diwali Gift for your grandparents.
