47 Mother’s Day Gifts for Grandma That She’ll Brag About All Year

Meemaw is a natural-born storyteller, and this Storyworth gift includes a voucher for two gorgeous hardcover keepsake books, which she’ll get to load with her favorite memories and stories compiled via email. That’s right, Storyworth makes it easy by sending one email prompt per week with questions like, Who has been the biggest influence on your life? What are your favorite books? and What was one of the best dates you’ve been on? If she’s not liking that week’s prompt, she’ll have the option to edit it, write her own question or swap it out for one of her choosing from the StoryWorth library. From there, her answers will be posted to her account (and, yes, she can even edit old submissions) and the entries will be printed into a luxurious 6x9-inch hardcover book at the end of the year.

Grandma deserves a beautiful bouquet of her favorite peonies, and 1-800-Flowers.com makes it happen quickly and efficiently. According to the company, they’ll be sent fresh from their premier farms and be at an open bud stage, which means they will begin to reach full bloom a day or two after they get to her doorstep, so she’ll be able to really enjoy her bouquet without any of the flowers arriving wilted. You can even make her gift extra special by having it delivered in a blue vase, clear glass jar or country-esque wicker glass vase for an extra fee.

If your grandma’s always making fresh batches of coffee because her morning brew went cold, then she’s going to be amazed by this self-heating mug. Like magic, the NextMug has a docking coaster that’s designed to keep her beverage at her desired temperature, so she never has to sip a lukewarm drink again. All she has to do is press the on/off button and toggle between three temperatures (130 degrees, 140 degrees and 150 degrees Fahrenheit) to get going, and she’ll also receive a charging cord and lid for times when she needs to take it on the go.

Warning: This white gold plated necklace for Grandma will release the water works, so get some tissues ready. It has more than 1,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, and buyers love that it’s affordable, unique and personal with the interlocking infinite heart design symbolizing your bond with Grandma. “My grandma loves this,” notes one Amazon customer. “It looks so chic on her, and she even got a compliment because someone thought it was a Tiffany necklace! [It’s] great quality and [has a] very cute and sweet saying on the packaging.”

The grandkids want to show Grandma their appreciation, too, this Mother’s Day. This small book contains a bunch of fill-in-the-blanks for the kids to complete and describe why Grandma is the G.O.A.T. (aka, the greatest of all time) with entries like, I love how you always say ________ and If you were a type of pie, you’d be ________.  Their silly and sentimental answers just might make her laugh, cry and feel all the love and appreciation she deserves. 

If your grandma is an undiscovered budding writer, amateur photography or baking pro, whipping up a carrot cake and pumpkin pie on the daily, then she’ll love receiving a Masterclass subscription. With the popular membership, Grandma will get access to heaps of online video instruction from more than 180 leaders in their field, such as Margaret Atwood, Samuel L. Jackson, James Patterson (her fav) and more. All which she can watch on her phone, computer or streaming media players like Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV.

The best gift you can give a grandma with an impressive handbag collection is one that you can’t find anywhere else, like this *personalizable* tote from Leatherology that I bet she’ll want to wear every day. The full grain leather is supple, soft and luxe, making the already stylish design even more special once you personalize the bag—which comes in five colorways, including a bright turquoise and orange—with her initials. “I am an avid fan of Leatherology,” says one buyer. “The leather soft, [and] the bag is lightweight with a great magnetic clasp. I only want shoulder bags with a deeper drop handle, so this is perfect if you want some more room when carrying on your shoulder and it’s not restrictive.” It even comes with a detachable interior pouch she can use to keep all her small essentials organized.

As soon as I saw this blouse, I knew my grandma would love it. She’s human sunshine with the most vivacious personality, so this vibrant floral print is right up her alley. Another reason I know she’ll adore this cotton blend piece: She only wears tops that have three-quarter length sleeves and a boat neck design (a woman after my own heart) because they’re classy and give her enough coverage to feel confident.

