It was a day early, but...

Today is my father's 88th birthday. Last week I went to Hakone with my parents for ♨️ night 🚗 but my husband and I had prepared gifts in advance, so yesterday afternoon, my husband and I went shopping at Aeon and gave the gift 🎁 I had prepared while eating dinner together and a letter I wrote briefly and ate while talking with four adults. My father, who has no eyes on plants, was very pleased. He said it was the first time for Goyomatsu.

... Read more私も祖父の米寿祝いに五葉松の盆栽を贈った経験があります。五葉松は松の中でも葉が短く、盆栽として人気が高いだけでなく、長寿を象徴する植物なのでお祝いにぴったりでした。贈るときは、父のように盆栽に詳しくない方でも育てやすいように、日当たりと風通しの良い場所に置くことをアドバイスしました。 五月や六月、九月から十一月にかけては水やりを1日1~2回と多めにし、夏の直射日光すぎる時間を避けて管理すると元気に育ちます。こうした育て方も一緒に伝えれば、より喜ばれますね。 私は祖父母と家族で過ごす時間を大切にしているので、箱根の温泉旅館や自然豊かな場所に連れて行くのも良い方法だと思います。温泉の癒し効果とゆっくり過ごす家族の団らんは、プレゼント以上の価値をもたらします。 また、簡単な手紙を添えることで、感謝やこれからの健康を願う気持ちが伝わりやすくなりました。プレゼントの五葉松が祖父母の新たな楽しみの一つとなっています。贈る側も受け取る側も思い出深い素敵な体験になるので、米寿など長寿祝いの際はぜひ参考にしてみてください。
