What is a great gift for your grandma for Christmas?

Answer 1

I'm a grandma and g-grandma and I really don't need any more dust collectors around my house. Since we usually have everything we need, I always just like to get flowers or a nice framed picture of my grand-children if I don't have a new one. I also like to get my favorite perfume or my favorite candy(which happens to be chocolate covered cherries). But please don't give me anymore knick knacks. :-) I also have a closet full of sweaters that I very rarely wear so scratch clothes also. I'm not into reading books, but I used to Crochet and didn't mind getting yarns.

Answer 2

How old is Grandma? If she is old enough that she stays home all the time then she would appreciate a book of stamps and a box of "all occasion cards". If she is young and still gets out a lot then any gift you would give your own mother would be good. My daughter always gives my mother a current school picture of herself in a frame. Another great idea that I've seen one of my clients get (she's 96) was a very special "scrapbook" of family photos...it took time to make it so well but it meant a lot to her.

Answer 3

My grandmother always liked something yummy or something homemade or sentimental. Really indulgent chocolates can be great if she is allowed to have them. You could make her an ornament - maybe with a picture of the 2 of you together. Knit her a scarf. One of those calendars that has family pictures in it (Kinko's used to do them at a good price). A picture in a frame or a locket with pictures in it.

Alternatively, you could get her something that you like. I once gave my grandma my own sunglasses and she loved them, even though they were mirrored john lennon specs with the color gradient - but they suited her just perfectly (and she looked adorable in them too!). Wouldn't it be great if you had a cd that you loved and it turned out she really dug it too?

Peace!

Answer 4

Scented candles are always good. A cardigan is also a good gift. This year I'm giving Grandma something called 'Gift in a Jar.'

Answer 6

I don't know if you're into crafts, but one year I made for my friends grand-mother, a basket of bears. Each one representing a member of the family. The grand-parents bears were the biggest, their children were the next smaller size bears, the grandchildren were the smallest. I dressed them up, put their names on ribbons (girls) and suspenders (boys) and decorated a big basket to put them in. I was told that on Christmas day, the family had fun looking for their bear! :-)

Answer 7

Visiting her on Christmas or hosting her at your home (if she is still alive). I, on the other hand, will be sending to my grandmothers on Christmas a small display for the gravesights and my wishes that they are enjoying the peace they need after long, hard lives. (They died when I was very young -- in my childhood).

Answer 8

I bought my Grandma this beautiful Angel statue this one year and she liked it so much that she cried. You could also frame a picture of yourself with a loving "Grandma" poem framed underneath of it.

Answer 9

I am making my grandma a scrapbook calendar (you can usually find them at places that sell calendars) and I will decorate it with photos of my family throughout the years.

Answer 10

I usually always get my grandma a nik nak saying how much i love her and how much she means to me and then i also usually get her a useful around-the-house kinda thing. you know like a cool new clock, an old timey phone that'll remind her of the "good old days" lol. Hope it helped.
