Gift Ideas for Grandmother

Your grandmother is just the one person you can trust the most in the world.

Full of hugs and cuddles, you are guaranteed to be greeted with a warm smile every time. No drama is too big for Grammy to deal with, and where Granddad may take the stern approach, there is only one way grans operate, with pure undivided love and attention.

She may be mad about bingo, a pro-baker or just baffled by technology, but we are sure you can choose from one of the great ideas below and make Grammy love you that little bit more (if it’s even possible to do that).

The ‘ONE’ gift a Grandmother WILL ALWAYS love you for?

A monthly visit and afternoon tea for two. Don’t forget to take some pics of what you get up to.

Only a Grandmother can…

• cook so well that she can make a boring salad into a 5-star dish.
• love everything and everyone.
• teach you how to never give up, with her iron will.
• give you great relationship advice because she just completely gets it.
• clean any stain out of any dress, shirt or rug, just test her!
• laugh at everything and never get stressed at anything, how does she do that?
• drop you in it and embarrass you when she shouldn’t.
• be beautiful inside and out.
• win any fight you put up, as grandma always wants to help.
• keep her house so clean, you’re too scared to go in.
• remember all of your accomplishments and forget all of your mistakes.
• make you feel she has been waiting to see just you, all day.

Most of all… hold our tiny hands for just a little while… but our hearts forever.

Buying gifts for grandmothers

She’s always available for you and even laughs at your jokes, even when they are not funny (never mind that they make no sense). She makes the biggest worries melt away in a tender hug and always listens with enormous depths of patience and empathy.

You probably don’t remember the last time your beautiful, protective granny said you were wrong, so do her (and us) a favour and don’t get her a gift that will break her faith in you.
