To the village for grandfather - what to bring as a gift to grandfather and grandmother in the village. System-vector psychology. What to give to grandmother, or what will please the villagers

05.05.2019

Grandchildren love to visit their grandparents in the countryside. As a rule, the trip is planned for summer holidays. How much joy this visit brings - rural spaces, fresh air, delicious food the pleasure of interacting with animals. Adult grandchildren visit relatives less often. Only on vacation or holidays.

On every visit, I want to please the village relatives with some pleasant and useful gift.

Where to start choosing a gift?

Memories of grandparents are invariably associated with happy childhood. The desire to thank them, to show your gratitude, to do something useful for them is quite understandable. I would like to thank them for their care with a gift.

Think about what they do on a daily basis. Maybe they take care of the garden, plant flowers, ride a bike, go to the store, and so on;
Think about their hobbies. Perhaps they like to pick mushrooms, fish, sew, knit, embroider;
They should be restored to memory. taste preferences and habits. Find out what will really make them happy.

13 Gifts Suitable for Grandparents Living in the Country

Sophisticated, extravagant and exotic gifts are unlikely to please the elderly. The city present should be simple and understandable, have practical use. Remember, with age, people most of all appreciate the attention, care, comfortable life, tranquility and health.

1. Drawings

Younger grandchildren will unspeakably delight grandparents with their creativity. Children's drawings, set in frames, look like real paintings. They will successfully decorate the walls of the house.

You will get an interesting art gallery that tells about all family members, their hobbies and work, as well as what the children read and where they were.

2. Album with photos

Grandparents are keenly interested in the life of their grandchildren. Album illustrating important events from the life of grandchildren will bring pleasure to relatives.

Matinee in kindergarten, visits to the theater, a friend's birthday, an excursion - everything that was collected in a year in one album. You can make captions under each photo or write a whole story.

Then, on long winter evenings, there will be an opportunity to review this gift and proudly show it to the neighbors.

3. Video film

Grown up grandchildren often go on vacation to camps, go on excursions, travel around different countries. They're probably filming their trips.

Relatives will be happy to receive as a gift detailed video report on visiting all interesting places.

With age, old people often begin to worry about the back. Moreover, you have to work in the village all the time, there is always something to do near the house.

As a gift to grandparents, you can present a useful, warm, healing belt made of dog hair.

Native people will appreciate your concern for their health.

5. Dish for cake and pies

Grandmothers are famous culinary specialists, they love to pamper their dear guests with all sorts of goodies. They always have treats in store for their grandchildren.

Even the unexpected arrival of relatives will not catch the grandmother by surprise - there is probably jam, cookies or sweets in the cherished locker.

A beautiful ceramic dish is useful for traditional pies stuffed with potatoes, cabbage or jam.

Two pairs of warm woolen socks will not only please the elderly, but also warm them in the cold winter day. Especially if the granddaughter knits this present with her own hands, and even decorates it with a pattern.

7. Warm blanket

Elderly people tend to get cold often. A good warm blanket will come in handy. Wrapped in it, the old people will gratefully remember their caring grandchildren.

Can be donated warm blanket made by hand. For it, pieces of fur or squares knitted from multi-colored wool are used. All elements are sewn together, and an original, warming product is obtained.

8. A set of tools for the garden and vegetable garden

Village life is inextricably linked with the garden. It must be dug up, planted, cared for plantings.

But how nice it is to eat tomatoes grown by grandfather and crunch grandmother's cucumbers in winter. A quality set of tools will always come in handy on the farm.

I am especially pleased with the help of my grandson, who will dig up the beds in the spring or weed them in the summer.

An indispensable thing for rural life are rubber boots. Take care of your loved ones, give them good, rubber shoes.

IN autumn bad weather, during summer rains and in the spring storm they will protect the feet of grandparents from getting wet.

How interesting it was to go fishing with grandfather at dawn, and in the afternoon to eat fish soup prepared from the morning catch. Grandma is a big ear specialist.

Please grandfather with a new fishing rod, respect his hobby. He will gratefully accept this gift.

Unusual gizmos are very attractive. Fill grandmother's everyday life with a holiday, give her a wicker basket. Such as are often mentioned in folk tales.

