15 Practical Gifts for Grandma (she’ll love them all!)

When it comes to buying gifts for our grandma – or Gigi, Mimi, Mamaw, Nana (the list of grandma names is infinite!) most of us suddenly draw a blank.  While Grandmas love pictures of their families, keepsakes, etc., they also love gifts they can use every day.  So we’ve put together a great list of 15 practical gifts grandma (or mother, mother-in-law) will love!  And don’t be surprised if you get a batch of homemade cookies after she gets one of these gifts  – we’re just sayin’.

Women’s Reading Glasses – Funky Styles

Set of 4 Reading Glasses with Cases.  Does your grandma love colorful florals and patterns?  Then this set of four funky women’s reading glasses (with matching cases, no less!) will be right up her alley.  Our panel’s favorite is the “mixed colors” set shown above – but there are many fun sets to choose from.  Now you just have to stealthily find out what strength she needs and you’re ready to go!  (Hint:  try asking your mom, grandpa, or just pick up  a pair of hers when you’re visiting!)

Quick Tip:  These would also be a great gift for moms, aunts, sisters, etc., who are around the magical age of 40 and up & use reading glasses. Except you can give them these non-boring, funky kind. 😉

Peeps Eyeglass Cleaner

Pamper Her with a Paraffin Wax Treatment at Home

Paraffin wax treatments have been done for many years at salons & spas to nourish and hydrate dry, cracked skin & more recently, to relieve all types of arthritis and joint pain.  Now she won’t have to go to a fancy spa to reap the benefits – she can have her own paraffin treatment at home!

Homedics Paraffin Wax Bath.  This bath “nourishes dry, cracked skin on hands, feet, & elbows” and “slowly releases heat into your sore and aching joints.”  She’ll definitely love that!

Quick Tip:  If you get her a paraffin wax bath, make sure it comes with wax and liners for her hands, so she can use it right away. 

Yarn Storage System – Portable

Portable crochet or knitting bag.  Does your grandma knit or crochet?  Get her one of these so she can do it wherever she is.  It has space for yarn & all the tools she needs!

Echo Dot with Alexa

Echo Dot.  This is probably the most awesome gift you can give her! (Provided she already has wi-fi, of course.)  She can make to-do lists, check the weather, listen to the news, stream music, all by just asking – the possibilities are endless!

Reading & Writing Gifts

As grandmas (and everyone else!) get a little older, sometimes they may need a little extra help in the vision department.  Depending on her age, if readers aren’t enough for her, you might consider getting her a magnifier.
