Here’s our Gifts for Grandparents Gift Guide:

---

1. Grandparents who love to birdwatch will love having them come right to their window. 

This isn’t just any old bird feeder because this one suctions right to the window so birdwatching just got even easier. The strong suction cups allow you to place it on any window and fill it with all the seeds you need. We even think it would be a great gift for grandparents who may be in a nursing home and could use some extra daily company. Many reviewers said it was their favorite purchase EVER and with over 17,000 reviews we don’t think you should hesitate to grab one.

Splurge on this bird feeder with a camera so your grandparents can have eyes at all times:

Splurge on this wireless camera bird feeder if you already know you want this to be a big gift for grandparents. The built-in camera which is suitable for outdoor use has a built-in microphone and 160° ultra-wide angle so your grandparents won’t miss a beat.

2. Pictures of the family are always a great gift for grandparents. 

It may seem like a basic gift, but there is almost nothing more meaningful to grandparents than some precious photos of their family. Whether you get them framed or create a larger-than-life canvas, they’ll be proud to show off pictures any day of the week. Luckily, you can currently score a great deal on 8″ x 10″ canvas prints from Simple Canvas that they’re sure to love!

3. Walmart+ memberships are the perfect gift for grandparents who struggle to leave home. 

Any grandparent is going to love the ease of using Walmart+ and not having to leave home. It’s one gift they’re likely not expecting but will LOVE having to get their weekly groceries and other essentials delivered right to their door! Walmart+ aims to help you save on delivery, shipping, gas, and even video streaming. Your grandparents can even check off their own Christmas list or buy birthday gifts for grandkids year-round!

Walmart estimates a membership can save you up to $1,300 a year! 😱 In addition to savings, members can also earn Walmart Rewards. Read all about the awesome benefits of having a Walmart+ membership.

4. This gift idea can be purchased as a last-minute gift but is the most intentional and meaningful gift you can give.

StoryWorth is a gift for both the giver and the recipient. It’s such a special way to learn more about the people you love while honoring their past and preserving it for future generations so it couldn’t be more suitable for grandparents. Life is just too short to not say the things you want to say and share the things that are close to your heart, and StoryWorth gives you the space for that.

5. A single-serve Keurig is a great gift for Grandmas or Grandpas so they can make their coffee with ease. 

This single-cup Keurig has a slim profile, so it can easily fit in small homes, apartments, or even a nursing home room. It can brew cup sizes from 6oz to 12 oz., and even can hold up to a full brew if they accidentally forget the cup. 😉 If your grandparents love coffee but could stand to ditch their old-fashioned brewer, this will make the perfect upgrade.

6. Score an incredible deal on a device you can really connect with long-distance grandparents. 

The Echo Show 8 gives you the ability to connect and call loved ones, stream movies, view the weather, and LOTS MORE on its 8″ HD smart display! Once connected to Alexa, you can control compatible devices and use voice commands to view security camera footage, control lights, thermostats, and more. Their life will be so much simpler once you help your grandparents get this techy gadget hooked up!

Don’t need video? Consider this even more affordable option:

If you already spend a significant amount of time on Facetime and know your grandparent doesn’t need a way to video chat, then this Echo Pop is another affordable gift idea for under $20! They can play their favorite music, audiobooks, and podcasts, ask Alexa for weather updates, set timers, get answers to questions, and SO much more. They can even control compatible smart home devices with just your voice, or set routines to make their household run a little more smoothly.

7. A puzzle will help pass their time while being retired and is a gift they’ll be proud to show off. 

This fun, interactive puzzle is made of the highest quality chipboard and you can choose between 5 different color palettes and display three beautiful photos that perfectly preserve those special memories with grandparents. And yes, the message is also completely customizable so you can send just the right note whether you’re gifting to an individual grandparent or a pair!

8. Calendars give something for grandparents to look forward to.

A calendar is a gift for grandparents that will bring joy all year round. You can fill each page with photos that will bring back memories and make them smile every day. The best part about ordering one from Walgreens is that they’re almost always on sale and can be completely customized.

9. This handheld vacuum makes cleaning up messes for any age easier than ever.

Vacuums can tend to be too heavy for some grandparents to carry around and clean up on a daily or weekly basis so they may go without. We love this Shark vacuum because of its super compact size, powerful punch with a high-speed brushless motor, and it’s super versatile too. It’s ideal for countertops, cars, hard-to-reach corners, chair cushions, and more!

10. This cookie box is too sweet to pass up if your grandparents have a sweet tooth.

Food is the way to many people’s hearts and these Cheryl’s Cookies boxes will be perfect for curbing your grandparents’ sweet tooth. These delicious cookies come individually wrapped and freeze well too so it’s the perfect after-dinner treat they can keep stashed away. Better yet, they don’t always ship for free so grab this deal while you can! 🙌🏼

There’s nothing like quality time at grandma and/or grandpa’s house and any grandparent who knows it will LOVE showing off this funny doormat. It’s an especially great gift for younger kids to give to grandparents who often have them over for quality time and occasional sleepovers.

12. A fidget blanket is a great gift for a grandma or a grandpa with dementia. 

These fidget blankets (aka busy blankets) are the perfect idea for grandparents struggling with dementia or who may be bedridden. There are a plethora of finger exercises and sensory displays on this blanket from the sequins to the buckle, and more. Plus, you can even add a family image behind the buckle of the pocket lacing to keep your grandparent acquainted with your family when you’re not with them. They may forget who gave it to them, but it’s a gift that will likely provide hours of entertainment.

13. Younger grandkids will enjoy writing in this mini booklet so grandparents can treasure their sweet sentiments forever. 

The prompts in this booklet make it the perfect gift for younger grandchildren to give grandparents. Included are 12 letters that will inspire grandchildren to stay connected to their grandparents. So if you’re looking for something for your school-age child to give your parents that’s not too expensive, this could be the perfect idea!
