Grandparents want to give their grandchildren a good dose of history, the way things were, where they have been, seen and experienced. These are probably the best gifts that any grandparent can give a grandchild. Their words and time are priceless, and will stay with their grandchild their entire life and will be relived throughout generations as the stories continue to be passed down. However, what if you could accent those memories and experiences with something tangible to go along with each adventure you experienced. There are very creative, unique and amazing gifts you can give your grandchildren that will accent the adventures you had throughout your life.
You can go through you garage, basement, attic or wherever you kept the stuff you don't want any more...or didn't want at that time and you'd be sure to find a treasure trove of items that'll make great gifts for your grandchildren. Believe it or not they'd be happy to receive from you most old items; old photos, old newspapers, your old report cards, your old business cards, business reports, school correspondence...just about anything from your past would be new and exciting to them.

You can also go out and buy any number and types of unique, historic gifts. Depending on how old your grandchildren are you can still buy gifts that afford a view of your past. You could order a magazine or newspaper from the day you were born. That'd give them plenty of information about the time when you were born...and lived. You can buy them a piece of stock (one share) of an old time company representing your youth. IBM, Ford, and General Motors are just some examples.
Why not get a little creative and take a photo from your own baby album or graduation and put it on a stamp. Right a photo stamp that is legal USPS postage. That's a great gift and you can order it on the Internet.
You can give them a piece of land from every state you have ever visited. Right, give your grandchild the most creative, an absolutely great gift for grandchildren that will have them talking well into their golden years. Your grandchild can brag to all of their friends about owning land all across the United States. Okay, to ease your mind, I am not talking about buying acres of land that they can retire on. I am talking about almost the next best thing. You could buy a square inch of land in each of the states you have visited. Your grandchild can receive a deed to each piece of their property and mount them on the wall confirming their ownership. If given with a piece of history from you, each square inch of land brings a special meaning to your grandchild. It is like giving them a piece of you. By the way, they cannot build on their one square inch of land, and it holds zero investment potential, but they do not have to pay taxes on it, nor upkeep it either and the novelty of it all is absolutely a great gift for a grandchild.
It's important to perpetuate memories, lives, dreams and family history. So when you do think about that gift for a grandchild, keep in mind how much they want to know about grandma and grandpa's lives. They'll absorb as much as you can give them.