This Mother’s Day, finally see the Broadway show you two have been gushing about for the last few years. TodayTix makes it so easy to shop for tickets to tons of live shows in major cities all over the world, including Los Angeles, New York and London, to name a few. Think: Wicked, Cirque du Soleil and The Book of Mormon. There are also plenty of shows that feature discounted prices on great seats, so you can score a really good deal, but the face she’ll make once she see’s the tickets will be priceless.

In my opinion, going out for Mother’s Day brunch is a little overrated—after all, you can’t stay in your PJs. That’s why this year, I personally might just be treating my Mimi to a fancy Mother’s Day brunch at home. This shipment comes with four english muffins, ten heart-shaped waffles, a cinnamon swirl, lemon vanilla blueberry loaf cake, blueberry preserves, butter, maple-flavored syrup and, of course, Tiffin blend ground coffee so the only prep work she has to do is turn the oven on.

If you want to win the favorite grandchild award, then you might want to consider gifting Nana a custom watercolor painting that she can add to her gallery wall. An artist will hand-paint your desired image (that you’ll email after submitting your order) on a premium heavyweight cotton-rag textured paper that’ll bring out every last detail and paint stroke. Best of all? You get full approval of the painting before it ships out, guaranteeing your satisfaction with the piece. “I couldn’t be happier,” raves Jessica M., who purchased a custom portrait from this Etsy seller. “[It’s] a truly beautiful piece of art that will [make] a treasured gift…[and it was] delivered on time with care.”

It’s a tool bag. It’s a stool. And it’s bound to be her most-used gift this spring. She’ll be able to easily tote her trowels, shovels and picks, while also having a comfortable outdoor perch for hours of potting and planting in the garden.

Since Grandma retired, she has a *ton* of time on her hands and has expressed some interest in traveling more. With a Tablet Plus membership—which she can try out for free with their 30-day trial before the yearly $99 fee kicks in—you’ll help scratch some destinations off her bucket list because she’ll receive access to a library of luxury travel destinations, member-only discounts on top stays and travel experts that can assist her. Think: Tuscan villas in Italy, relaxing casitas in Mexico and chic flats in London. Plus, plenty of dreamy destinations only available for Plus members. All of the luxury boutique hotels are highly rated, too—no seriously, if a hotel gets a poor review, it’s removed. What’s more, as a Tablet Plus member, she’ll be treated like the queen she is, thanks to the member privileges and VIP treatments, such as room upgrades, hotel credit, daily breakfast, late check-out and so much more, like she deserves. The only problem? She just might like it so much, you might not get to see her as often since she’ll be traveling the world.

Your grandma is the best storyteller you know, and this guided journal has over 200 questions and six chapters designed to record her life story, from juicy questions like, How old were you when you had your first kiss? and At what age did you first try alcohol? to more thought-provoking prompts like, Describe places where you spent most of your free time growing up. It’ll make a great memento that she can pass down one day.

Show Nana how much you love her with this handmade mug she can use to enjoy her morning cup of joe, which includes a nutrition label specific to Grandma that lists all her best qualities, from her storytelling capabilities to her unmatched love. The mug can hold up to 11 ounces of her favorite hot or cold beverage and can be placed in the dishwasher and microwave without cracking, peeling or fading. I guarantee she’ll think of her perfect grandkids every time she reaches for it.

Help Nana hang this stunning suncatcher on her windowsill this Mother’s Day. The floral and leaf motif is made from a delicate stained glass, making the ultimate gift for the art and plant lover. Many buyers rave about the quality and say that it’s even more beautiful in person.

Say happy Mother’s Day to the world’s greatest grandma with this all-natural soy wax candle. It boasts a 45-hour burn time and emits one of her favorite smells: lavender. And every time you get a whiff of it when you visit her, you’ll be reminded of her famous lavender cookies or lavender-scented soap. Amazon customer James W. says, “The scent brings back all of the good ‘ole memories of my Granma. It’s like hugging her and the scent says it all! It's kind of magical that a scent will take you to the time when you visit grandma—you still remember how her house smells, her cooking, doing the laundry and even just sitting at the porch.”

