Shopping for your grandparents (or for your parents on behalf of your kids) is no easy task. While grandma and grandpa would probably appreciate more frequent visits, a loaf of homemade bread or a hand-drawn picture, they deserve everything and more. So, we’ve made it a little easier for you this holiday season by rounding up the best gifts for grandparents. From hydroponic vegetable gardens to sauna blankets, there’s a gift for every kind of grandparent out there.
Even if they truly insist on not wanting anything, you could simply pick up a copy of Ina Garten’s memoir, or grab a nice moisturizer or perhaps a new set of bedsheets. Regardless, they’ll appreciate the thought that went into it. And ultimately, they’ll love what you got them because it came from you!
15 Gifts for Grandparents This Holiday Season
- Sleep Comfortably: Treat grandpa and grandpa to a good night’s rest. Eli and Elm’s side sleeper pillows contour to the head and neck for all-night relaxation. That way, they’ll wake up feeling rested and rejuvenated.
- Jewish Eats: If my grandparents were still around today, I know they’d love the cookbook Eat Jewish: Over 100 Recipes That Blend Jewish Heritage, Modern Flavors, and Family Traditions. It blends both customs and flavors from across Jewish history for flavorful, nostalgic and easy-to-make meals. Yum.
- Feelin’ Cozy: Based on the ~80°F state of your grandparent’s house, you’ve likely noticed they run a little colder than you do. So keep ’em warm through winter with the Puffer Hug 418 scarf. It features fleece-lined pockets to keep things toasty and organized during all their winter walks this holiday season.
- Strike a Pose: Grandma can show off her personal style in Illisa Michele Jewelry’s Kingman Turquoise Bezel Necklace. It’s available in gold plating and features a diamond clasp necklace. She’s about to be the classiest gal at any and all bingo nights to come.
- Sleep Like Royalty: Even though grandpa might run cold, he likely sleeps pretty hot. And Honeydew Sleep sheets are made from 100% bamboo. While wicking away moisture, they’re super soft and silky—perfect for a comfortable and luxurious night’s rest. Bring on all the restful nights.
- Birding Extraordinare: Solar birdfeeder garden cameras were basically made for your grandparents, and Peeipm’s model provides for hours of daily entertainment. It comes with AI recognition to help identify the types of birds that travel through their garden. It could really make their day.
- Forever Nostalgic: Measuring at 10.1 inches, the Aura Carver HD WiFi Digital Picture Frame creates personal slide shows for any online photo albums. So, if grandma and grandpa are missing their grandkids a little extra, they can have all their favorite photos on display at all times. Say cheese!
- Ambiance: While candles are fragrant and add a little ambiance, they can be dangerous (especially if they’re left burning for too long!). Instead, deck out your grandparent’s house with a Pura device. They can pick their choice of fragrance, to keep their house smelling amazing all year long… no open flames required.
- Mind and Body: Give the gift of a sauna (without the high cost). The HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket relaxes the mind and body. With eight adjustable temperature settings, grandpa likely won’t be leaving the house without it!
- Youthful Skincare: Grandma’s never looked better after incorporating Tatcha’s The Dewy Skin Cream Line-Plumping Moisturizer into her skincare routine. Infused with hyaluronic acid, it locks in moisture and reduces visible lines. She’ll be feeling dewy and glowy all day.
- Pet Parents: If your grandparents also happen to be devoted pet parents, keep their couch looking fresh with the Furhaven Waterproof Throw Blanket. It’s cozy, fashionable and waterproof, acting as a stylish barrier from dirt, moisture and pet hair.
- Garden God: Depending on where your folks live, outdoor gardening may be over until spring. But RAINPOINT’s Indoor Hydroponics Growing System lets them grow up to 13 plants from the comfort of their own home.
- Cooking Swap: Even though grandma may be an amazing cook, her mid-century cookware is likely infused with unwanted chemicals. So, swap hers out for Carote’s 21-piece Ceramic Cookware Set. It’s non-toxic and PFOA- and PFAS-free. And not to mention, the aesthetic is 10 out of 10.
- Inspire Them: Be Ready When the Luck Happens: A Memoir tells the amazing story of Ina Garten’s success, from her point of view. Buy it as a hardcover, paperback, for the Kindle or as an audiobook. Either way, it’s a truly inspiring and relatable story that grandma will love.
- Greenery: Add a pop of green to your pop’s office, or to nana’s reading nook! The XXXFLOWER Plant Terrarium keeps plants on display in cool glass bulbs attached to a wooden stand. Thanks to hydroponic technology, they stay alive without much upkeep, so maintenance is simple.