WITH beautiful basket it is much more pleasant to walk on mushrooms or berries.

Made from natural vines, it will not only last a very long time, but also decorate the interior of any home.

12. Slippers for the house

Home shoes have always been valued by the villagers. Both grandmother and grandfather work daily in the garden and garden.

In the evening, they want to change their shoes into something light, comfortable, cozy and preferably warm. Felt slippers are perfect as a gift self made.

They will give pleasure to the tired legs of the elderly.

Give an Orenburg downy shawl ....

18-11-2008, 15:25

give chickens and feed for them (or whatever they peck), well, no one refuses a good shawl

18-11-2008, 15:26

A beautiful scarf or a downy shawl, warm homemade shoes, multi-colored Ikeev ears, for the garden - seeds in a set, a brood of chickens, an incubator, medicinal tincture, perfume, but you can think of a lot of things :)

18-11-2008, 15:27

Beautiful bath set

18-11-2008, 15:27

There are shawls in the bins, they get them as they wear out :)

And the chickens are a thought, by the way.
This summer she had 15 pieces in the spring, so during the summer the hawk dragged 6 pieces.
I'm writing down.

18-11-2008, 15:28

Slow down, please, I don’t have time to write down :)

18-11-2008, 15:29

If flowers grow on the windowsills, give a flower. The golden mustache will also go with a bang if she hasn’t started it herself yet.

18-11-2008, 15:29

I would also buy indautok, they are also easy to care for :)

18-11-2008, 15:30

write, write: hand cream, face cream, some kind of anti-osteochandrosis cream, well, joint cream, pressure measuring device.: fifa:

Chickens are usually easy to find in the spring, but now I don’t know where to find them.

Pillows, blankets, bedspreads - well, if the warehouse is already, then cross it out :))

18-11-2008, 15:34

parade day off tea-set, they wrote about shoes, maybe a membrane one, an activator-type washer (baby, etc.), something for a cultivator garden, for example, I don’t know what kind of animal, but my mother-in-law needs it :-).

18-11-2008, 15:34

some kind of seedlings, but I don’t know if they are planting before winter or not - it’s easier with my granny, in May it’s jam day. if a believer - a large and beautiful icon, any other church utensils - candles there, a crucifix, a hanging lamp for candles.

18-11-2008, 15:34

We gave our grandmother: high woolen socks (they sell them near the metro), a flannel dressing gown, a flannel jacket, soft sheepskin slippers, a vest (like fur, they also sell them near the metro and in the markets). Grandma is 85 years old

Old Wallet

18-11-2008, 15:35

finally buy a truck of firewood :) or cellular telephone if there is a connection.
+ 1 only burn firewood according to the size of the stove, but just how, poo and lay, paint the house with it,

18-11-2008, 15:37

She knits her own socks in winter.

18-11-2008, 15:38

1 only burn firewood according to the size of the stove, but just how, pokoot and lay, paint the house with it,

Firewood immediately chopped can be bought like. paint the house better in summer, IMHO. in addition to firewood in the villages, hay is also bought in carts, and poultry feed in bags. so the choice of gifts is simply huge :)

18-11-2008, 15:39

She knits her own socks in winter.

How much is your gift? ;)

18-11-2008, 15:40

Firewood is missing. Grandmother considers the purchase of firewood - money down the drain, or rather into the furnace. The forest is all around. :)
If you'll be patient, I'll write how it's done.

Maybe she drowns with coal?: 016:

18-11-2008, 15:47

And what kind of livestock? Well, if there is a farm, then giving her a goat, or a cow, a piglet, again, will not be superfluous. Last but not least, rabbit. In general, the idea is clear

18-11-2008, 15:47

I call chopping wood the Masochistic Ballet.
In winter, because it’s impossible in summer - foresters and other people walk through the forest, lay it down, grandmother rushes into the nearest forest and cuts down several non-thin trees (we tried it ourselves), Then she cuts these trees into logs and branches. Then on a sled in the ass in the snow, she drags these logs and branches (the word lucky does not fit in any way) to the house, where she hides in a secluded corner of the yard. This was the first part of the Masochistic ballet.
Part Two Usually my husband and her son come in May, and together with him they cut these branches and logs into logs. After this procedure, the husband comes home 2 times thinner.
Part three. My son arrives in the summer, i.e. grandson, and splits all this stuff for firewood. Since he is already so thin, he comes home invisible :)
Part four, abusive. I dedicate one week of my vacation to my mother-in-law. This is expressed in the fact that I put this firewood in a barn. There is firewood in this shed that will last for 5 years exactly. Therefore, I stack this damn firewood, swearing terribly. And the mother-in-law, finishing the logs that have not yet been sawn, scares me with terrible frosts, and then she will burn it all in one winter.

