Amazon
All-new Kindle Paperwhite, available at Amazon, $140
The latest version of the Kindle Paperwhite is the thinnest and lightest yet, plus it’s waterproof and has a longer-lasting battery. She can read a good book anywhere now — and carry a whole library around with her.

For the grandma that loves to bake, a mini donut maker is a kid-friendly way for her to make donuts with her grandchildren.
LaSenada/Etsy
Grandma Bracelet, available at Etsy, $14
When it comes to grandparents, it can be difficult to find gifts that provide meaning without feeling cheesy. This bracelet and its message strike this delicate balance well, and she’ll be especially proud to wear it.
Amazon
Bionic Women’s Relief Grip Gardening Gloves, available at Amazon, $34
Gardening is a rewarding hobby, but it can be tough on your hands. A pair of sturdy gardening gloves can help grandma get back into the garden. We particularly like this supportive pair designed by an orthopedic hand surgeon or a $3 pair of rubber gloves that landscapers swear by.
HexClad
Hybrid 8-inch Pan, available at Hexclad, $90
She may have avoided nonstick so far, but the Hexclad 8-inch Pan is a great introduction to the material. It is dishwasher safe, compatible with every stovetop, and near-indestructible according to our tests, which is why it made our list of Insider’s top 100 products. The proprietary diamond-dust construction makes the pan nonstick without the use of PFOAs or Teflon.
Williams Sonoma
No Kid Hungry Spatulas, available at Williams Sonoma, $10
If Grandma is always busy in the kitchen, she can never have too many spatulas. Choose from one of the sweet designs in the Williams Sonoma No Kid Hungry collection. Not only will she love the colorful images, but she’ll appreciate that 30% of the cost goes towards eliminating childhood hunger.
Amazon
The New York Times Crossword 2022 Calendar, available at Amazon, $14
“The New York Times” daily crossword puzzles are iconic, and there’s a good chance that Grandma looks forward to them each morning. This calendar has a new crossword for each day of the year, and the answers can be found right on the back.
Greetabl
Personalized Greetabl box, prices vary
Choose a cute box design, personalize it with photos and a message, and fill it with a small gift like candy or a candle to surprise the grandma who insists she already has everything she wants.
Amazon
Jot & Mark Recipe Card Box, available at Amazon, $28
Handwritten recipes are pieces of family history. Maybe your grandma keeps them all in her head or has a paper collection, but either way, a beautiful recipe card box will keep the delicious family legacy organized and intact.
Amazon
Luna Adult Weighted Blanket, available at Amazon, from $45
If she’d appreciate better, deeper sleep or a way to combat some anxiety, we’d recommend a weighted blanket. While research is still limited, recent studies show positive indications that weighted blankets can help reduce insomnia and ease anxiety.
Our staff consistently rank weighted blankets as one of the most impactful sleep upgrades we’ve made — and Luna is our top-rated budget pick. It’s breathable, machine-washable, Oeko-Tex Certified, and a great quality item for the price.
Amazon
AncestryDNA kit, available at Ancestry, $59
Curious about family history? This AncestryDNA test tells you more about your genetic ethnicity — and opens up rich conversations about family heritage and personal stories. We like Ancestry because it surveys an extensive population and links you with relatives.
Urban Stems
A floral bouquet is a timeless gift, and a great way to show grandma you’re thinking of her from far away. UrbanStems is the best flower delivery service we tested — gorgeous bouquets arrived unharmed and fresh from Boston to rural Colorado. Since this service has gifts for as low as $45 and offers same-day delivery in some cities, it’s on our list of the 100 best products we’ve ever tested.
Bombas
Women’s Compression Socks, available at Bombas, from $24
Bombas makes some of our all-time favorite socks; they’re soft and designed for next-level support, but they also last forever. We’d recommend any pairs from them, but compression socks may be especially thoughtful if your grandmother has ever mentioned swelling or achy legs.
Etsy
Engraved Cutting Board, available at Etsy, $49
If your family has cherished recipes, preserve one in your loved ones’ handwriting on an engraved cutting board that’s as sentimental as it is practical. This takes from two to three weeks to arrive, so order in advance.
Food52
Raaka 8-Bar Organic Chocolate Gift Box, available at Food52, from $30
This set of organic chocolate bars comes with flavors she’s probably never tried before, like cabernet sauvignon, green tea crunch, ginger snap, and more. Plus, the box has a booklet that lets her go behind the scenes and see how Raaka sources and creates its single-origin chocolate bars. If she has a serious sweet tooth, we have plenty of chocolate suggestions for her from subscriptions to bonbons.
Parachute
Cloud Cotton Robe, available at Parachute, $99
This robe is lightweight, fluffy, and soft. It’s the perfect piece to make days spent lounging at home feel a little more comfortable.
Goldbelly
A box of gourmet food with Goldbelly, prices vary
Whether it’s New York pizza, New England seafood, or cannolis from a famous bakery, Goldbelly carries delicious gourmet food gifts from eateries all over the United States. A Goldbelly box makes a great gift if she loves food. Just add a personal note and you have a thoughtful gift that fills her belly and soul.

