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.

We Are Knitters in the grandparent’s section because I am both a grandparent and a knitter.

This list is pretty awesome, Janice and Susan! I think it’s really sweet to give grandparents gifts like personalized engraved guitar pick, letters to my grandchild and the magnificent gift nuts gift basket. These are my favorites from your list!
The Amazon Fire TV Stick is also an awesome gift considering that seniors are more receptive to technologies such as tablets and smartphones. A study done by Michigan State University found out that 72% of older adults with an average age of 68 do not oppose learning new technologies.
I came up with my own list of gift ideas for seniors this Christmas: http://www.altcp.org/gift-ideas-safe-activities-seniors/ and I strongly recommend giving seniors practical gifts like Ipads and smartphones, key finder or talking alarm clock. I hope this can also help those who are doing their last minute Christmas shopping.

For the grandparent on the go, you might also consider gifting GoGoGrandparent (www.gogograndparent.com), a service that lets older adults get affordable rides with Uber/Lyft via a phone call (no app or smartphone required) and ensures a human operator is always available to help if needed.
