Luckily, your nana is (usually) one of the easier people shop for. While you could go the luxury route with a fashionable find or a piece of jewelry, chances are grandma is more interested in the useful or thoughtful items out there. To help, we rounded up the best gifts for grandma.
We spend all year testing and researching the best products. Whether you're shopping for a younger or older grandma, we noticed that the personalized gifts that are curated to her hobbies and interests really take off. Or, the self-care route is another smart way to go: you can help soothe the aches and pains that come with aging with a top-tested neck massager that earned high marks in our testing Labs at the GH Institute. We also threw in some staffer favorites that she might love too.
If she's got small grandchildren or great-grandchildren running around, she's going to love this book. You personalize the book with names, colors and even a dedication.
If anyone will appreciate this gift, it's your grandma. The pop-up card looks so much like real flowers, she's going to keep it out all year long. There are a few "bouquets" to choose from, too.
She'll always be ready for a getaway to her grandkids with this canvas tote bag. It'll hold all of her essentials, and it has two straps that make it comfortable to carry all day.
Get the house she grew up in or the place where she raised her family hand painted on canvas or paper. You can also add a personalized message.
Painting can be therapeutic, and it helps to have some guidance, especially if you're a beginner. This paint by numbers kit comes with two sets of 10x10 framed paintings, acrylic paint, brushes and instructions.
Up to six stones can be added to this piece. You can choose the ones for her kids or grandkids. It's also adjustable, so you don't have to worry about sizing.
Your grandma is surely proud of her grandchildren. After printing out her favorite photos, she can clip them to this frame for everyone to see.
Grandmas have lots of hobbies, and this clever gadget can help with pretty much all of them. She can sew, read or do whatever she likes without disturbing your grandpa while he sleeps.
You know what beats one picture? 4,000+! Set up this digital frame and send photos from any device with the compatible app, so she can always have her family's most recent moments on display for all to see (and let's face it, show off).
She'll adore this unique LED night light that's engraved with a sweet message. It's a cute gift for the person who has everything, and will surely find a spot on her bookshelf.
"I bought this candle warmer a few years ago and now many of my friends have purchased the same one," said Textiles Lab Associate Director Emma Seymour. "It adds a bit of luxury to your home while making your candles last much longer."
Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager
This neck and back massager stood out in our Lab tests for its comfortable fit and the deep compression it offered. “The nodes hugged the neck and provided kneading motions in triplets, with the first two being moderate and the last one delivering a stronger, deeper knead,” a tester said.
This bath and body gift basket has been trending on Amazon for good reason. The soothing vanilla coconut smell will help relax her.
"I have a lot of throw blankets, but this is the one I love the most," says Grace Wu, Textiles Lab Analyst. "It's soft and lightweight without feeling flimsy, plus easy to care for."
Nana will never want to take these fuzzy memory foam slippers off. Plus, their open-toed style is super stylish.
If her Dutch oven needs replacing, this one by Lodge impressed Lab pros in testing. It performed just as well as higher end ovens and simmered food evenly. It's just a bit smaller, which can come in handy if she has a tighter kitchen.
Wu says that these socks are "undeniably cozy" and everyone she's ever gifted them to goes out of their way to thank her.
If they're proud of their family's recipes, gift this book so they can keep them all organized. This one comes with 160 pages to jot down their best dishes, along with any meaningful memories over the years.
While no recipe can completely capture how wonderful she is, this bamboo cutting board comes pretty close. It's also good for cutting meat, vegetables, fruits and more — perfect for whipping up delicious meals.
She has likely collected a lot of jewelry over the years. This faux leather organizer is perfect for her favorite trinkets. It can also be customized with her name and birth flower for an added fee.
