gifts for my grandmother?

I'm very close to my grandmother, but she has everything.  Of course, I want to get her something for Christmas, but I have no ideas...She is eighty nine and cognitively very with it...She does have heart disease...Any ideas?  Thanks!

Re: gifts for my grandmother?

  • These are things my Grandmother would like - Slippers, PJs, framed picture, book, tea sampler, a new apron, baked goods, one of her favorite old movies on DVD ...

    HTH!

  • I used to give my grandmother a basket filled with a greeting card assortment, stamps, some nice pens, stationary, etc so she was always ready to send a birthday or get well card.  She loved it!
  • calendar with pictures of you

    slippers from piddies on Etsy (LOVE, and my grandma loved hers)

  • We got DH's grandma a Sunggie.  She's always cold and even though she still lives on her own (at 97), she spends most of her time in a wheelchair so we figured this would be easy since she could just throw it over herself and not have to get up to put it on like she would with a traditional robe.  We may also get her some candy or food, food is always a big hit with her.
  • Thanks!  I got her a snuggie last year, and she loves it...
  • My Granny is 87 and we got her a jam sampler from Hickory Farms and some large print books.

  • how about a goodie box of her favorite things?   books, crafts, snacks, sweets, etc.   or a photo album/scrapbook with pictures of just the two of you?

  • a scrap book made by you is always a great idea get pictures from different family members throughout the years.....i made one for my mother and she loved it she even cried
  • I used to get my grandmother gift certificates from her hairdresser to get her hair done a couple of times.
  • I usually give my grandma basically the same thing every year: hazelnuts (which grow locally to me, but not her, and she adores), a framed picture of me and dh and a handmade ornament (usually by someone other than me).  Not terribly original, but it works for us.

  • Last year I gave my grandmother a photo collage of wedding pictures from our July wedding. We got married in July 2008 so still fairly new. This year we are giving her two sets of flannel pj's, a new pair of slippers and a cute fleece blanket with snowmen on it. I agree it is tough to shop for a grandmother...mine is 88!
  • I have to consider the fact that my gm is thinking of downsizing and moving. We didn't want to give her anything that was "clutter" we settled for a plant/flowers for the holiday. Like you said "she has everything".

  • My grandmother has everything! She told me she wants an apple pie that is sugar free (she's diabetic) so I'm baking her one.