Buying firewood is considered bad manners.

18-11-2008, 15:49

can she heat coal?:016:

After all, they wrote "FOREST - all around" :)) or you are an ecologist and have no idea how it is to cut down a forest in modern world? :))

On this topic. here we also have an old grandmother already, for the last anniversary (85 years: 010: God bless her still health ttt) well, somehow it happened, she gave her perfume. decent, let's say. and lo and behold - how glad she was, guys! we are all women, regardless of age: fifa: vooot. but this is of course the lyrics, so, not a gift, but a pleasant addition to it, but at the expense of a serious one, you need to think more: 016:

18-11-2008, 15:49

Grandma is on fire....

18-11-2008, 15:50

No, no, living creatures disappear, it's all sold.
firstly, her strength is not enough, her health remained in a difficult youth.
And secondly, they need HAY.
It must be prepared! Who? Me, my husband and my kids :)

18-11-2008, 15:51

mobile phone!!:019:
if he knows how to handle DVD, then even more so with a mobile phone .. village gossip will call you: 065::))

18-11-2008, 15:52

But how is her vision? Maybe you need to upgrade your glasses, it seems to be expensive ...

18-11-2008, 15:56

18-11-2008, 15:57

aha and I perfume offered.
all grannies love perfume, and any fragrance is a complex from Soviet times, when Red Moscow was the only feminine fragrance was not to be obtained. Ours, especially, was always happy with this fragrance :)

18-11-2008, 15:58

There is a mobile phone, they just updated it for the last DR.
Glasses also forced to buy in the fall.
Washers 2 pieces of the type Baby in the bins + this small round one - erases by hand, it saves felts, it protects the machines, I don’t understand, there is also 1 more refrigerator (the old one doesn’t let me throw it away - it works the same)

People keep writing!

I wrote down a lot of things. Even spirits. :)

18-11-2008, 15:59

chickens are bought in the spring, not for the winter. Cut wood? Do you consider this a gift? In my opinion, this is not a gift, but a duty to help granny. Damn the impression that no one was in the village.

Yes it is very nice gift imagine - a truck of sawn firewood arrives, you unload it and put it in a pallet, beauty - grandmother and Masochistic ballet do not need to dance.

18-11-2008, 16:00

Nothing, nothing, in the spring she has a DR, if she has OK health (TTT) - maybe that’s just the thing.

18-11-2008, 16:01

a set of clay pots, bake in the oven. Yummy.

18-11-2008, 16:02

Nothing, nothing, in the spring she has a DR, if she has OK health (TTT) - maybe that’s just the thing.

Grandmothers also love gold, crystal again can be in price, carpets, new curtains on the windows!: 016:

18-11-2008, 16:02

Uh, I don’t name the site, but these are real proposals from a "holiday-arranging" organization :))

18-11-2008, 16:02

18-11-2008, 16:04

Bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin what you can’t dig up in the internet! afftor sorry for the flood, but I haven’t laughed for so long, maybe someone else will like it: 023:

"Surely your grandmother has a hobby, which is most likely related to needlework. If so, then you can make a few unusual gift grandmother - to present a certificate for a course in needlework. It can be leather processing, creation knitwear, knitting, drawing patterns on fabric, etc.

If your grandmother, despite her age, carefully monitors her appearance, loves healing and rejuvenating treatments, give her a massage or spa treatments. Honey massage in a beautiful salon unique feeling comfort and ease. Grandmother will surely like such a gift, because after the procedures she will feel cheerful, fresh and rejuvenated!

With age, a person becomes more and more interested in questions of the meaning of life, being, philosophy in general, begins to get involved Eastern wisdom. the perfect gift not only for grandmother, but also a gift for grandfather can be a yoga course.