Otherland/Alyssa Powell/Insider
Threesome Candle Set, available at Otherland, $89
The same candle from a designer brand might cost twice as much, but we all know Grandma would never want you spending that much on a single candle. The brand is on the list of Insider’s top 100 products because Otherland provides reasonably priced alternatives that are still sophisticated and formulated with clean ingredients. Choose from soothing scents like rosebud, peony blossom, and pear water to build a set.
Book of the Month Instagram
3-Month Book of the Month subscription, $50
Book of the Month offers five new book choices a month, and they’re always top-quality picks. The biggest struggle of being a Book of the Month member is deciding which one to read.
Zenni
Give her a gift card from this affordable and stylish glasses brand so she can pick out a new pair of frames for herself. Frames start at less than $10, and they’ll be on their way straight to her front door after she enters her prescription information online.
Purple
The Purple Back Cushion, availabe at Purple, $35
Purple Cushions feature the same Hyper-Elastic Polymer material used in its supportive, adaptive mattresses, so she can be comfortable whether sitting in a car, plane, or stadium. Unlike other pillows that might simply absorb weight, this one provides active support.
Allbirds
Wool Loungers, available at Allbirds, $98
The soft, cushioned, and lightweight Loungers are made for the grandma who’s always on her feet and needs to be comfortable. We loved wearing them.
Lo and Sons
Catalina Deluxe Tote, available at Lo & Sons, from $123
A common problem — finding a bag that doesn’t hurt your back — inspired the founding of travel bag company Lo & Sons, so you know these totes will be comfortable for your grandma to carry. The canvas bag has a bunch of different organizational features, including a bottom pocket just for shoes and an expandable main compartment.
Amazon
Fire TV Recast DVR, available at Amazon, $155
So you’ve convinced her to cut the cord, but she might still miss watching her favorite daytime shows as they happen. Amazon’s Fire TV Recast works with an HD antenna and Fire TV device to bring her live shows and events without the commitment of monthly fees.
artifact uprising

The sleek brass display is a little different from the usual photo frame, and it weathers nicely over time. The set includes 12 prints printed on weighty, matte paper.

Slip’s 100% pure Mulberry silk sleep mask is lightweight, super soft, and makes something as simple as going to bed feel luxurious.

Mini Gold Letter Charm Pendant, available at Aurate, $250
No need to get excessive or gimmicky with the Grandma gear — pretty and simple convey thoughtfulness even better, in our opinion.
Fitbit Instagram
Fitbit Inspire 2, available at Walmart, $70
This tracker is more affordable than Fitbit’s other models, but still gives her all the necessary info to keep tabs on her fitness and health. She can monitor her calorie burn, heart rate, sleep patterns, walking and biking activity, and other important stats.
Uncommon Goods
Sewing Station, available at Uncommon Goods, $60
Plastic sewing supply storage boxes may work, but this sturdy clay sewing station will actually get her excited to sit down with her tools.