If your grandma seems a little high-strung lately (who isn’t these days?), treat her to The Nue Co.’s Magnesium Ease. It's packed with magnesium, which is proven to help with sleep, muscle recovery and heart function, so she'll feel totally relaxed when she heads off to bed. (Psst: You might want to tell her to rub it into the bottoms of her feet.) After all, a relaxed grandma is a happier grandma, right?

Gammie already has an impressive blanket collection, but does she have a throw with some of her favorite photos and memories throughout the years? Answer: Not yet. Surprise her with this jacquard woven blanket in one of two sizes (54x70 inches or 60x80 inches) that’ll feel soft and cozy to the touch. All you have to do is add 12 photos, or play around with Shutterfly’s many designs and layouts—there’s even a single-photo layout that’s perfect to display hers and Gramp’s wedding photo for a walk down memory lane.

Seeing a gift tag that reads, To: Meemaw, From: Baby, is enough to make her Mother’s Day, especially once she opens it and sees that it’s written about her from her grandkid’s point of view. This personalized keepsake has a selection of four cover colors and can include up to four children’s names and characters. Don’t forget to add your own dedication to the book for an extra special touch she can read and re-read before getting to the crux of the story. Looks like we know what bedtime book she’s reading to the kiddos the next time they sleep over.

Gardening gloves that are almost too cute to work in? Yeah, grandmas with a green thumb will adore these. They’re made with a breathable cotton knit fabric that boasts a cute metallic bumblebee print perfect for the busy bee herself. They’ll be really effective the next time she needs to pull some weeds, thanks to the grippy dotted pattern on the reverse side.

A beautiful flower arrangement from Bouqs will take Grandma’s breath away this Mother’s Day. The company uses sustainably sourced flowers picked fresh from farms for all their bouquets. They have hundreds of arrangements to choose from on their website, including special Mother’s Day arrangements, so you can make sure you’re sending her blossoms she adores. There are bunches with all lilies, tulips or roses, plus plenty of mixed stems, too, with thistles, agapanthuses, hydrangeas and so much more. If you’re a last-minute gift giver, make sure to check out the next-day and same-day delivery arrangements that’ll make it to her doorstep just in time. (Don’t worry, no one will tell her.)

Your abuela never misses her neighborhood walks. The only problem? She can’t remember the last time she replaced her athletic shoes, so she needs a pair that’ll keep her feet stable, protected and comfortable. That’s where these walking and lifestyle shoes from Hoka come in. They’re equipped with a super-soft, lightweight materials, like hemp and recycled polyester heel webbing, that are designed to make Grandma’s steps feel comfortable and light as a feather.

Once you gift Grandma a Book of the Month subscription, she’ll get to devour a new novel that’ll ship directly to her doorstep without ever having to make the trek to the library or bookstore. First, she’ll need to download the Book of the Month app on her phone. Then, at the end of every month, she’ll receive a list of five buzzy new titles to choose from and a credit to purchase one of them, so she’ll never be without new reading material. 

Grandma deserves a good night’s rest, and this comfortable pajama set from Cozy Earth, which comes in two lengths (regular and tall) and an inclusive size range XS to XXXL, will help her fall into a deep sleep. The luxurious fabric consists of 95 percent premium viscose from bamboo and five percent spandex, so the PJs are especially great if she experiences night sweats or simply wants something stretchy. She’ll think that the pockets are a great touch, too.

If she enjoys a cup of tea, then your grandmother will appreciate receiving this bamboo wooden tea chest from quality tea maker Harney & Sons. It’s filled with a total of 90 teabags and nine flavors pre-selected form the company’s premium tea bag collection, including signature sachet teas like an English breakfast, chai, peppermint and a hot cinnamon spice, to name a few.

