A Fun Grandparents Day Gift Idea

When Is Grandparents Day? 

In 2024, Grandparents Day falls on Sunday, September 8th. This special day is set aside to honor and celebrate the important role grandparents play in our lives, offering a perfect opportunity to show your appreciation with a thoughtful gift.

What Is Grandparents Day?

Grandparents Day is a relatively recent addition to the calendar, with its origins dating back to the late 1970s. The day was established thanks to the efforts of Marian McQuade, a West Virginia woman who wanted to encourage families to recognize the wisdom and heritage that grandparents bring to their families.

In 1978, President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. The day is meant not only to honor grandparents but also to give them a chance to show love for their children's children. It’s a day to help children become aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.
