The best gifts for grandparents
Whether you’re on the hunt for a birthday, Christmas, anniversary gift, or simply want to treat your grandparents, here’s a pick of the best presents to make gift giving that extra bit special!
#1 A beautifully crafted photo album
Regardless of whether you choose a book or a tree, a personalised photo album is an amazing gift to reminisce through old family memories, or even new memories from just the other week! Bring your photos to life in a beautifully crafted photo album, or showcase them in a family tree picture frame.
#2 Ceramics with a personal touch
This gift will not just be a wonderful present to receive, but a great day out for the family as well. Take a trip to a ceramics café, paint your very own bowl, plate, or egg and toast plate! Let your creativity flow and get imaginative while creating your very own set of crockery for your grandparents. Let the children create a gift that’s as unique and personal as the relationship they have with their grandparents, find your local ceramic café here.
#3 A family calendar
Start planning for the year ahead with a family-sized wall calendar. Choose the style, colours and patterns then add in everyone’s names to create a calendar that is unique to your family. Add in birthdays, anniversaries and any other planned family activities so your grandparents can start looking forward to the year ahead!
#4 A designer tie or bowtie
A designer tie is a staple gift guaranteed to be treasured by your grandad, a Turnbull & Asser polka dot tie, or a Tom Ford velvet bow tie are the perfect accessory to add to your grandad’s collection. Look out for some Aspinal of London cufflinks or a Hugo Boss tiepin to add an extra element of surprise.
#5 An ultra-soft robe and slippers
Make lounging comfy and luxurious for your grandparents by gifting them with a pair of ultra-soft robes. Treat your grandparents to some indulgence in their home with a comfortable and warm robe! Check out M&S or UGG for the ultimate bathrobe, then pair with some ultra-warm slippers for an unforgettable cosy gift.
