Gift Guide for Grandparents: gifts to make them smile

Gift Guide for Grandparents!

Although grandparents may be nice and accepting of whatever you get them, they often have a lot of things they need already! My only living grandparent left is my Grandma, and I always want to spoil her with the best and most amazing gift a granddaughter could give her. But I could get her anything and she would probably already have something nicer! She’s one of those grandma’s that would think anything I got her was amazing, but I don’t want to give her something that will cause clutter.

Here is my list of top ideas for my gift guide for grandparents. It’s a list of items that I would give to grandparents, whether it’s my grandma or my grandma-in-law. Hopefully, this will give you a few ideas on what to get them! I feel like grandparents can really appreciate good quality items and really notice small details. A little extra touch to show them how much you care can also make a big difference!

Please let me know what you’ve been getting for others, I would love to know and get more ideas 😊 Leave any suggestions in the comments down below or let me know on Twitter/Instagram!

Let’s get started!

What to get your grandparents this Christmas!

Nidore Fragrances Candles

Give the gift of a beautifully smelling home! These gorgeous candles from Nidore Fragrances are homemade and hand-poured. Using only organic and naturally derived products, they are essential for any home. Each candle comes in various sizes, and all are equipped with a lid for easy storage. Get yourself one here, starting from £10.

Amazon Echo Dot

Another “tech” gift which would be great for grandparents is the Echo Dot (3rd generation) from Amazon. We got this for my mother-in-law and it was such fun for the whole family! It is a controlled smart speaker with Alexa making it perfect for any room. You can ask it to play your music, read out the news and more, and also control other compatible smart home devices, all without having to touch anything! Get one here direct from Amazon, available in four different colors.

Amazon Fire Stick

We LOVE our Amazon fire stick so much! It’s such a simple way to watch Netflix, Prime, YouTube, and just normal TV. This is why I think it makes such a great gift for Grandparents! It comes with Alexa too, so it’s even easier to use. Whether your Grandparents are tech-savvy or not, this is a great and convenient gift that they can easily add to their home and enjoy all year round. They don’t need a satellite connection or anything! Get it here on Amazon.

Personalized Photo Gift

A personalized gift is something special and sentimental, and I love the thought and effort behind each gift. It’s something that goes the extra mile and celebrates your connection with that person. I got my Grandmother a personalized calendar for Christmas this year, and she specifically requested it after she saw my gift to my dad from last Christmas. My favorite place to get personalized gifts is from Snapfish! Check out the massive variety of products they have, from standard canvas prints to photo books, mugs, water bottles, and cushions!

Bath Robe

Who doesn’t love a good bath robe for lounging around at home in! This one from The White Company is made from jersey, which is the perfect material for a relaxing night in, or to wear at home after a long day. Their products are always made to a high standard, and this is perfect for giving your grandparents a little bit of pampering.

G and Tea Set

This is such a fun way to mix and serve a cocktail! The design is also so unique! The teapot comes with a filter basket, so you can make fruity tea without the lumps and pips. Any spirits (or none!) can be used with it if gin isn’t your cup of tea (literally!) and give tea parties a bit of a twist. You can get one here on Amazon.

Set of Photo Frames

SONGMICS Picture Frames Set of 10 Photo Frames

I’ve recently been really into creating photo memories, and become a big fan of snapfish, the online photo printing service (not an ad I promise!). This set of ten frames can be set up to create this stunning gallery like wall feature, made up of all your best memories together. I love this idea, and I would print out a couple of photos for each frame, and maybe have them seasonal themed so they can change the photos in them with the season. I love this kind of gift because it adds a personal touch, and remind you of your time with your loved ones as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

Ren Skincare Set

Christmas 2019 by REN Clean Skincare Get The Glow Radiance Gift Set

This travel-friendly kit from REN has three skincare goodies! My mom is a big fan of the brand REN, and her recommendations are so important to me, mostly because they always turn out amazing! If your grandparent is a traveler and loves a good relaxing pamper session, this kit is perfect for them! You can check it out for yourself and grab one before its sold out here.

RHS Desk Diary

This 2020 diary from the Royal Horticultural Society is absolutely stunning. The diary has a week-to-view format, which I think is the best kind of diary, as it gives you enough space for notes and appointments, but also an easy overview of what you’ve got coming up in the week. Get yourself one here on Amazon.
