There are many different journals made specifically for grandmas, that help them capture memories with their grandchildren and serve as a beautiful keepsake to look back on.
There’s even one especially for first-time grandmothers. Different versions of these journals can all be found on Amazon for a low price.
3. Baking kit
Grandmas are known to always be in the kitchen whipping up sweet treats for their grandkids.
If your grandma is one that spends a lot of time in the kitchen, baking supplies make a great Mother’s Day gift.

The key to this gift is to make sure they don’t already have the items you’re buying. To do this, think outside the box, by purchasing items that are practical, but also unique.
For example, a customized apron with a sweet message across the front makes for a practical and unique gift for grandma that she can use each time she bakes.
Think about items that may need replacing, like mixing bowls with a fun design or customized oven mitts.
You could also gift a cookbook or baking book along with this gift to inspire new recipes.
4. Gardening set
Since Mother’s Day falls in the spring, gardening tools and yard decor make for a very timely and useful gift for grandmas.
Whether your grandma enjoys tinkering around in her yard, planting flowers each year, or tends to a full vegetable garden, outdoor working tools make for a great gift.

5. Book-themed gift
If your grandma can spend hours curled up with a good book, use that as inspiration for your Mother’s Day gift.
This book-themed gift can include a copy of a novel, of course, but also a small throw blanket for her to use while she reads, bookends for organization, or maybe even a new pair of reading glasses.
A notebook and pens are also a great addition to this themed gift, so she can write down her thoughts as she works her way through the new book.
6. Coffee lover’s present
Many people start their morning with a hot (or iced) cup of Joe. If your grandma can’t start the day without coffee in hand, gift her a beautiful customized mug, an organizer for her coffee pods or a warmer to keep her cup of coffee toasty.
Purchase a coffee sign for her to display in her house, or a rack to hang all her favorite coffee mugs.

7. Framed collage
Using an app, make a collage of up to 200 images to show a special matriarch how much you care through the company Keepsake.
Select the frame style and add a personalized message, caption or note directly onto the collage for another thoughtful flourish.
This gift will allow your grandmother to frame and decorate her home with pictures of you and other cherished family memories.
This gift has the perfect mix of sentimentality and affordability, making it a great selection for Mother’s Day.
