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.
Gift her this journal, which will prompt her to answer over 200 questions about her life. It's an easy way to get closer to her, and remember her forever.
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.
Silk pillowcases are the way to go if she's been complaining about her hair, skin and overall sleep quality. Grandma would also be happy to know that this option topped the Good Housekeeping Institute's Lab tests.
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.
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.
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.
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).
Microwavable sleepers are always a top-seller year after year, but if she already has those, try these mittens. They can be heated up, and the lavender scent will put her at ease as she takes care of her achy hands.
Eighty empowering, healing Bible verse cards are included in this sweet set. She can pull one out every day as her daily affirmation.
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.
Perfect to match the vibrancy she brings to your life, the shirt features beautiful wildflowers. The fabric is soft, and it comes in five different colors so you can pick her favorite.
Don't let the rain ruin grandma's new hairdo (that trip to the salon could have been expensive). The Hairbella rain hat is a stylish replacement for an umbrella if forgotten. It folds into a pouch that fits in your bag and its satin lining keeps hair protected.
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.
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.
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.
This hilarious book is totally blank, but can keep her passwords, account information and all the birthdates of her grandkids in one safe place.
Nana will never lose her spot again with this fun pillowcase that can hold her remote and glasses. Just be sure to scoop up a pillow insert — the linen cover doesn't come with one.
"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."
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.
