Grandma’s Hug Bag

Filed under: Grandparent Gifts, Poems: grandmother — Nana @ 12:36 pm

Grandma Hugs Plural Verse Tote BagDoes Grandma need a new tote bag to carry her goodies in when she goes to the store, gym, beach, or visiting her grandchildren?  Is Grandma a teacher going back to school? Then I know she’d love this Grandma’s Bag! I’m going back to school this week and will miss my grandchildren so very much! This bag would give me the warm fuzzies when I would need a hug until I see them again.

Here is the wonderful poem for Grandma on the front of the bag with an adorable huggable Teddy bear. Who could not love this?

A Million Hugs: Grandma’s Hug Bag

In this bag, we’ve placed a million hugs
They’re especially for you
So you can feel us snuggle you
Whenever you feel blue
Because even though we’d love to
We don’t see you everyday
So if you take a hug out of your bag
We’re never far away


Grandma Hugs Plural Verse Tote Bag

 Of course, we must have a Million Hugs Nana Tote Bag, too!

And another nice thing about this bag, the proceeds help to support A Million Hugs For a Million People and A Million Dollars Charity. Your purchase will change many lives.

Filed under: Grandparent Gifts, Poems: Grandfather, Poems: grandmother — Nana @ 11:48 am

Are you looking for a poem to show Grandpa or Grandma how much their grandchildren love going to their house for a visit? As a grandparent, I know how much it pleases me to know that our grandchildren enjoy visiting us. This framed poem for Grandpa or Grandma is a wonderful keepsake with a place for a photo of their grandchildren having fun with them at their house.                          Personalized Frame with Poem for Grandparents

Grandpa’s House

I love to go to grandpa’s house its always so much fun.
We always do the neatest things that Ive ever done.
Sometimes we go fishing and dig up our own worms.
Grandpa always baits my hook because they make me squirm.
When its time for me to go, I wish the day wouldnt end
Because one things for certain, Grandpa’s my best friend.

Grandma’s House

I love to go to grandma’s house she always makes it fun.
We do lots and lots of things that I have never done.
She give me special Grandma hugs and kisses on the cheek,
And when we play cards she doesnt even care if I peek.
When its time for me to go and for her to have a rest,
I always say, my Grandma is the best.
