This best-selling lamp is a sweet gift for the grandma who lives far away. Keep one lamp and send the other to your loved one. When one person touches the lamp, the other lamp lights up to let them know you're thinking of them. While it doesn't take the place of seeing each other in person, it will give Gran warm fuzzies every time she sees the lamp glow.
Any grandmother who loves sweets will appreciate a fine box of delicious macarons. I'm a macaron enthusiast, so I've had more than my share of these meringue-based cookies over the years.

She'll also get a recipe and instructions for growing a sourdough starter. Once she starts baking sourdough for her family and friends, she'll never look back.
If there's one thing Grandma deserves for Mother's Day, it's a good night's sleep. This mulberry silk pillowcase from Slip is a game-changer when it comes to your sleep routine. And it's amazingly durable too. That's why it's our top pick for the best silk pillowcase out there. Some beauty pros swear that using a silk pillowcase works wonders for your skin and hair. But my favorite thing about the Slip is simply that I no longer wake up with "pillow face." (Yes, that's a thing.)
Grandma loves hearing from her grandkids, but texting or FaceTime might not be her thing. If that sounds like your gran, you can't go wrong with this Spring Rustic notecard set from Papier. It's just $28 for a set of 10, and each one is personalized with her name. If Grams enjoys taking pen to paper, she's sure to appreciate the quality of these cards and the whimsical floral print.
Still struggling to find a last-minute gift? We won't tell. The good news is that you can never go wrong with flowers. I'm a big fan of Farmgirl Flowers. Their burlap-wrapped bouquets are always fresh, seasonal and totally Instagram-worthy. And the best part is they even offer next-day delivery. Bouquets start at around $58 and go up from there.
