- If your recipient is a grandparent, including this in a magazine cover is a great idea. This can highlight why the kids love him/her, and what they do that makes the kids happy. For those who are good with the kids, this will make all of their efforts feel appreciated -- and hey, they may offer to babysit one night!
- With years of living under their belts, there are often a number of achievements that you can highlight on a magazine cover. Let’s say this person was an avid golfer or helps out the community through a non-profit organization. This is something that is surely worth highlighting, and can really make them smile. You can also include a photo of them in their golf gear or involved at one of these events if you want to make the whole cover one theme.
- Another idea is to just give flat out appreciation. Your elders love knowing that they’ve been able to have a positive impact on your life -- and it’s important to remind them of that every once in a while. These can be little tidbits of advice given throughout the years, or a famous quote you remember them saying. Whatever it is however, they’ll certainly appreciate the effort.
