In our 2018 Mother’s Day Gift Guide, we can never forget a selection of our favorite Mother’s Day gifts for Grandma! There’s nothing that quite makes you appreciate a cool grandma more than having your own kids, and this is the perfect time to honor her sacrifices, her pinch-hitting babysitting offers, and even those spoil-the-kids gifts that you keep asking her not to bring. (Kidding!)
Hope you enjoy these wonderful Mother’s Day gifts for grandmas, nanas, grandmothers and omas of all kinds, whether they’re from you, from the grandkids, or you know… “from the grandkids.”
There’s been no compensation for inclusion in our guide. Just the stuff we love!

John Wind Celebrating Women Hoop Earrings
I love these conversation earrings from the artist’s newest collection, engraved with inspirational words like courage and love — and embellished with just enough Swarovski crystals to highlight her inner beauty, not take away from it.

Give her a coupon book toward 10 bedtime stories — in person, or over FaceTime — along with a favorite book she can read with the grandkids. She’ll swoon.
$8.99 paperback, Amazon
Children’s Signatures or Artwork on a Silver Key Chain
We are longtime fans of this wonderful shop, which can engrave signatures (perhaps all the grandchildren?), art, or a message of love onto all sorts of jewelry and accessories. She’s fast, and the prices are great for the quality.
$165 for extra-large keychain shown here, Metalmorphis
DIY Prize Ribbon Cake
Party master Abby Hunter created this spectacular cake for the Derby, but we think it translates perfectly for Mother’s Day! Pipe some frosting on each cookie ribbon to spell out NANA or just put #1 in each one. She’ll love it.
Tutorial, Handmade Charlotte
Cozy Long Women’s Bathrobe
A soft microfibre robe she’ll never want to get out of. And why should she? She’s earned a little lounge time! Throw in a spa gift card too, if you’re getting extra-generous this Mother’s Day.
$99, Nordstrom, available in multiple sizes and 12 colors
Genetic Testing Service to Research the Family Tree (Nat Geo)

All About My Grandma Photo Book
We also love the mom version of this photo book and are so happy to see one just for grandmas! Kids fill in prompts, you add photos…and ideally, Kleenex. Perfect.
$16.99, Pinhole Press
Wooden Perennial Garden Kit
If she’s a gardener, this is the perfect Mother’s Day gift for grandma. Even better, throw in some perennial seed packets for her favorite blooms, from Hyacinths to Hydrangeas, to Hollyhock.
