Most grandparents are happiest with the gift of your presence—but a little something special would be welcome, too. Whether your grandparent is a nature lover, homebody, or cook, we’ve scoured our guides and polled our friends to find the best things to dazzle them on Grandparent’s Day!
- A Card — Best if it’s homemade from your littles with a thoughtful note reflecting on just how grateful you are for their unconditional love and support.
- Flowers — Are always a great idea. We love ordering flowers locally, but if that isn’t an option, we love Uran Stem, Floracracy, and Grace Rose (for roses specifically!) Looking to be the favorite? Sign up to send them monthly blooms as an extra special touch.
- A Digital Frame — Meet the digital photo frame of your dreams, the aura frame. It’s beautiful and allows you to instantly frame photos from your phone and invite your favorite people to join in.
- A Storyworth Book — Because everyone has a story worth sharing! Give them the gift that will help them preserve meaningful moments and memories in a beautiful keepsake book. The best part is they will share the finished product with you, and you’ll discover stories you never knew.
- A Frame Picture — Give them a beautifully framed picture to treasure for years. Framebridge makes it so easy and has never disappointed us. Such a great gift for every loving Grandparent!
- A Bird Feeder — For the nature lover (read my Dad!) who loves (or would love) to attract birds to enjoy and observe from their window, this bird feeder is perfect and will keep the pesky squirrels out!
- A donation in their name — For the grandparents who are impossible to shop for or don’t like stuff, make a donation to a cause close to their heart.
- A Great blanket — Like their warm hug that has always felt so good (for you and your kids!), this dreamy blanket will be an immediate hit and treasured for years to come!
- An Echo Show — Let your grandparents complete basic tasks like reminders and times with a simple voice command using an Echo Show, and it’s also a fun way to replace the home phone with video. Our kids love calling their grandparents on theirs and checking in to say hello whenever they want.
- A Robot Vaccum — Because vacuuming is a chore that no one enjoys, and as mobility becomes challenging as people age, this task becomes even more loathsome. Give them this super practical gift to let them (finally) kick their feet up and let someone else keep the house clean. We’ve had our robot for years, and I can’t imagine life without one — we all have a dishwasher; why not run your robot every night to keep your house spotless? For a smaller budget // for a bigger budget.
- A Weather System — Aren’t most grandparents weather geeks? Whether they live in an area with a microclimate or in a rural area where professionally monitored weather stations are scarce or just LOVE the weather — a personal weather station makes a great gift. They will love collecting big-picture trend data on specifics such as rainfall totals, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction.