Great pleasure for the elderly is delivered by books, calendars, dedicated to health and longevity. present close person unusual calendar.

Treat grandpa or grandma with something sweet. But not with a standard box of chocolates, but with a unique chocolate fountain! Grandma's birthday will be unforgettable, because the chocolate fountain is not only an amazingly delicious swirling Belgian chocolate, but also a spectacular sight that the birthday girl (or birthday boy) and guests, especially children, will surely enjoy!

Enough mockery:))

18-11-2008, 16:04

TV!

18-11-2008, 16:05

offer another manure cart. :(

Oh, do not believe the grandmothers are different! they understand manure better than ours and may not be considered shameful if it is very necessary, but they themselves cannot allow it, the main thing is that this manure should be scattered across the field, and not lie in a mountain. :fifa:

18-11-2008, 16:05

yes, this is a very nice gift, imagine - a truck of sawn firewood arrives, you unload it and put it in a pallet, beauty - grandmother and Masochistic ballet do not need to dance.

You do not understand:) All the joy lies in this - in this mazobalet! that's what your grandmother is, be proud! She will cry for this truck at night and count how much it costs, i.e. on the contrary, first count, and then cry. And then, as it is customary to put it here, to take it out to Moscow - why drain money into the furnace when the forest is all around. :)) Firewood definitely disappears.

18-11-2008, 16:06

People keep writing! I wrote down a lot of things. Even spirits. :)

Well, why so immediately "even" ... :(

18-11-2008, 16:06

collect old photos and design a photo album, ours had a lot of photos, but all of them were inserted between the pages of the albums just like that without registration.

18-11-2008, 16:08

Well, well, well, cross out and think further: 020:

18-11-2008, 16:08

uh, I don’t name the site, but these are real proposals from the “holiday-arranging” organization
Well, for urban grannies, maybe quite.
But our grandmother is deeply rural.

18-11-2008, 16:09

Do you need a well pump? some kind of tank? what to burn for a greenhouse? dishes again can often be pricked.

18-11-2008, 16:09

listen. and what was interesting about my grandmother in her youth? Well, is grandma nostalgic for something?

Well, for example, "if only in my youth ... - damn it, I don't know .... well, let it be - the singer was such and such, oh, what a handsome man and what songs oyoyoy" voooooot you can look for his records and gramophone :))

18-11-2008, 16:10

18-11-2008, 16:11

Something came to mind: give great-grandchildren! ;)
you scare me:001:
It’s too early for us :). the granddaughter is small for these things, let the granddaughter learn at least.
And then they will make great-granddaughters - but who will raise them? :)

18-11-2008, 16:12

The pump could be upgraded. Yes.

18-11-2008, 16:12

Oh sorry. I just read that your husband is her grandson and he is her son. sorry:091::091::091:

18-11-2008, 16:15

18-11-2008, 16:16

massage chair, but it's kind of expensive

18-11-2008, 16:17

Armchair... armchair... what is it like? get in the car?
fit into a gazelle, but not into a passenger car
in general, a good chair is my dream for old age

18-11-2008, 16:21

in general the most main gift this is your attention to it:) come to visit more often.

18-11-2008, 16:23

Or maybe such an automobile cape on a massage seat?
It is interesting to put it on an ordinary chair (there is such a thing)?
Or does it run on the cigarette lighter?

18-11-2008, 16:24

We have mom's sister lives in the village, on the DR we bought her a bread machine. Mom bought her warm fur slippers + a blanket in Ikea.

18-11-2008, 16:24

Yes, in general, it’s normal to visit, I even think too often, my husband meets the second New Year there., even the third. Somehow a stupid idea came to my mind to meet New Year in the village (no to keep silent), I essno brought it to life. The children and my husband liked it. But it’s not very good for me, after all, it’s not summer, the amenities are on the street. Now they take turns with dad on new year holidays they go there. And I stay here on the farm.
I read your post and remembered "Winter in Prostokvashino" :))

18-11-2008, 16:25

Armchair... armchair... what is it like? get in the car?

Rocking chair! like grandmother Boniface!:080:

catapusechka

18-11-2008, 16:25

What is the relationship with icons?

