The 40 Best Holiday Gifts for Grandparents
Gifts they’ll love, remember and cherish forever.
By
While many grandparents may protest that the best gift you can give them is time with their grandkids, we have another idea: a fancy nugget ice maker for their mid-afternoon Arnold Palmers. Not their style? No problem, how about the world's softest blanket for some downtime on the couch? Gifting for grandparents can be a tough task (they seem to have everything!), but it's not so hard when you just think about what they're into.
If they're all about family traditions, lean into it by filling a special picture frame with photos of the kids or grabbing National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Monopoly for family game night. Do they live in a different state? Encourage a visit with a top-rated neck pillow for the flight. Our guide to the best gifts for grandparents includes Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers for the techy grandparents, leather bags and water-resistant denim jackets for the fashion-forward grandparents and personalized gifts for the sentimental grandparents.
If, even after all the options on this list, you’re still in need of ideas, consider getting them an extra piece of baby gear they may be missing at their house (like a diaper pail, a bouncer or a playard). After all, your visits might be that much easier if you don’t have to tote all of your baby gear over to their house every time.
(And in case they're already asking what to get the grandkids for the holidays, we have some ideas. Check out our guides for the best gifts for newborns and toddlers.)
