24 things you definitely need to do with your grandma

I really think grandpas and grandmas are the sweetest beings on earth. And of course, that has everything to do with my own little ones that I still get to have around me every day. Take my grandmas, for example. They are always cheerful, my most loyal fans, and walking sources of good old memories. You know, those memories that ooze love and that you want to keep as close to you as possible forever. Grandmas, you have them in all shapes and sizes, but they are all sweet. So here are 24 things you definitely need to do with your grandma. From petting alpacas and spooning advocaat to getting started with Skype and Spotify; let's call your grandma right away, okay?

1. To the alpaca farm or even better: having high tea with alpacas.
2. An extensive Snapchat session including Face Swap, testing the rabbit, and of course the face and voice changer.
3. Do the Dave. Go on vacation with your grandma.. Even if it's just a weekend in Paris with the Thalys.
4. Surprise her with a giant balloon, a bouquet of flowers, or a cake. Just because she is the sweetest and she should never feel lonely.
5. Together, have an uncontrollable fit of laughter where crying and stomach pain are just the warm-up.
6. It’s shop o’clock. Just a day of shopping with your grandma, how nice is that?
7. Craft a little box, let her favorite people put cards in it that she can pull out one by one whenever she feels a bit lonely or sad and read them again every day.
8. Looking at old photos. Of yourself, but maybe even more fun of your parents or grandma in mini format. Oh, and wedding photos... Just the thought of it gives me butterflies in my stomach.
9. Share the baby names you’ve thought of. Just because you don’t know when the time is right and you really want to share them with her.
10. Buy a piece of jewelry together. Think of it as a kind of ‘best friends forever’ necklace with a capital F for ‘forever’ and a layer of gold that won’t wear off.
11. Drive together to your grandma's childhood home, then plop down on a bench outside and share lots of memories together.
12. Manicure, pedicure, or who cares: get a perm together.
13. Collect different photos of yourself and your family and surprise her by sending them by mail. Bet she’ll have them framed on the wall next time?
14. Invite your grandma over for dinner at your place and make her favorite dish. If that’s not love...
15. Watch her favorite movie together.
16. Plan a casino night for grandma’s wild side of life.
17. Collect her favorite songs and surprise her with a Spotify playlist.
18. Organize a game night at her house. Rummikub, klaverjassen, and not to forget scrabble to the max it is!
19. Make a mountain of polaroid pictures together.
20. A night out. To a dinner show, the circus, or the musical. Bet it will be a night she’ll never forget?
21. Gossip with your grandma. About your dad, mom, that one crazy aunt, or even about her neighbor or your best friend. A juicy gossip is just the most fun every now and then.
22. Arrange a Skype session to see her lost family member or friend far away instead of just talking.
23. Get tipsy together. Bring on those advocaat shots.
24. Surprise her with a card. Bet that the ’Best Grandma Ever’ card will be proudly displayed on her nightstand next time?
