What Do You Gift Your Grandma, the Woman Who Has Everything?

Your grandma is likely one of the most inspirational and impactful figures in your life. As such, every year you want to find new ways to show your appreciation for everything she’s done for you. Even though you have known her for years and have spent many holidays with her, finding the best gift for your grandma might feel like an annual challenge rather than a fun shopping experience.

The most significant reason that buying grandma gifts can feel like a challenge is because it seems like she has everything! She's spent more time on this earth than you have and has a head start on you when it comes to collecting things. She’s often covered in the practical gifts category. She has a million and one books in her library, and the last thing she needs is a tech gadget that will just add more clutter to her life.

Fortunately, over the years you’ve come to know your grandma and your special relationship better than anyone else. So tap into that knowledge and utilize the unique ideas below for thoughtful gifts and gestures she’s practically guaranteed to love!

Make Her Dinner

Do you know the three words that will send any grandmother into emergency mode?

"I haven't eaten."

You can probably relate and remember all of the times when grandma would drop everything to make you a meal while you were growing up (and likely after that as well). Though she might never ask you to, it’s likely she’d love if you’d repay the favor by cooking a meal from scratch for her.Plan out a date, invite her over for dinner, and pull out all of the stops. Make it a dinner that she'll remember, and she’ll love it more than any gift card you could have given her.

Talk About Her Childhood Memories

When you were young, your grandma probably told you stories about her youth, your family, and more. But now that you’re grown up and have a busy career, you don’t quite have the time to sit with her and listen to her stories like you used to. Well this year, along with any other gift you get her, show your appreciation for your grandmother by asking about her childhood memories and spending some quality time together. The holiday season is perfect for this since you’ll have a few extra days off work and can schedule in time for family.

A Gift Depicting Your Relationship

While your grandma seems to have most everything, one thing that she might not have that she’ll keep and display forever is a sculptural figure showing your love and appreciation for her. These handcrafted figures are perfect to display on a coffee table, bookshelf, mantel, or anywhere else, because while they take up little physical space, they are big enough symbolically to fill your grandmother's heart. Seek out one that perfectly showcases the symbolic nature of your relationship with each other for a gift she’s sure to cherish.