This cat and kitten-themed vintage puzzle is such a great gift for the grandma who won’t go anywhere without her beloved Mr. Whiskers. There are 1,000 pieces tucked away inside a muslin hand sewn bag she’ll have a blast putting together while Cole Porter plays in the background. “The finished puzzle is just gorgeous,” says one Amazon reviewer. “The pieces are sturdy and fit together nicely. It was challenging enough but not difficult, [and] the tubular box that displays beautifully on the bookshelf.”

Everyone loves Nonna’s cooking and, even more so, her desserts, and these matching aprons make such a thoughtful gift from her little helper. One Etsy customer wrote: “These aprons turned out amazing! It was the most heartfelt gift I could give my mom from my son. It brought tears to my mom’s eyes. They both enjoy baking together and can now do so in matching aprons.” The adult apron, which measures 27 inches long and 26 inches wide, has extra-long ties and three pockets at the bottom that can hold her measuring spoons, thermometer and secret ingredients. The children’s apron comes in two sizes (small and large) for kids between preschoolers to early elementary and nine- to 13-year-olds.

You’ve always admired Gram’s impressive kitchen gadget collection, and Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to help her add to it. We suggest giving her this best-selling KitchenAid 5-quart stand mixer, which has 10 speeds that can accommodate nearly any recipe and comes with a flat beater, dough hook, wire whip and a pouring shield. It'll give her a hand when whipping up everything from chocolate chip cookie dough to pancake batter thanks to its easy-breezy functions.

GiGi loves nothing more than to be in the kitchen whipping up a three-course meal for the grandkids. But to be honest, her 20-year-old cookware has seen better days. Luckily, you can help her replace eight pieces in one fell swoop by gifting her the Always Pan. The multitasking design does the work of a fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan spatula and spoon rest. Plus, it’ll look great perched on her cooktop. Oh, and did I mention that it's oven-safe (up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit), too?

After you sign Nonna up for this tea subscription, she’ll get multiple full-sized bags of loose-leaf tea delivered straight to her door every month. Her first box will come with a reusable tea infuser and cute tea steeper too. “I love this box, always a wonderful sampling of tasty seasonal teas. Great combo of caffeinated, non-caffeinated and herbal teas,” writes one happy subscriber.

This device is a total godsend for keeping in touch with Grandma. Why? Well, it totally eliminates the hassle of having to hold up your phone or adjust the camera like you would on FaceTime or Skype. Simply set the Echo Show on a flat surface, and the camera automatically keeps Meemaw front and center, thanks to its auto-framing and motion sensor capabilities. Plus, users say the sound and picture quality are much better than other video chat platforms, making it easier to have clear conversations. Don’t forget to show her how to ask Alexa all her pressing questions.

This roomy duffle makes it easy for Nanny to organize everything she could possibly need for a weekend getaway at your house, which is her favorite destination. In fact, it was ranked as one of the best weekender bags at PureWow. The water-resistant neoprene bag includes plenty of pockets, a laptop sleeve, top carry handles and an optional crossbody strap. But our favorite feature has to be the clever separate pocket for shoes.

If your grandmother has a habit of staying up late worrying about everything, surprise her with a weighted blanket. Their soothing pressure has been shown to relieve anxiety and induce sleep. And yes, she can use it in warm weather, too. “I have had this blanket for over four years, and it is still my absolute go-to. It's able to be washed (without ripping) and air dried,” writes one Amazon reviewer. I suggest you refer to the brand’s size and weight chart to figure out which weight is best for your grandma.

Looking to get Mom a gift “from the kids”? Go with this sweet fill-in-the-blank book. It’s full of prompts like ‘I love it when you _____’ and ‘I think you are so cool because _____’ which you can help the little ones fill out in their own handwriting for a present that’s sure to make her tear up.

