Grandparent Christmas Gifts to Show Love
Don’t know what to get your grandparents for Christmas? Here is a list of some of the best grandparent Christmas gifts that will leave them feeling loved and appreciated.
1. My Family Cookbook
Does your family love cooking and have lots of family recipes? Create a family cookbook for your grandparents!
Find out what their favorite family recipes are, especially from their childhood, if you can, and put them into a recipe book. This is a gift they will love and can then be passed down through generations.
2. Grandparent’s Journal
Grandparents’ journals are so much fun for both them and your family. They come with questions about their lives that grandma and grandpa then get to answer. It is a great way to preserve family history and hear their story!
There are ones where you can get grandma’s and grandpa’s separately or combined.
3. Digital Picture Frame
All grandparents love to see their children and grandchildren as often as possible. But, if they live far away, that might not be possible very often.
With a digital picture frame, they will be able to see new pictures of everyone daily! You can easily add new pictures, too, to keep them up to date. They will smile all day long each time they walk by their digital picture frame.
4. Customized Cutting Board
If your grandparents love to cook, get them a customized cutting board! You can add their names, their wedding date, or grandma and grandpa on it. You can do just about anything!
This is a fun gift that will make them think of you each time they need to chop some food.
5. Personalized Mugs
Are your grandparents coffee drinkers? Get them a set of personalized mugs!
Add a picture of all their grandchildren, write their names on it, or find some funny grandparent mugs you think they would like. The options are pretty endless here!
While your grandparents might already have mugs at home, you can never have too many, and they will love using one each morning that was made just for them.
6. Blanket
Just like with mugs, you can never run out of blankets! The older you get, the colder you seem to get too, so a blanket is another great Christmas gift for your grandparents.
There are so many great throw blanket selections, so be sure to get a design, color, and fabric you know they will love!
7. Grandkids Sign
Grandparents always love to see their grandbabies every chance they get. It is one of the best things about being a grandma! For Christmas, get them a grandkids sign to brighten their day as they walk by.
There are so many fun ones to get. You can grab a simple one, one with their grandkids’ names, or one they can hang pictures on.
8. Family Tree
If your grandparents are really into family history, why not make them their own family tree? You can find relatives through Ancestry or ask your parents for a basic one.
If you already have a strong family tree, get a tree picture frame and create a family tree with pictures! See how many pictures you can fit on it. This will be a precious grandparent gift!
9. Photo Album
Grab a nice new photo album and put pictures your grandparents haven’t already seen. This might mean you take new pictures, or you fill it with lesser-known photos from the past.
Put some funny ones in, special memories, and just day-to-day pictures. This will be such a fun grandparent Christmas gift they will treasure forever.
10. Family Portrait
One thing grandparents love most is pictures of their family, especially when they are all together. If you can, get the family together to capture this precious memory. If not, give your grandparents a coupon and plan a time when you can all get together for a portrait.
There are also so many artists that will draw, paint, or watercolor a family portrait for you as well. This is a great option when your family is all spread out because many artists can combine pictures to make it look as if you were together.
11. What I Love About Grandma and Grandpa
Instead of giving them a journal where they write about themselves, you can give them one where you write about your grandparents! This would be such a special gift to give your grandparents, as they never truly know how much they mean to you.
There are simple What I Love About Grandma and What I Love About Grandpa books with prompts to help you write, or you can create your own!
12. Keychain and Necklace
Grandparents always love keychains and necklaces. You can personalize them however you’d like, or just get ones that remind them of you.
Here are some fun keychains for grandpa:
- Personalized photo keychain
- If grandpa can’t fix it, no one can
- Remember, I love you
- We hooked the best grandpa
Here are some necklaces especially for grandmas:
- Generations necklace
- I love you to the moon and back, grandma
- Birthstone necklace
- Personalized family tree necklace
13. Puzzles
Puzzles are always a good idea to give grandparents too! With these, you can get creative and give a variety of puzzles that are not the norm.
Get a personalized puzzle with a picture of the grandkids. They will love putting this puzzle together, and they can always frame it when they are done too.
Word searches or sudokus are also great puzzles that some grandparents enjoy doing every now and then. Many grandparents also have fun doing mind puzzles that are usually wooden or metal.
14. Travel Vouchers
What grandparents truly want is to simply be together. If you live a long distance from each other, you might be able to give a travel voucher, such as a plane or train ticket, to help them make the trip.
If traveling is too hard for them, you can give them vouchers for when you will be traveling down to them instead!
Grandparents are so much fun to shop for, especially because they will love anything you get them. Choose from any of these grandparents’ Christmas gifts, and you will make them feel so special and loved this holiday season.
