1. Picture Frame

Grandmas love seeing pictures of their grandkids, no matter how old they are. 

This picture frame helps display the picture of you and her together.

She is going to cherish it!

2. Personalized Pillow Cover

If you know that your grandma won’t be getting any more grandbabies, then this cute personalized pillow cover is perfect for her.

I mean, it would be a bummer to have the last little one or 2 on there.

3. Best Grandma Ever Tumbler

You know how amazing your grandma is, but you can let everyone else know too with this Best Grandma Ever tumbler.

The tumbler does a fantastic job of keeping drinks hot or cold.

4. Photo Collage Blanket

If you do a little planning, you can get all the grandkids on board to help make a photo collage blanket for your grandma.

She will enjoy snuggling under it while feeling close to all her grandkids.

5. Personalized Keychain

This personalized keychain is adorable and is perfect for the grandma who has fewer grandkids than my parents.

Carrying around a keychain with 15 little charms on it might be a bit overboard and bulky.

6. Cashmere Scarf

Nothing screams boujee like cashmere.  I feel like you have to say cashmere with a fancy accent every time.

You can never go wrong with a cashmere scarf, found at Bloomingdale's.  No size guessing needed.

Your grandmother is going to love how beautiful and soft it is.

7. Makeup

I know lots of older ladies and I pay attention to the fact that most of them wear makeup either for special occasions or almost every day.

If you know your grandma well, you can restock some of her favorite items.  Or you can be bold and introduce her to something new.

Since I am 37, I do not know the ways of mature skin like they do but I do have sensitive skin that is dry most of the time.

These are a few great neutral products that I know she will love, found at Sephora.

Tarte Matte Eyeshadow Pallet

Charlotte Tilbury Finishing Powder

Hour Glass Ambient Blush

9. Home Spa Kit

Give your grandma a way to relax at home with this home spa kit.

Trust me when I say that Grandma is going to love pampering herself.

10. Jewelry

There are so many beautiful options for jewelry that I know you will find something to fit into your budget as well as your grandmother’s style.

I have had nothing but the best experience with Shane Co.

All of my “real jewelry” is from there and I cannot give them enough praise.

11. Spa Gift Card

Treat Grandma to some pampering and get her a gift card to a local spa or nail salon.

She will be able to sit back and relax while letting someone else worry about her nails for a while.

12. Generation Necklace

This is a beautiful generation necklace for grandma.  It combines all the love from grandma to daughter to granddaughter.

She will be able to think of not only you but your mom as well when she wears it.

13. Restock Coffee or Tea

If you know your grandma well enough to know her flavors, restock her favorite coffee or tea.  But don’t fret if you aren’t sure.

You can go with a gourmet coffee or tea sampler and she may find a new favorite flavor.

14. Take Her Out To Eat

There is no great gift than the gift of your time.  Set up a date with grandma to take her out for coffee, lunch, or supper.

This is one of my favorite gifts to give my grandma because she is such a hoot to talk to.

15. Hobby Store Gift Card

I am sure your grandma has a hobby or 2 to keep her busy.  But hobbies usually mean investing in materials, which of course cost money!

Why not get her a gift card to her favorite hobby store.

All the grandmothers in my life would enjoy a gift card to JoAnn Fabric.

Let me know in the comments below what your grandma’s favorite hobby is.  I am always so curious about it.

16. Flowers

17. The Comfy

Does your grandma often say she is cold or seem like she is cold when you are around her?

Have her try The Comfy.

This thing is so cozy and she will easily be able to wear it when she is lounging around her house.

18. Slippers

Combine the Comfy with a new pair of slippers for your grandma. 

Make sure to do some digging so you get her the correct size.

These slippers are amazing and durable with a hard sole.  I know your grandma is going to love them.

19. Neck and Back Massager

Help your grandma work out all the aches and pains in her muscles with this massager pillow.

No offense to her but she is no spring chicken and needs a good massage more often than not.

20. Wind Chime

21. Garden Tool Set

If your grandmother is a gardener, she could probably use a refresh on her garden tools.

I know that my mom and grandma would use broken or dull garden tools forever and never think to replace them.

22. Memory Journal

By giving this memory journal book to your grandmother, she will be able to leave you with as many stories about her past as she wants to share.

A gift for you and her.

Before my grandpa passes away, I had the chance to interview him with a bunch of random questions.

And I am so glad that I did.  I was able to find out so much about our family and him.

23. Family Calendar Board

Whether your grandmother’s family is still growing or is complete, help her keep track of all those important dates with this Family Calendar Board.

It will make a beautiful addition to her wall.

24. Digital Picture Frame

25. Cheese Board

If your grandmother is anything like mine, she loves to entertain. 

Refresh her serving platters with this Cheese Board.  Bump it up a notch and pair it with a nice bottle of wine, if she is into that.

Her friends are all going to want one too.

26. Homemade Calendar

Grandma will go bananas over this calendar that you make her.

It does take some coordination and time on your part to gather photos from other family members and put the calendar together but it is so worth it!

I love using Snapfish but I hear that Shutterfly works well also. 

The thing I love about Snapfish is that there is always some kind of discount going on.  So, if you pay full price, that is your own fault.

27. What I Love About Grandma Journal

This What I Love About Grandma journal is filled with all the love that you can give your grandma.  It is the perfect way to tell her how wonderful she is and how much she means to you.

There are prompts throughout the book and you just fill in the blank.

28. Send Mail

Everyone loves getting snail mail and that includes your grandma. 

Even if you live close, consider putting a birthday card or a nice letter in the mail for her.

My grandma loves when my 11-year-old daughter writes to her.  She tells her, keep them coming!

29. Throw Grandma a Birthday Party

Every grandma that I have in my life loves to be around as much family as she can be on or near her birthday.

Putting together a small party will help get everyone in the same place for her.  Ask everyone to bring a dish to pass.

Just make sure to tell her that the food is covered and she can sit back and enjoy her time with everyone.
