Gifts for Grandparents They'll Treasure
From the editors
Grandparents always say they don't need anything, and they're usually right. What they want is more time and more love from the grandkids. That's why we love gifts that feel personal: keepsakes, photo gifts, things to do together, and sweet surprises the kids can help pick out. Here are our favorite gift ideas for grandmas and grandpas.

Good questions
Frequently asked
What do you get grandparents who have everything?
Gifts that are personal and connect them to the grandkids: photo books and frames, keepsakes made by the kids, recorded stories, or time together like a planned outing. Grandparents rarely need things; they love meaning.
What is a good gift for grandma?
Personalized keepsakes, a cozy upgrade, a great book, or a handmade gift from the grandkids are always winners. See our grandparent gift guide and DIY gifts kids can make.
What's a good gift for grandpa who has everything?
Go for a shared experience, a framed family photo, a hobby upgrade, or a gift the grandkids helped make. The story behind the gift matters most.
