Grandparents’ Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Labour Day, offering a meaningful opportunity to honour the grandparents and grandparent figures who have shared their love, wisdom, stories, and encouragement. In 2026, Grandparents’ Day falls on Sunday, September 13.
Choose a gift that reflects their personality and the memories you share. A sunflower basket feels warm and cheerful, gerbera daisies bring lively colour, and mixed bouquets can brighten their favourite room. Roses offer a classic expression of affection, with orange, white, red, and rainbow varieties available in the collection.
Orchids are an elegant choice for grandparents who appreciate graceful flowers and polished presentation. For something that can be enjoyed together, consider a gourmet fruit basket filled with a selection suitable for sharing at home or during a family visit.
If you are sending one gift to both Grandma and Grandpa, choose an arrangement based on their home, favourite colours, or shared interests. A colourful basket arrangement, sunflower display, mixed bouquet, or fruit basket can celebrate them as a couple without feeling intended for only one recipient.
Add a personal card message that speaks to your relationship. Try “Thank you for filling our family with love and wonderful memories,” “Your guidance and kindness mean more than words can say,” or “Happy Grandparents’ Day to two of the most important people in my life.”
Flowers and gifts can be delivered to homes, condos, retirement residences, assisted-living communities, and long-term care facilities. When sending to a residence or care facility, include its full name, the recipient’s legal name, room or unit number, front-desk telephone number, and any relevant delivery instructions. It is also helpful to confirm the facility’s flower and food-gift policies before ordering.
Same-day GTA delivery options may be available depending on the destination, product selection, and time the order is placed. Ordering ahead can provide more choice when planning a Grandparents’ Day surprise.
