We're having a BBQ at our place for Father's Day and bringing over the FIL and relatives. We adults will be giving a gift to FIL but I'm wondering if my 2 year old should also get him something for Father's Day? In fact, on that line of thought, is there a grandfathers day?
My boys have always gotten thier grandfathers gifts for fathers day, just something little that they thought he would like. The same with mothers day grandma's get presents from the kids
There is an actual Grandparents Day ~ it will be September 11, 2011.
My kids always get/make their Grandparents cards and usually a small gift for Father's/Mother's Day.
My kids usually make cards/draw pictures for Grandpa on Father's Day and Grandma on Mother's Day too.
I'm not close (at all) to my fathers so my boys don't give them anything (but then, I think I'm very nice to send them a card and updated picture, myself). I think if you were actually going to see your dad on that day, they could make him a card because he's "a" father and we're celebrating fathers in general, yes? I phone both my grandfathers on father's day, but don't actually say "happy father's day" to them. I just make a point to talk to them and tell them I love them. We DO send little cards and simple gifts for grandparents days though.
yes there is a grandparent's day Sept 11 this year. I think we're going with that, though my mom always celebrated the grammas on mother's day and grampas on Father's day.
we give a gift from the family.
Yes we always get something for the grandparents (and great-grandparents) from the kids for mother's day and father's day. Usually just something small, like a framed picture, something they've made, a baseball cap, a plant.
My son always does.
Last year it was an astrolabe, this year it's a mug from the empire state building (he always picks out what he wants to give people... we've had a WIDE range of gifts go to my dad -and everyone else- from him).
