As hard as it is to find gifts for our teens, finding unique gift ideas for grandparents is even more challenging. Many have begun the process of downsizing and don’t need or want more “stuff.”
However, we still seek original gift ideas for cherished family members each holiday. Besides, playing Santa is fun, especially if you can surprise your parents with a thoughtful present.
Take note of these ideas as you make a list for Grandpa and Grammy, Nana, Papa, or whatever sweet names the grandkids have bestowed upon them.

Then postdate, seal with the included stickers, and save to gift to your grandchild at a later date.”
19. Bird feeder
20. Audible Subscription (Amazon)
Pair this with the Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen); your parents will have endless good books to listen to.
21. Your Companionship
Stuff is great, but the most popular suggestion among our Grown and Flown Parents Facebook Group, by far, was to give grandparents the gift of your time and your presence. However, they prefer to celebrate during the holidays, so make sure you and your teens join them for what’s more meaningful to them.