Matilda Jabowski

18-11-2008, 16:26

I read your post and remembered "Vacations in Prostokvashino" :))
Maybe give granny a photo gun?

Then he will run after the hares, Schaub give a photo (c)

18-11-2008, 16:27

Yes, in general, it’s normal to go to visit, I even think too often, my husband meets the second New Year there., even the third. embodied life. The children and my husband liked it. But it’s not very good for me, after all, it’s not summer, the amenities are on the street. Now they take turns with dad for the New Year holidays. And I stay here on the farm.

You don't understand anything! I now loved to meet my grandmother in the village of NG! beauty! I can’t even explain what exactly I like, it’s just that it’s closer to nature, and it doesn’t look like everyday life.
In general, all my most vivid childhood memories are connected with the village.

18-11-2008, 16:40

It turns out that these are the most real gifts for our grandmother:
chickens (I tend to grow almost chickens :))

warm house shoes
galoshes
perfume
medicinal tincture

Indians, I don’t understand this, you need to ask your husband
Rabbit..

tonometer
cultivator .... our grandmother herself is like a cultivator :)

pump
pots
photo album

upgrade the TV?

What I didn’t write, don’t be offended, please, my mother-in-law is a complex person. She has a lot of things, only she adds and adds everything. I don’t want to increase this warehouse.
enjoyed.

Thank you: flower: thank you: flower: thank you: flower:
What would I do without you? :support:

I'll show my husband, let him think too

18-11-2008, 16:53

We gave our grandmother a bed "Nuga-best", also such a massage one, not only grandmother, but also her neighbors forgot about sciatica and osteochondrosis. Of course, it costs a lot ... and at first she also scolded that the money was spent, but now she says thanks

18-11-2008, 16:55

Our mother's sister lives in the village, in the DR we bought her a bread machine.
listen, I think it's a great option :support:

18-11-2008, 16:57

listen, I think it's a great option :support:

If there is a village stove, then no other can even be compared with such a bread ... The bread machine is still created for us urban

18-11-2008, 17:10

This summer we rented a dacha near St. Petersburg, where the hostess is not exactly a granny, of course, but she runs the household ...

So she bought some kind of super-ladder in a construction store and was terribly glad about it, folded, some awful money cost like 7-8 thousand (I didn’t even know that ladders can cost so much)

And also some kind of lawn mower, I was also very pleased

18-11-2008, 17:11

Nougat-best.
Is it really possible to bring her to a village with almost no roads?
I'll go and read what it is.

At the expense of the bread machine - I doubt that the wiring will withstand. There, if there is too much voltage, a small substation burns down, then you can’t wait until it is repaired, the whole village will be “grateful” without electricity.

18-11-2008, 17:14

Nah, it’s not realistic for our grandmother to climb stairs. She is more and more on the bottom :)
a lawn mower - to be honest, I vaguely imagine its use, the grandmother will completely endure mosk.

18-11-2008, 17:21

I looked about the beds and massage chairs - for the village it's fantastic, firstly the price of course hoo, and secondly, the delivery will cost again hoo :) And again, I doubt the power grid.

18-11-2008, 19:07

Does she have a blood pressure monitor?

Scheffler

18-11-2008, 19:25

If grandma is friends with dvd, give her discs with films from her youth. Now everything can be found. Or order. On long winter evenings with neighbors, remember youth ...
So I would give an interactive photo frame to my village, upload a sea of \u200b\u200bphotos there, and let the granny have a new photo every day, but the budget does not allow me.

18-11-2008, 19:31

19-11-2008, 01:00

You can give a soft fluffy plaid on the bed. Grandmas love these. A classmate on the DR gave me a large Chinese plaid from a lawsuit. fur. I really didn't like this at first. And now with great pleasure I use it in the country. It is warm, pleasant to the touch, it is so cozy for them to hide for daytime sleep or just to lie down, read, and, most importantly, it can be washed. Now we give such blankets to our elderly friends and relatives, because. they often get cold. Everyone seems to be happy.

19-11-2008, 08:44

You can donate a lawn mower, how does it mow hay? Oblique? And here is the technique:ded::))

grilled chicken

19-11-2008, 09:23

donate an electric power station ... in case of a power outage .. this is for the new year ... and for the anniversary of the solarium to this power station ...

