Choosing a gift for grandparents
Family is the gift: a digital photo frame you can fill from your phone, a photo book of the year, a memory journal they can fill in for the grandchildren. These get treasured long after gadgets are forgotten.
Comfort comes next: a heated throw, warm slippers, a hot water bottle. And if they have a hobby (the garden, jigsaws, crosswords, baking), something for it is always welcome.
With tech, keep it genuinely simple: one button, big text, nothing to set up. If it needs an app, offer to set it up for them on the day.
Questions
What do you buy grandparents who have everything?
Something personal (photos of the family, a memory journal), something comforting (a heated throw, slippers) or something for a hobby they love. Treats they can share, like good chocolates or a hamper, also go down well.
What is a good gift for grandad?
Comfort and hobbies: warm slippers, a quality flask, garden tools, a jigsaw or puzzle book, or a digital photo frame loaded with family photos.
What is a good gift for nan or grandma?
Cosy comforts (a heated throw, slippers), family keepsakes (a photo frame or book) and treats like chocolates, flowers or a luxury hand cream.
