Grandparents have an incredibly special place in the family. Not only do grandparents love their grandchildren freely and openly, they are also free to enjoy the children without having to worry about actually raising them – in most cases.

Grandparents have seen much of the world and lived through times their grandchildren can only dream of. For this reason, the perfect gift for grandparents to share with their grandchildren is the gift of a legacy.

A legacy can take many forms, but it boils down to something that can be passed down through the generations that holds memories, traditions and stories. To create a simple legacy, you might purchase a grandparent’s book, similar to a baby book, and start jotting down your earliest memories and important events you bore witness to.

Think of how fascinating it would be to know how your own grandparents did in school, what they learned, what their hobbies were and how their lives were in general. You are in the position to share this information with your own grandchildren and should – be it written down or recorded on a tape or CD.
