Grandma's Day falls on 21 January, Grandad's Day - a day later, on 22 January. For many of us living in the UK these are days when a phone call to Poland is a must - and a card sent a week earlier makes Grandma's whole month. Here are ready-made wishes for both.
Touching wishes for Grandma
- Grandma, your hands made the best pierogi in the world, and your heart - the best childhood in the world. Thank you for both. Cheers!
- At your place it always smelled of cake and calm. I wish you, Grandma, that each of your days is as warm as you were to us.
- Grandma, you taught me more than many a school - patience, kindness and that there is a tea for everything. Health for many years!
- No matter how old I am - at Grandma's I will always be a child who needs feeding up. And I am very happy with that. I love you, Grandma!
- Thank you for every bedtime story, every secret kept and every “don't tell Mum, I'll sort it”. You are the treasure of our family.
- Grandma, although kilometres separate us, I feel your care in every conversation. I wish you health and I promise - we will come sooner than you think.
Funny wishes for Grandma
- Grandma, I wish you grandchildren who eat seconds without fussing. That is, ones like me! Cheers!
- To the best Grandma in the world I wish that the soap opera always ends before the News and that your blood pressure is that of a teenager!
- Grandma, your “eat just a little more” has raised more generations than many a book. I wish you the strength to keep feeding us for another hundred years!
- I wish you, Grandma, that the wool never tangles, the crosswords solve themselves and the neighbour always has worse tomatoes!
Touching wishes for Grandad
- Grandad, you taught me to fish, hammer nails and never give up. I carry those lessons with me every day. A hundred years in good health!
- To the world you are a pensioner - to me you are a man who can do everything. I wish you health and strength, Grandad, because the grandchildren still have questions.
- Grandad, your stories are the best history in the world - the real kind, from life. Keep telling them to us for many, many years.
- Thank you for all the hours together in the garage, at the allotment and fishing. With you even silence is wise. All the best, Grandad!
- Grandad, you are proof that real strength is calm, hard work and a good heart. May your health serve you as you serve us all.
- Although I live far away, every Sunday I miss our conversations. Good health, Grandad - and keep a place at the table for me.
Funny wishes for Grandad
- Grandad, I wish that the fish bite, your knees do not creak and the TV remote is always where you left it!
- To the best Grandad I wish uninterrupted naps, an allotment without moles and grandchildren who call more often. I will try - promise!
- Grandad, “like a normal grandad, only cooler” - that is about you. I wish that everyone finally appreciates it. We have known for ages!
- I wish you, Grandad, that no youngster ever beats you at chess and that every handyman learns from you!
From small grandchildren (for a drawing)
- Grandma, I love you like the whole world and a little bit more. Kisses from your grandson/granddaughter!
- Grandad, you are my best mate. I promise to always help you look for your glasses!
- Grandma, your pancakes are the best in the world. I drew you a little heart - it is for you!
- Grandad, when I grow up I will be as strong as you. For now I send a big kiss!
Short wishes (text / call to Poland)
- Dear Grandma, a hundred years in health and smiles! Big kisses - your grandchildren from England.
- Grandad, all the best! Thank you for being you. Health, health and more health!
- For Grandma's Day: lots of sunshine, peace and nothing but good news from the family!
- Cheers, Grandad! May you always have the strength for your passions and patience with all of us.
A gift for Grandma and Grandad
A card will touch them, and a t-shirt will stay for years: see our t-shirts for Grandad (including the iconic “Like A Normal Grandad, Only Cooler”) and the collection for Grandma. We print locally - in Poland too, if you are sending the gift to family - and shipping is free.
