Thinking of a special gift idea for grandma can be hard. After all, she's been there for (and spoiled) us since day one. But this Mother’s Day, think outside the box to celebrate the matriarch in your family and all the ways she shows up in your life. (Talking to you, grandchildren!) If you need some inspiration, we found the best sentimental and practical gifts that she's definitely going to love.
No matter what you pick, your grandmother is sure to appreciate you putting thought into finding something just for her. If she's struggling with joint pains, she might appreciate a heated hand massager, or if she's always spending time in her garden, there's a padded kneeler that will save her knees and back. If you're in doubt, a digital picture frame where the whole family can add photos remotely, is always a hit—since there's nothing grandma wants more than to see the smiling faces of her loved ones.
This year, Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 11, and we've got ideas you can shop now that will arrive in time to pamper her on the big day.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, grandma will get a novel of memories with this digital frame. You can upload photos for her from your phone, and she can rotate the frame horizontally and vertically at any given moment.
Many grandmothers suffer from either arthritis issues or carpal tunnel, in which case, they'll appreciate this easy-to-use massager that gently warms sore hands. It's designed to massage each individual finger separately, soothing knots and promoting circulation.
We have—and love—this mini fan that's small enough to fit in her bag. It's got three cooling speeds, a built-in flashlight, and the fan blades are soft to the touch.
If you are really stumped on what to get your grandmother this year, flowers are always a safe bet. In case you waited until the last minute, these bold (real!) orchids are available from Amazon with speedy Prime shipping.
A lightweight Kindle is perfect for grandma to take on-the-go, or to keep on her nightstand. With a glare-free display that is easy on the eyes, the ability to make the font sizes as large as she wants, and a battery life that last weeks, she'll be able to read all her fave novels.
This 1,000-piece puzzle might be a challenge, but if you tackle it with grandma, she'll love it even more. The small town landscape is packed with colorful details and it's got a glare-free matte finish and pieces that securely lock together.
If your grandma is the type who hates to put the air-conditioner on, this tower fan can provide a cooling breeze without making the electric bill skyrocket. This has six different speeds and a remote so she doesn't have to leave the couch to change the settings.
Gardening is a favorite pasttime of many parents and grandparents, but bending and squatting gets harder as we get older. This kneeler is padded for knee protection, but can be flipped over and used as a seat for pruning.
It happens to the best of us, but as you get older, it's easy to lose track of your things. This set of Bluetooth trackers can go in a wallet, keys, remote, or suitcase, so grandma will always be able to find what she needs.
For the grandma who loves puzzles, she'll also love putting together a LEGO set with their clear directions. This striking orchid botanical is pretty enough to display when its finished, and never needs to be watered.
Some grandmas have big bags that hold everything and the kitchen sink, but we know a lot of grandmas who like a smaller crossbody for traveling lightly. This quilted option from Quince has pockets big enough for her phone, wallet, and other small essentials.
Hands-free slides make life so much easier for anyone, but especially if grandma has a harder time bending over to tie laces. Kizik shoes allow your foot to slide right in, as the back of the heel is designed to rebound like magic. They come in regular and wide widths, and are available in eight different neutral colors.
Can't decide between something crafty or garden-related? This kit is the best of both hobbies. It comes with everything she'll need to plant four bonsai trees and instructions for how to shape and form them as they grow.
If grandma has always wanted to crochet, but hasn't learned how, the Woobles kits are a fantastic way to get started. The bag has everything you need to make a little penguin, including yarn, a hook, stuffing, and detailed step-by-step video directions.
Perfect for helping grandma stay hydrated (and up with the trends!), this viral Stanley tumbler gets its claim to fame for its ability to keep drinks cold or hot all day long and its wide straw for easy sipping.
This pop-up card is not only beautifully inspired by freshly cut flowers that grandma may already have in her garden, but it'll also surprise her way beyond the typical Mother's Day card. Like any good floral arrangement, it comes with an accompanying notecard for a heartfelt message to put a smile on her face.
This customizable sweatshirt will put a new meaning to grandma wearing her heart on her sleeve thanks to her grandkids's names embroidered on it.
Who said grandma's prescription glasses can't be stylish? From Oprah's view, reading glasses can be treated as a "fun accessory," which is exactly why she included them in her 2021 Favorite Things list. Gift grandma this popular pair from Peepers, which the multi-hyphenate says are "far from frumpy."
When she's kicking back and relaxing, give her the gift of comfort with this plush robe. It's made of a soft combed, long-staple Turkish cotton material and has an adjustable tie waist and wide-sleeve cuffs that she can fine-tune for the perfect fit.
This bird feeder is a Country Living favorite for grandma, as its shingled copper roof can give birds a little shade as they eat. Wrap it up with a pair of birding binoculars so she can catch flyers near and far that stop by!