Chances are, every family recipe you love came directly from your grandma. Add your own recipes to this customizable book and leave the rest of the pages blank, which has space for over 80 recipes, for her to write down the instructions for her famous meatballs, chicken potpie and German chocolate cake. There are even designated spots for her to write down helpful tips, ingredients and more.

Gran’s been talking about growing her houseplant collection forever—she just can’t stomach how expensive they’ve gotten. Solve that problem by getting her this plant propagation potting mix so she can grow her brand-new monstera in from her fresh cuttings. The mix is a high drainage mixture that includes perlite, peat moss, worm castings and lime, which helps balance the pH levels. This way, she’ll be able to sprout some new plant babies from her thriving philodendron.

She’ll take any excuse she can get to hang some more pictures of the great grandkids on the fridge, but this personalized calendar will actually be pretty useful, too, and she’ll love that she can flip through some of her favorite memories with the whole fam. When you customize it, make sure to include important dates like family birthdays and anniversaries for her so all she has to do is remember to write in her next doctor’s appointment.

CBD helps relieve muscle soreness and inflammation, and it can also work wonders for people with arthritis and general aches and pains. This non-greasy cream packs a potent dose of 180 milligrams of CBD for nearly immediate relief, and Grandma will love how cooling the eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils will feel on her skin.

She’ll take any excuse to tell everyone about her grandkids, so give her a piece of jewelry that does the bragging for her. With the option of one heart and up to eight engraved tags for the whole brood, this 14-karat gold-filled necklace will keep her family close by at all times, and she’ll get her choice between three chain lengths: 16, 18 and 20 inches.

Give her a gift card for a Winc wine subscription and your grandma can choose new bottles of white, red, sparkling and rosé wine from all over the world—from Bordeaux, France to Mendoza, Italy to Monterey, California—to try per month. Start with the one- or two-month option and if she likes it, you can treat her to a whole year’s-worth of wine at a later date.

We can only hope to one day be as chic as Gran. One accessory she never leaves the house without? A perfectly knotted silk scarf. Treat her to a new vibrant design courtesy of Coach for summer and she’ll think of you every time she ties it around her neck. Made from 100 percent silk, this timeless accessory features the brand’s signature Horse and Carriage motif and can be worn a ton of ways, whether it’s draped around her neck, tied into her hair or twisted into the top handle of her purse, but I bet Nana already knows that.

Grammy’s walls are already covered in picture frames, so get her a smart digital version to place on the entry table. Family and friends can load it with snaps from recent vacations and scanned photographs from her childhood through the Aura app at any time. If you anticipate her needing help connecting it to the WiFi, you can preset it ahead of time and all she’ll have to do is plug it in. The frame will come packaged in the company’s premium gift box and there’s a place in the app to add a video message or photo with a personal note that she'll see as soon as she turns it on. 

“I just got this new Fitbit and I’m amazed by how it can do so many things,” one grandma told us during the holidays, referring to built-in GPS, fitness tracking, call and texting features. There was just one problem: She couldn’t seem to get the Fitbit app on her phone to sync up with it at first, so she suggests that if you’re going to get your grandma one for Mother’s Day, be sure to offer to sit with her to set it up. The Sense model is equipped to monitor her heart rhythm for irregularities, plus access her sleep, stress, blood glucose and so much more.

Speaking of getting her steps in, after an hour-long stroll with her walking club to get, this heated foot massager will come in handy. To be honest, we want one for ourselves, but borrowing hers gives us another excuse to visit. The shiatsu foot massage provides three levels of kneading and intensities, making her 15- or 30-minute R&R sesh that much more relaxing.

Her vision isn’t 20/20 anymore, but she still tries to keep up with every single Danielle Steel novel. With Audible, she can listen to her books instead of reading them, and she’ll get a credit which she can use to purchase a title of her choice from Audible’s premium selection (regardless of the price). Plus, she’ll be able to multitask. (Knitting and “reading,” anyone?)
