Gifts for Grandma

Looking for a few great gifts for Grandma? For an 80th Birthday? A special Mother’s Day, Christmas or other occasion?

Below are 5 truly meaningful gifts for Grandma that go beyond a beautiful scarf, bouquet of flowers or pair of cozy but non-slip slippers. These are gift ideas with a personal touch, ones that show thought and love and are certain to touch her deeply.

These gifts for Grandma can be given by one person or collectively as a family.

A Favorite Photo Framed
Does Grandma have a favorite old family photo tucked away somewhere? If the photo is in poor condition or too small to display, have it digitally restored, enlarged and reprinted on archival paper. For an extra special touch, make copies for the entire family. When presenting the gift, be sure to ask her share the story behind the photo.
A Drive Down Memory Lane
Take a leisurely drive through the neighborhood where Grandma grew up and encourage her to share memories. If the whole family comes along, rent a van or a bus and distribute a written itinerary with photos featuring the highlights and family members.
Spend Day Going Through Old photos
While most Grandmothers are the keepers of the old family photos, many lack the technical skills to preserve and distribute them. Give Grandma the gift of a day together going through old family photos, labeling, organizing and learning the stories behind them. Finally, scan them so they can be preserved and distributed in a digital format.
Capture her Life Story
For a truly special gift, capture her life story, family history and memories in a book, on audio tape or in a Legacy Video. You can either do it yourself or hire a professional. Either way, knowing her story will be shared with generations to come is gift guaranteed to touch her deeply.
An Appreciation Book
Ask family members to list five things they appreciate most about Grandma. Maybe it’s her chocolate brownies, her hugs or her birthday cards. Collect the lists and put them together in a book. Add photos for an extra special touch. When presenting the book, have each family member read their list.
