This collection of the best gift ideas will grandma will help you find something special for the grandmother in your life whether you’re shopping for Christmas, her birthday, a grandmother shower, or Mother’s Day.
I was always close to my grandmother. We spent so much time together she’d frequently tell people I was practically her fifth child!
Now that I have a daughter of my own, I enjoy watching her follow my mother around. She clearly loves her “Ga,” and I’ve never seen my mom smile as much as she does when she’s with our LG. She’s not the only person who’s found renewed joy in grandkids – research shows that being a grandparent is physical and mentally healthy.
Picking a gift that’s “just right” for the special grandmother in your life can be tricky, which is why I put together this guide to the best grandmother gift ideas. These items are all highly-rated and inspired by items like by grandmothers I personally know. I hope you enjoy and find something for the grandma in your family!
PS – You’ll also find a few “abuela” gifts for the Spanish-speaking grandmothers like our LG’s Abuela in Miami.

Sentimental and collectable gifts for grandmothers
Let’s start off with meaningful, sentimental, and collectable gifts for grandmothers.
There are several sweet Willow Tree keepsakes for grandmothers, including a small jewelry box, a grandma & child statue, and a three generations sculpture. A cousin gave my mom a Willow Tree sculpture as a grandma gift after my daughter was born and it’s still on her mantle!
My grandmother passed when my daughter was still an infant. We were very close, but I still wish I knew more about her. It would have been so wonderful if I’d thought to have her fill out a grandmother journal with details about her life.
