Looking for the perfect gift for your grandmother? We’ve got you covered with this guide to some home gifts your grandmother will love. Grandmas love to spoil their grandchildren, so it’s only fair that they get pampered sometimes too. A sentimental gift is sure to pull at her heart strings, so consider something special like a handmade gift or an item that includes photos and memories of your time spent together. Or, you can opt for a more practical route and get grandma those lush items she loves like unique tarot card candles or something for around like a house like a robot vacuum.
Whether it’s your grandmother’s birthday, a special holiday or a gift just because, these are some of our top suggestions.
Something Homemade
Grandchildren are a grandma’s pride and joy, and they love to show off anything their grandchildren make, which is why a homemade gift is the perfect idea. For younger kids, parents can help them create a unique craft project. Any kids project with handprints or special items like photographs make the perfect gift that they can hold on to for years to come.
For older kids or adults looking to give grandma something special this year, try your hand at DIY projects with homemade photo frames, hand-painted plant pots and custom decorative signs.
Photo Frame with Recording
Grandmothers love to decorate their home with memories and photos of their grandchildren because they have a special, important bond with each other. In fact, this bond is so special that some studies have shown that grandparents can feel their grandchildren’s emotions simply by looking at photos of them. Whether your grandma lives near or far, she’ll love a framed photo of you together, particularly if it’s the kind of frame that allows you to record a message, so she can hear your voice any time!
Candles and Home Decor
Everyone takes pride in their homes, which is why decorating the inside to reflect your life and personality is so important. For grandma, making sure her home is a cozy, welcoming place is top priority for entertaining grandchildren, other family members and friends. Help your grandmother let her unique personality shine through her home decor with beautiful, unique items like tarot card candles or artwork that speaks to her style and personality.
Cozy, Self-Care Kit
Grandmas love their grandchildren unconditionally and would do anything for them. Grandparents often play a major role in helping to raise grandchildren, particularly in their infancy and toddlerhood. Give back to grandma with a self-care kit that encourages her to kick back and take care of herself. You can search for a premade self care basket or gift box with items like bubble bath, a face mask and a cozy robe and slippers. Or, you can opt to create your own and incorporate some of her favorite treats and other items.
Photo Album or Scrapbook
If you’re looking for a DIY project, and you want to incorporate important memories with your grandma, a photo album or scrapbook is the perfect gift. Printing out photos and pulling together something special like this takes a lot of time and effort, showing your grandmother just how much you care. Once she opens the book to her favorite photos of you together at family gatherings on family trips and even nostalgic images from your childhood, it will be one of the most special gifts she’s ever received.
Your Best Cookie Recipe
We all know how much grandmother’s love to feed their grandchildren — especially treats like cookies and desserts. Let your grandma be on the receiving end of a special dish like cookies this time! You can use your own cookie recipe or try to recreate one of hers, but surprise her with warm, homemade cookies and she’ll be forever grateful!
A Robot Vacuum
You may have to be the one to help your grandma set this gift up, but once you do, she’ll be forever grateful. Although it is more of a practical gift than a sentimental one, it’s still a thoughtful gift that will let grandma spend more time with her grandchildren and doing hobbies she loves.
A Foot Massager
As we get older, our bodies start to feel strained more easily. If your grandma spends a lot of time on her feet, or even if she doesn’t, but she loves a good evening of pampering, a foot massager is the perfect gift. She can enjoy her night soaking in the tub and watching her favorite TV show. Most tubs have a variety of Jacuzzi-like settings for an even more relaxed experience. Pair this gift with some essential oils or epsom salt to add to her new calming, foot massager.
There Are so Many Gifts to Show Grandma You Care
The next time you’re looking for a gift for your grandmother, consider some of these ideas from the sentimental to the practical. And don’t forget — spending time with grandma is still the greatest gift of all in her eyes.