19-11-2008, 10:22

19-11-2008, 10:27

Listen.. if the amenities are on the street (my most terrible fear).. Can you give her a dry closet? There are such for giving, what would be put in the house. there is some kind of system - that all the waste is somehow pressed there and there is no smell and it is standing in the house .. it is warm again ... and then - fertilizers for the garden .. do not throw slippers !!!
And then how I will imagine at night in the snowdrifts with a lantern a trip out of need .. brrrrrrr ....

19-11-2008, 10:35

iPhone
:)) and what will she do with him?

Listen .. if the amenities are on the street (my worst fear) .. can I give her a dry closet? And then how I will imagine at night in the snowdrifts with a lantern a trip out of need .. brrrrrrr ....
This is my blue dream, I have cherished it since the year I met the new year in the village. But for some reason no one understands me - neither my husband nor my grandmother herself. But, I'm afraid it will stand as a bedside table, covered with a tablecloth: 005:

Does she have a blood pressure monitor?
Already on the list
If grandma is friends with dvd, give her discs with films from her youth. .This has already been provided. :)

We gave ours an electric meat grinder for our anniversary last year. Our grandmother was very pleased: Good luck and health to you and your mother-in-law!:flower:
Thank you.
I'll put it on the list. Then they remembered that she was talking about a juicer.

19-11-2008, 10:36

You can give a soft fluffy blanket on the bed. Grandmas love these. .

I already doubted several posts above. But I’ll check with my husband. There’s not a lawn, there’s a field. And not small grass, but powerful burdocks and all sorts of other tough plants.

Give an electric power station ... in case of a power outage .. this is for the new year ... and for the anniversary of the solarium to this power station ...
And what it looks like, I can’t imagine it at all: 005: Again pestering my husband :)

Listen, I myself don’t own it yet and I don’t know well what it is. Why does Grandma need it? explain please.

19-11-2008, 10:46

Update list :)
chickens (I tend to grow up almost chickens)
seeds (I will consult with her sister)
warm house shoes
galoshes
perfume
medicinal tincture
flower .. she has geraniums on every window, as the most tenacious
Indians, I don’t understand this, I need to ask my husband, in the same place where the rabbit is
Rabbit .. - the husband crossed out, one for pampering - the grandmother in the summer and so from the garden by night comes, there is no need to breed a bunch for meat and skins.
cosmetic, medicinal creams
tonometer
cultivator .... our grandmother herself is like a cultivator
icons, etc. - she has it and probably like it.
pump
pots
photo album or photo frame
massage chair, that's probably the thing you need after a day in the garden?
upgrade the TV?
+
plaid
dry closet
juicer/meat grinder
an electrical substation - I still don’t know what it is, but if it’s small and not very expensive, then maybe it’s a necessary thing. Or is it something that sometimes rumbles terribly at the stalls? Grandma might be scared.

Thank you for helping me think :)

And she may need a belt, she has a radiculitis one, she uses it often. 19-11-2008, 15:10

Maybe something for the house? A rug on the porch (such a brush, it costs 1.5) - a lot of dirt is dragged home from the garden ...
In the hallway a new rug, where all the shoes are ... New curtains ... ngu it's already more difficult, color, size ...

19-11-2008, 15:27

Small offtopic. here they said about movies from the time of youth, the bike was remembered (to remove the seriousness of the conversation):

A real life story told to me by a trustworthy person. The place is a deep village. The action takes place in a house in this very village.
Participating persons:
Grandson (a guy of 25 years old, just returned from earnings from Germany).
Grandmother grandson, (grumpy granny, not God's dandelion at all).
Grandfather of the grandson, (kind old man, very emotional nature)

Introduction. The grandson just returned from work in Germany, made a lot of money there, bought an apartment in the city, a car, got himself a girlfriend, etc. Bring gifts for everyone. Since the grandfather and grandmother raised the guy, while his parents gnawed at the granite of science at different universities, he decided to bring them a video recorder as a gift (hereinafter - a video recorder). By the way, this video recorder was presented to him, and he already had a DVD player at home. By a lucky or unfortunate accident (who cares), the guy tried out a video recorder at home, some kind of fairy tale or something like that, but then he had guests, and he completely forgot that the guests spent the night and looked at a couple of cassettes of completely unchaste content . So I brought my grandparents a device with a porno cassette inside.

