The secret of brilliant presents for parents and grandparents – presents that will really mean something and really please them, is the measure of how much effort you have put into them!

So – a present you have made yourself would be best. The more obvious the thought and effort involved the better it will please them.

It DOESN’T have to be expensive!

Cost is not it!

Thought and effort is!

Of course, if you are old enough to go to the shops by yourselves and you have some pocket money you have saved and you know exactly what your parent or grandparent would like – they will be very pleased that you thought enough about them to have made the effort to buy that present for them.

But as I said – its NOT the cost that’s important – it’s the thought and effort!
