Gifts for Grandma: 5 Gifts That Nourish, Care, and Share Love
Buying gifts for grandma can be hard to do, whether it’s for a birthday, the holidays, or any time of year. Often, these women already have much of what they need, or they don’t want to ask their beloved grandchildren for anything at all.
This can leave you in a tricky spot when a gift-giving occasion comes around and you want to find a perfect gift for grandma.
If you are looking for gifts for grandma that she will love (and doesn’t already have), here is a list of gifts that offer the care and love you want to share with her.
Especially for a winter holiday, tea is a wonderful gift for grandmas. A warm, soothing cup of organic, hand-harvested tea will keep her nourished and warm whenever she wants. This Harvest tea is hand-picked from a family farm in coastal Northern California and is packaged in a sleek metal container that is easy to open and will look lovely on her kitchen counter.
Made with homegrown tulsi, calendula, marigold, cornflower, and chamomile, this tea is caffeine-free and perfect for sharing with her favorite grandchild on a winter afternoon, or for her own calming nighttime ritual.
Pair it with a ceramic mug from a local maker, and you have the perfect gift that is budget-friendly but still feels rich and meaningful.
As you transition through life stages, your skincare often needs to evolve and change too. Older skin can often be dryer, and it calls out for more moisture and gentler ingredients.
This rich moon butter cream is thick and luxurious, and works as a facial cream or for areas on the body that need extra attention and care. For elbows and dry patches, this luminous cream is the perfect solution that nurtures without chemicals or harsh ingredients.
Perfect for a stocking stuffer or as part of a “self-care set” gift for grandma. To order a curated-for-you organically farmed skincare bundle, explore the Root Rise Bestseller Bundle.
There is no greater gift than a good night’s sleep, and a silk pillowcase makes getting into bed at night a heavenly experience. Not only is silk beneficial for skin and hair health, but resting your head on a silk pillowcase at night is so soft, comforting, and luxurious.
These naturally dyed silk pillowcases come in vibrant, rich hues from hand-harvested organic flowers grown on the California coast. Find one that matches your grandma’s bedroom decor or personal style, and give a luxurious gift she might not have ever tried before!
A handwritten card
Although it might feel like it’s not enough, the odds are good that a sincere, handwritten card will mean just as much as a gift for your grandma as any physical item you could give.
If you’re not a natural writer, here are some prompts to get you thinking:
What qualities does she have that you admire?
What is a favorite memory you have of time spent with her?
What is a quote that makes you think of her?
What lessons have you learned from her?
Write out a first draft on a separate piece of paper so there’s not as much pressure to get the card perfect on the first try. Even something that feels silly, like a list called “8 reasons I love my grandma”, can be an incredibly meaningful message for her to receive, as long as it’s from the heart.
A coupon for a shared activity or experience
Are you a talented nail artist? Do you know all the best hikes in your area? Offer to share some of your expertise or favorite activities as a gift for grandma! This is a great gift because you can turn something you love into a shared experience with someone who would love to spend more time with you.
Offer grandma a handmade coupon for a manicure or to invite her on your favorite local hike – or you can try experiencing something new together! An experience gift is a great choice for grandmas who already have everything they need because you don’t have to find a “thing” to give as a gift. Instead, you can make her day by giving her an experience she wouldn’t otherwise have had.
You can get tickets to a play, a local museum, a movie, or make plans to visit a spa or salon, an art-making studio, or a favorite restaurant together. Time spent together is the most precious gift, especially with an older family member.
