You'll become her favorite grandchild if you wrap up one of these thoughtful picks from Sephora, Mark & Graham and more. (Uncommon Goods, L.L. Bean, Amazon)
Your grandma is the best. She's sort of a double mom, being a caregiver to her own child and a secondary guardian to her grandchild. And since there's no time like the present to celebrate her, I put together a range of standout gifts for grandmas at any stage, whether she was recently promoted to this coveted position or she's been proudly wearing this title for years. You'll notice that a lot of these unique gifts are geared toward women who appreciate the finer things in life — a towel warmer, for example. Some of these gift ideas will solve some of her problems (like a heated hand massager that eases arthritis or carpal tunnel pain), while others will simply brighten her day-to-day.
Practical picks may be the way to her heart, but you also can't go wrong with something more sentimental. Help her set up a digital picture frame, then send your favorite family photos to it in the weeks to follow. Or if you have a way with words (and need more of an affordable gift), then tell her exactly what she means to you in the pages of this $10 fill-in-the-blank book — which also makes a thoughtful and easy last-minute gift.
Whatever you choose, all these gifts for her are sure to bring the happy tears. You can take my word for it because as Yahoo's gifting editor, it's literally my job to help readers find the perfect presents to celebrate the ones they love most. Yep, like your grandma.
Update, August, 4, 2025: We checked all product prices and availability and still stand behind our picks.
Give your loved one the gift of a virtual course taught by a real professional. MasterClass has over 200 classes across 11 categories to choose from, ranging from acting with Natalie Portman to cooking with Gordan Ramsey. Get the standard membership for just $10 a month (billed annually).
Help your loved one get some well-deserved shut eye this year with the Nodpod. This is basically a weighted blanket for their eyes that blocks out light and applies gentle pressure so they can drift off soundly. Snag this bedside essential in any of six shades, including black, pink and cream.
I personally have a Nodpod and reach for it all the time. It's great when you're having trouble falling asleep because your mind is wandering or your room isn't dark enough. I pop this on my eyes and immediately relax.
We all need a helping hand from time to time. Stick this jar opener under a cabinet with the provided adhesive or mount it with screws, then watch in amazement as your grandma opens every single jar and bottle without a problem. One Amazon shopper said it’s quickly become her mom’s “favorite thing ever.” “It just makes life so much easier, and mom is more independent,” they added.
Adult coloring books are a surefire way to exercise an idle mind and hands. This one is filled with a bounty of beautiful blooms — roses, magnolias, hydrangeas and more. Each design is printed on its own page, so she can tear it out and color with ease.
This fill-in-the-blank book is arguably the most sentimental gift you can give. One by one, work your way through all 50 prompts to spell out all the reasons why you’re thankful for her. We can’t promise you won’t shed a little tear making it.
Let’s face it, she doesn’t need another mug that says “World’s Best Grandma.” Instead, treat her to this cheery four-piece set. Fill these mugs with her favorite bean blend, and you've got yourself a gift basket.
This one's for the ornithophiles. If she loves puzzles (nearly) as much as she loves birds, then this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle is a match made in heaven. When she finishes it, ask her to name each and every state bird.
A regular old cuppa tea will get the job done, but Tea Forte's pyramid-shaped bags will take her experience to the next level. She can sample five fruit-forward varieties — white ginger pear, raspberry nectar, cucumber mint and more — in this 10-piece set.
If you have a bookworm on your list, a portable book nook is the gift she never knew she needed. This acacia-wood valet has a designated spot for all her reading essentials: her novel, reading glasses, phone and drink of choice.

Love makes a garden grow — and hers is in full bloom. Personalize this flower pot with the names and birth flowers of her grandkids to symbolize exactly that. Keep in mind that it can only fit up to six grandchildren.
Suction this acrylic bird feeder to any window to get a close-up of all the action. It’s “very easy to fill with food” and “can actually hold a lot,” according to one five-star reviewer who added it’s also a “great gift for bird lovers or cats.”
At this point, she probably has her skincare routine down to a science. New lotions and creams are always welcome, though. This hand cream trio from L’Occitane features three of their most popular scents: fresh shea butter, warm almond and calming lavender.
Sun protection has never looked so cool. She'll proudly wear this straw visor in the heat of summer — but once the sun sets, she can just roll it up and throw it into her bag. Get it embroidered with her initials at no added cost.
When her arthritis or carpal tunnel gets the best of her, she can turn to this heated hand massager for soothing relief. Choose between three intensity levels and massage modes to target palm, finger and wrist pain.
One Zappos shopper said they felt like they were “walking on marshmallows” when they wore these slides. Another shopper with plantar fasciitis called them “magic slippers." It’s no wonder people love them: They’re machine-washable, odor-resistant and even earned a stamp of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association (which means they’re actually good for your feet).
You can't top a gift that keeps on giving. Sign her up for a monthly flower delivery — either on a month-to-month basis or for the next three, six or 12 months. Pick the first delivery date, then BloomsyBox will arrange seasonal selections and deliver them on the chosen day each month.
Happy feet right this way. L.L. Bean loyalists know all about these wool slip-ons, which have racked up more than 10,000 five-star reviews. “Just as cute in person. I don’t think I realized just how unsupportive my other slippers were until I tried these,” one superfan wrote of the ever-popular scuffs, available in 11 whimsical designs.
She might be your mom, but she’s your child’s grandmother. Celebrate that bond with a dainty birth flower bracelet to commemorate that bond. Choose the birth flower of your child to remind her of their special relationship each day.
Grandma loves a board game, especially if she can easily carry it from the porch to the pool (and everywhere in between). This backgammon board rolls right up into a leather carrying case, which has a zippered pocket to store the wooden pieces and dice. Make it extra special by adding her initials for an additional $12.50.
Lake's Peruvian Pima cotton is as soft as it gets. Instead of giving her one of the brand's beloved two-piece sets, go with this short-sleeve sleep dress, which one five-star fan said was "the perfect nightgown" since it's "very soft and the perfect length." No more riding up, no more tight waistbands — just pure comfort. Choose between five prints.
Wrapping up in a warm towel is the ultimate luxury — and, well, she deserves it. She can pop her towel and bathrobe into this warmer before she hops in the shower, then bask in its warmth once she’s done. She can do the same with her pajamas or blankets during the winter months.
These chunky loafers are built by bio-mechanics and approved by podiatrists, which means one thing: They'll be just as supportive as they are stylish. Choose from an array of leather and suede options — both of which are designed to fold flat, so she can easily pack them in her bag.
What’s better than a single framed photo? How about endless pics? Once this 15-inch digital frame is plugged in and connected to WiFi, anyone — you, your grandma or her other grandkids — can send photos to the unique mail address or upload them to the app. Sure, it's spendy, but memories are priceless, aren't they? Our Executive Tech Editor Rick Broida thinks so (and for this reason and more, it topped our list of the best digital picture frames).
