Get them talking about what they did when they were your age, (this includes their kids, not just the grandkids), what was it like, ask about their parents and grandparents, etc. Spending quality time with them is better then buying them something. Oh record it so that later you can listen to it again and/or pass it on to your kids.

  • Personalized calendars are fun gifts. Find 12 photos your grandparents would enjoy and put a calendar together. Any store with a photo center can make a calendar.To add a little extra, pencil in some days you’ll be visiting so they have something to look forward to.
  • Sticking to the personalized theme, robes and slippers are comfy and cozy gifts. You can get initials, the first letter of a name or “grandma” and “grandpa” on loungewear.
  • For those stereotypical outdoor-loving, gardening fanatic grandparents, garden tools are great. It will give them something to look forward to doing come spring and it’s a great, healthy hobby.
  •  Lucky enough to have grandparents who love to be crafty in the kitchen? Buy cookware! Whether it’s a bread maker, some new pots and pans or a new electronic mixer, odds are you will benefit from the delicious goods that will be made using your gift.
  •  For the active and super-social grandparents, a membership to aerobics or other exercise classes could benefit them in many ways. They can get exercise while meeting new friends in the classes.
  • A massage pillow is a good gift for grandparents. It can calm grandparents from the stress of all the free baby-sitting, cooking and cleaning they do for their beloved children and grandchildren.
