Aside from spending time with their grandchildren, your grandparents don't ask for much — but you should still buy them something special. Whether it's Father's Day, Grandparents Day or an anniversary gift, surprise them with one of these thoughtful presents to show them just how much they're loved by the younger generation. Browse unique gifts for grandparents, no matter their hobbies, including gardening, cooking, playing board games or even relaxing at home.

From custom calendars and digital photo frames to a legacy journal, there are an array of personalized gifts that will tug at their heartstrings. And, if you're a parent shopping for your young baby or toddler, we've included sentimental ideas for first-time grandparents (like a homemade storybook). Or, go for something more practical like a heated blanket, cozy cloud slippers or a terracotta grow kit green thumbs will love.

Whether you're looking for an inexpensive gift or willing to splurge on something super special, you're guaranteed to find something on this list. We've even sprinkled in some experience gifts, ideal for any retired grandparents willing to learn a new skill — like cooking, coloring or playing pickle ball.