Action:
He explains to his grandfather and grandmother what kind of overseas miracle he brought and why it is needed on a farm where there are chickens, geese, cows, a horse, etc. Then the war grandmother began to yell, waving her arms, they say, there is no time for them to breed mura here, to feed the beasts, and to chop firewood for grandfather, to mow hay and all that. But the guy spat on everything. After an introductory TTX course, he pressed the cherished PLAY button, and he himself went either to chop wood, or to help out with something else laborious in the household. He chop wood and waits for the grandmother to fly out of the house from the porch and yell at him, she has such a kind nature, that means. But silence. Neither grandfather nor grandmother appears. Half an hour passes, 40 minutes. Nobody. The guy chopped the wood, goes back to the house and sees Repin's painting "The Cult Campaign of the Pioneers to Watch a Porn Movie"
- Grandma, sitting on a low stool, a meter from the TV and, resting her chin on her fist, looks with tenderness at the screen, where some sailor enthusiastically fries some kind of blonde. And the granddaughter sighs, without turning her head to the side - "I have always had a weakness for sailors."
- grandfather, with a pipe in his teeth (the pipe has long gone out, but the grandfather puffs on it), looks at the same screen, does not notice his grandson at all. And here comes the apotheosis - the performers of the main porn roles are changing, on the screen there are already two negro sailors frying the same blonde.

Grandfather's cap flies up to the back of the head, the pipe describes an incredible trajectory, he joyfully slaps his knee with all his foolishness and yells:
- Come on, chocolate! Burn her, burn her! And, smiling happily, he turns to his grandson, purple with shame:
- Thank you, granddaughter, respected the old man.

Epilogue.
A couple of days later (after a collective viewing with all her old girlfriends), the granny could not stand it, went up to her grandson and asked: “So who did that girl marry there? Otherwise, I didn’t understand, the series is in German, but you know him.”

My grandmother also lives in a remote village. I have not been to her for 8 years, the last time I was a teenager and this summer I was puzzled by the same problem. I puzzled over gifts for her and for my grandfather for probably two weeks. I ended up buying her sewing machine(she had an old one and constantly tore the threads), even though she told me "yes, why is she mine, she has a mine" now she rejoices like a child. and my grandfather brought a chair, he had long dreamed of sitting in a chair, and not sitting in a chair in front of a TV set. And good luck in choosing a gift: support:: support:

Listen, I myself don’t own it yet and I don’t know well what it is. Why does Grandma need it? explain please.
I'm afraid that granny has no tyrnet and the computer is in trouble. And here
1. Large font for granny eyes
2. Schedule when goats are milked and chickens are fed.
3. You can record folk songs and
4. You can write on the LP while wearing glasses!

Among our contemporaries there are middle-aged city dwellers worthy of admiration - active, positive, sociable. At the age of 70-80, they go on sea cruises, hire tutors to master the PC, visit fitness centers. Their peers, who live in villages, also keep their body and spirit in good spirits: they move a lot in the air, do household chores, communicate with neighbors, and nurse their grandchildren. However, the difference between the first and second is obvious, and therefore you can hardly pick up common gifts for both.

Focus on current needs

An elderly woman who does not complain of pain in her legs is a rarity. Because of this problem, the village women often walk around their farmstead in slippers, and even go beyond it in slippers. Many are embarrassed by this, but what can you do: the feet are uncomfortable in other shoes. Picking up stylish slippers is now very easy. On sale there are patterned, soft, aesthetic. For a metropolis, these, perhaps, are not suitable, but walking in them along the village streets is quite decent.

Beautiful and practical

Rural women are pragmatic - in best sense words. In their household arsenal there are no useless things, so souvenirs and trinkets, even original ones, will go to the barn. Another thing is demanded and, moreover, attractive items. Among them are ornamented dishes pleasing to the eye.

Cups, saucers, tureens periodically beat at any housewife, and even more so at the one in advanced years. It is appropriate to buy multi-component sets: the grandmother will lose one plate, but will not be too upset, because others will remain in stock. And you have to be careful about drawing. Rustic coloring, painting in folk traditions- the best options.

