Well, if I were you I would go classic and stay away from electronics. But I don't know your grandma so I'm just going to assume:
-Candles
-Tea set
-Lotion
-Art
-Gloves + Scarf
-Book
-Make something for her
-Something from a joke/conversion you once had with her
-Those gifts from American Greetings, Hallmark and others
-Write her a long card with emotions (these are always the best to get)
Just don't get her something she already have and be sincere!

Oh, my grandma is often the hardest of my gifts to find, as she doesnt read, listen to music, watch movies, or wear anything but her one or two regular outfits. We all struggle. Often she ends up with newer versions of household items she has, like phones, or toaster, or alcohol. Sometimes a few of us go together and get her tickets to a play or a bus tour, or a new rocking chair, etc.
I tend to stick to decorative things, or collectibles. She loves hummingbirds, so I get her things to do with that, this year being a collector coin with a coloured hummingbird on it .
Sometimes fmaily portraits in nice frames are good if they dont already have tons.
One year I hired a local artist to draw a bird on commisison for her.

You can find many great gifts in the crafts section of the store. They have all kinds of kits that are good for hobbies or "for spending time with their grandchildren" You could get a kit that they would enjoy doing with you.
You can find anything from scrap booking kits, to iron on designs and decorations for purses or clothing, knitting, painting, wood burning..and much more.
Also, if they live in a good place for it, a bird feeder with some bird food would be nice, my Granny really loved and enjoyed hers!

Most grandmothers love pictures. Consider getting a nice photo album and filling it with personal photos.
Alternatively you can use an online source to "build" an inexpensive but attractive album or even buy a digital photo frame (8" or larger) that you can continue to fill each year.

Pictures can be nice, and appreciated. That's the best gift I've gotten lately - I don't really need more "stuff" but do enjoy pics of grandkids.
When my grandma was alive, and old (she lived to almost 99) I used to get her a basket of her favorite foods, things she wouldn't get for herself because they were too expensive.
If you live nearby, a promise of a couple dinners out with you could be real nice.

What kind of craft things do you do. How about taking a picture of your family and putting it in a frame that you have painted or crocheted or knit. I always loved things that my children made rather than bought, it was from the heart and a true keepsake!

Well, this is what I'm getting my grandmother:
Kirkland's was selling this nice brown picture frame with several picture slots. Engraved across the bottom it said "grandchildren."
It's a nice decoration for the wall, and you could even put the pictures in yourself.

A sweater. Old people love sweaters. Or, if you wanted to be funny, you could buy her sexy underwear from Victoria Secret.

How many grand-children can you gather together long enough to get group portaits? What does grandma like better than being able to see and show off pictures of their grand-babies?
