How do you even begin to show all your love and appreciation for the woman who started it all? We’re speaking, of course, about the grandmas. Whether you call her Mimi, Gigi, Nana, Nonna, or Abuelita, getting a Mother’s Day gift for Grandma lavishes her with the love and attention she deserves all year round... and, of course, really nice presents. Because if anyone deserves to be seen for her unique personality and style, it’s her. We’ve gathered a diverse list of Mother’s Day gifts for Grandma, because, cards on the table, we know you might need help. That’s not on you, either: She’s already gotten a lot of Mother’s Day gifts over the years and you could use some inspiration.
We’ve found Mother's Day gifts for Grandma that run the Nana gamut, from sentimental tokens that will remind her of her favorite people (her grandbabies — like your actual kids, but better) to jewelry (much of which will also remind her of her grandkids, because that’s clearly what she wants) to home decor (that, again, say it with me, will remind her of her grandkids), and more. She’s a special lady, after all. And while one Mother’s Day gift won’t be enough to convey just how much you love and appreciate her, it’s certainly a start.

7For The Proud Grandma
There are few populations more likely to tell you what they’re feeling via a T-shirt than grandmas, so we think this one is perfect. My grandmother always said that she was never happier than when she was surrounded by her grandchildren, and based on how she acted around us I believe her. Available in a variety of colors.
8For The Spiritual Grandma
A potent symbol throughout cultures and religions, the Tree of Life represents unity, connection, family, and the life cycle. This lovely stained glass depiction, which shows the tree of life amid the four seasons, is the perfect decoration to catch the light and bring color into Grandma’s home (even when you're not there to flash her your even brighter winning smile — we all know you’re the favorite).
9If She Needs More Grandkid Pictures
9If She Needs More Grandkid Pictures
$19 at AmazonI’m a big fan of custom prints, but it’s always difficult to know which online shops can reliably deliver a clear, well-done picture.
Canvas Champ is hands-down my favorite. Customize canvas size, orientation, and more for the perfect picture for the perfect spot in Grandma's house. Might I suggest a group picture of all the grandchildren? You can’t go wrong with that.

10For The Grandma Who Loves Being Outside

Here’s the thing about moms, whether or not they’re grandmas: We’re the ones with a huge bag carrying everyone’s stuff. This bag puts a little humor on our unavoidable destiny.

12For The Scatterbrained Grandma
$10 at AmazonIf Grandma is constantly losing the most basic necessities, even while sitting on the couch, this is the (practical!) gag gift for her. It’s a three-in-one: comfy pillow plus remote control holder plus a place for her glasses... though we’re guessing she’ll still “lose” those on top of her head or around her neck.

13For Tea For Two
$60 at AmazonSome of my favorite memories with my mom and grandma have been where we’re all sitting together over a nice cup of tea, and it was always especially nice when we made a thing of it with nice china and teapot. This beautiful set stacks nicely and is perfect for a cozy tea for two.
14For The Grandma With Aches and Pains
Grandma Life is not for the weak. Sometimes, in all that playing and spoiling grandkids, a lady can develop sore calves, a bad shoulder, or an achy back. This powerful (and we do mean powerful) massage gun can help her feel her best, with many different attachments and sensitive speed and pressure controls.
15For The Grandma With Beautiful Penmanship
Look: Grandma may never be able to get her phone or computer to work, but we’re willing to bet she has prettier handwriting than everybody under 70 in your family combined. This fountain pen, made from bamboo, comes in a lovely gift box and makes writing anything down feel just a little more elegant.

16For Grandma’s Favorite Garden
This customizable sweatshirt is perfect for two reasons: One, if Grandma is always cold (mine is), this will be her new favorite pullover. Why? That brings us to two, which is the fact that it can be customized with her grandkid’s names and birth flowers. Truly there’s no better garden than one full of her favorite people.
17For Your Grandma From Her Favorite
Look, she can swear up, down, and sideways that she doesn’t have a favorite grandchild and that you’re all her favorite in your own special ways, but you know the truth — and now, with this mug, so will she. Honestly, it was about time you made it official.
18For The Grandma Who Loves to Host
I never understood when people started calling charcuterie boards “trendy.” How can it be trendy when it’s always been good and beloved? Your hostess-inclined grandma will love this set of two boards, including one that expands to fit loads of treats and stores an assortment of cheese knives and accouterment underneath. Perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch.

19For The Grandma Who's Always In The Kitchen
I’m sure many of us have fond memories of baking and cooking with our grandmas who were experts in the culinary arts despite never having studied. Of course, some grandmas manage to burn water. This gift isn’t for them. But it’s perfect for the ones who love letting grandkids lick the spatula.
