65 Best Gifts for Grandma

You've given her a lot of presents over the years, but one of these unique ideas is sure to be her favorite yet.

When it comes to picking out great gifts for all the women in your life, your grandma is likely at the top of your list. After all, she's the matriarch of the family, even if she has daughters and granddaughters who are all mothers too! But because she has already celebrated countless birthdays and Mother's Day has come and gone, you're going to have to really dig to find something unique for her this time around. But wait, actually, we did the digging for you, and found the best gifts for grandma.

When you're shopping for women in their 50s, 60s and older, it's all about getting them something that shows them how much they mean to you, and that doesn't always equal a mug or keychain that says "World's Best Grandma" on it (you know she already has at least one of those anyway!). Instead, think of ways you can honor what she's done for you and your family, help her if she's dealing with a particular alignment or encourage her new hobbies now that she's retired. And when all else fails, you can look to a trendy or popular item that will blow her mind.

So whether you're shopping for your grandma, nana, abuela, memaw — you get the idea — there's something she's absolutely going to love, even if she has everything. And even though she's guaranteed to love them, you won't have to break the bank to find a great present. Many of the ideas here are under $30, because you know you'll never hear the end of it if you spend what she thinks is too much on her.