Colorful and bright aprons, non-staining table textiles are a good addition to porcelain and ceramics.

Thoughtful care

Older people, as a rule, are wary of getting wet in the rain: arthritis will worsen, a cold will overcome, and the back will start to hurt. An umbrella helps in the city, but in the countryside it is hardly used, because it is difficult to feed chickens or milk a goat in the meadow while holding an umbrella. But a raincoat with a hood equipped with a visor will not interfere with all this and will save you from dampness and moisture. Great present!

Warmth, comfort, pleasant conversation

Without studying any guides to creating a country style, the owner of a village house nevertheless equips her home according to its canons: she uses wooden shutters, chintz curtains, etc. Such gifts can complement such an entourage:

fluffy bedside rug;
bedspread in patchwork technique;
quilted patchwork quilt;
sofa cushions and cushions under the lower back.

What to give the mother-in-law living in the village? She is over 60, retired, from the household and the house is not absent anywhere. Sometimes, as a part-time job, she organizes local weddings - she buys food, organizes cooking and stage-by-stage serving of food at the holiday. There are no interests in life - he doesn’t read, he doesn’t even watch TV very much. Is that only one thing - he likes to grow roses in the garden. Last time I gave her a beautiful knitted scarf, couldn't think of anything else. The gift was accepted without even a smile. I see her a couple of times a year, I want to impress with a gift. My husband gave her rather strange gifts: either he bought a few pigs so that she would fatten them, and then they ate them with the whole family, or he paid for the repair of the facade of the house in which she lives. What to give such a person? ks

Something useful, it is better to consult with your husband or find out from her.

1) Money in an envelope - very practical, for the city, for the village. Better in foreign currency - will not spend immediately. There will be a last resort, and you good word will remember looking at American presidents.
2) If there is no money, then give her an expensive teapot from Tefal made of stainless steel. She definitely won’t buy it herself - she’ll regret the money, but it’s so nice and every day she will remember you, warming up tea: “What a practical daughter-in-law I have! What a cool teapot I gave!”
3) A set of expensive knives. She definitely won't buy it. But be careful here ... someone has superstitions about knives ....
4) As a rule, the chairs there are dead. Update her chairs. It is also very practical, but you can not get it with preferences and design.
5) If it cooks, then the new minced meat ... I don’t remember what it’s called there ... from Bosh it will be accepted with enthusiasm. Very practical! ;)

Give her something to decorate her garden or just for home gardening. Can't say 100%, but I would.

But what if you give her secateurs, lawn mowers, scythes, axes, buckets, household tools, sheepskin coats, felt boots, a drill. Only not glamorous rubbish, but a normal working tool. than to sharpen knives, for example.

You did not write how the mother-in-law reacts to her husband's gifts? If they cause joy, it means that gifts of such a plan are really needed - practical ones. Dishes - good idea, but if you take something newfangled, you may not like it, maybe a person is used to his own, albeit old. Maybe give her something related to her hobby? My options: seedlings of new varieties of roses (and something else to this), a tea set with a pattern of roses, some kind of. watering system (irrigation).

Apparently all her interests are in the household and she appreciates practical gifts She will not appreciate things she does not need (even very beautiful and elegant ones), she will consider them a waste of money. Therefore, give something for the household, since she is cooking, then you can have something from the dishes - a good frying pan, a saucepan. I really liked to bake in dishes from Klotis. This is ceramics, expensive and very beautiful, you can safely bake in it, for example, meat or chicken in the oven. A lot of different dishes.http://polish-pottery.ru/. Maybe she appreciates gold chain? Consult with your husband.

Of course, the needs of a person living in the countryside are very different from those in the city. The husband is well aware of the needs of rural life. And, as I understand it, it is preferable to receive practical gifts there. But I think not only. Maybe she'll be happy good candy and tea (coffee is not needed). Out of competition beautiful tea service. It was chic at the time Soviet Union. And the older generation has love for these things in their blood. You can also buy a good frying pan, for example. Also indoor flowers (dracaena, tea rose, spathiphyllum). But I would still focus on sweets and service. These are the things that women like your mother-in-law love very much, but always spare money for it.
