Vellabox Candle Subscription

Grandparents can be difficult to buy for. Generally they have “everything” already or can go purchase it themselves if they want it. A Vellabox candle subscription can be enjoyed all year round and starts at only $10 a month and includes an all-natural candle (plus a surprise gift) each month.

Their gift packages can be purchased for 3,6, or 12 month periods.

Great projects are included, 150 total, in this colorful, information packed book.

It’s all covered from selecting the right wood to patterns to gluing & finishing. Includes projects for novices to advanced, indoors and outdoors.

Great gift idea for the grandpa who loves to create!

 

Cooking for Two Cookbook

With the nest empty grandparents don’t need to cook for a large crowd on most days!

Give them The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook.

There is 650 of America’s Test Kitchen’s best recipes reengineered to just serve two.

Scaling down the ingredients isn’t always the answer, cooking times, temperatures, and equipment may need to change as well.

 

Personalized Engraved Guitar Pick 

This is such a FUN gift idea for a musical grandparent! Give him or her a personalized, engraved guitar pick made of copper.

They can strum their favorite tunes in style. This is great for the grandkids to give, engrave their names or birthdates, or even a fun quote about grandparents.

3D diamond engraving is bold and stands out well against the material.

 

Grandkids Photo Frame

Did you have family photos taken this year? Gift prints in this fun Grandkids Photo Frame and the grandparents on your list can look at their beautiful grandkids faces anytime they want.

I know my grandparents would love this gift. It’s especially nice for the grandparents that live far away from their grandkids and can’t seem them in person often.

 

Round Floating Living Memory Lockets

This Floating Living Memory Locket is beautiful. It comes with a high quality bead chain, 1 backplate, & 12 birthstones. The clear glass, double sided face locket opens to add the charms of your choice. Features a magnetic closure.

Such a beautiful but simple piece for the grandmother on your list.

 

Grandparents House Rules Plaque

What happens at the grandparents house stays at the grandparents house right? Your grandparents are sure to love this fun wooden plaque that shows grandkids can definitely get away with more at their grandparents house than we got away with as their kids.

The wooden plaque measures 5″ x 10″.

 

Letters to My Grandchild

Now this is a great gift idea right here. Let your grandparents write 12 letters to send to their grandkids. Grandparents can write favorite memories or words of wisdom and seal them with the included stickers. The letters are then postdated for future opening. This gift is essentially a paper time capsule that will become a priceless heirloom for generations to cherish.

 

Grandchildren Date Print

This gift is a gorgeous print that details the important days in a persons life. Put their grandchildren’s or children’s date of birth. You could also use the important dates in your grandparents lives such as when they met, their first date, their wedding date, etc. You can customize this gift in a lots of ways.

Please note, the frame in the photo is not included, you only receive the print which is available as an 8×10 or 11×14.

 

Grandparents Coffee Mug

Are your grandparents too cool to be called grandma and grandpa? Give them these fun coffee mugs that say just that! This pack includes both mugs, one for each grandparent. The mugs are 11 ounces with a large easy to grip C-handle.

The design is printed on both sides of the mug and the color is vibrant and long lasting. The mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe.

 

Magnificent Gift Nuts Gift Basket

<
This is a great consumable gift for the grandparents who have everything and don’t want or need much. Store bought gift baskets can be, let’s say, not so fresh. Magnificent Gift Baskets never keep their nuts in warehouses longer than a month so your gifts are always fresh.

This basket includes 7 flavors to savor and are healthy & kosher. Plus they offer a guarantee, if you don’t enjoy the nuts they will give you a full refund.

 

Earn cash back on your purchases!

Shopping through cash back sites is a great way to save money on your holiday shopping!

The Google Chrome toolbar extension for Ebates automatically tells me when you are on a website that offers cash back.

 

The great thing about using the Ebates toolbar button is that you can browse all the gift ideas from bloggers so they can earn their affiliate commissions, but you can still get cash back.

I call that a win/win!

Depending if you are in the USA or Canada you’ll need either ebates.com (USA) or ebates.ca (Canada)
