Are you looking for a few gifts for Grandparents? Gifts that go beyond the latest gadget, pair of slippers or scarf? A gift your grandparent is certain to love? If so, one of the gifts for grandparents below may be a perfect fit.
These gifts for grandparents vary in time and cost and can be given by one person or collectively as a family.
Gifts for Grandparents
Appreciation Book
Ask family members to list five things they appreciate most about Grandma or Grandpa. Maybe it’s their sense of humor, gift for storytelling or cooking skills. Collect the lists in a beautiful keepsake book. Add photos or funny sketches for an extra special touch.
Framed Photo
Does Grandma or Grandpa have a special photo tucked away somewhere? One of their parents or grandparents? Of themselves as young child with their siblings? If the photo is in poor condition or too small to display, have it digitally restored, reprinted on archival paper and framed.
A Stroll Down Memory Lane
Take a leisurely stroll or drive through your grandparent’s childhood neighborhood. Along the way, ask Grandma or Grandpa to share memories of their youth. If the entire family comes along, provide an itinerary with the history of the neighborhood and highlights.
Organize their Photos
While most Grandparents are the keepers of old family photos, many lack the skills needed to preserve and distribute these priceless windows into your family history. Give your grandparent the gift of a day spent going through old family photos together. Label, organize and discover the stories behind them. Finally, scan the photos so they can be preserved and shared with family members.
Tickets/Experience
Spend an afternoon or evening with your grandparent attending an event or experience they love such as a baseball game, the museum, fishing or the theater.
Family Video Call
Surprise your grandparent with a Zoom call from the entire family! Start the call off with one family member and then act surprised as you let other family members in.
Legacy Video
For a truly special gift, capture their life story, family history and memories in a Legacy Video or video memoir. You can either do it yourself or hire a professional. Either way, knowing their story will be shared for generations to come is a gift that will touch your grandparent deeply.
Cameo Video
Surprise your grandparents with a message from a celebrity. To see who is available, visit Cameo.
Flowers
Brighten their home with fresh flowers or a plant. Order from a flower company or drop them off yourself, make it monthly subscription or a one time event.
Digitize Home Movies
Gather their home movies and send them out to be digitized. Once returned, schedule a movie night for the family. Don’t forget the popcorn!
Family Vacation
Treat your grandparents to a vacation with the entire family. A cruise, resort or home rental generally has something for everyone but for a bit more adventure, the world is your oyster!
Party in Their Honor
Host a party and invite family and friends to join in celebrating your grandparents.
Favorite Charity
Donate to their favorite charity in their honor. Or bring them to a fundraising event for their favorite charity so they can enjoy a special evening.
Subscription
Give your grandparents a subscription to something you know they’ll both love. A newspaper from the town they grew up in, a wine club, a channel that carries their favorite movies or sporting events.
