Don’t Forget Grandma: She Deserves a Great Mother’s Day Gift Too

You might have known Grandma your whole life, but do you really know all the details of her life? Storyworth is a service that packs all her wisdom and funny stories into a beautifully bound book. Once a week, she'll get a question via email that's a writing prompt. (You can choose the question or Storyworth can select it for you). At the end of the year, all her answers are collected into a hardcover book with photos and captions.

If there's one thing we all know about grandmas, it's that they love seeing photos of their grandkids. These personalized photo magnets start at just $7 for the small square size. Order several with candid shots or family portraits for an affordable and thoughtful gift. She'll love displaying them on the fridge along with her grandkids' latest artwork.

For the grandma who enjoys cooking, consider getting her a high-quality apron for whipping up all her favorite meals without worrying about the spills. This durable apron from Williams-Sonoma has an adjustable neck strap and ample pockets for holding spatulas and recipe cards. It comes in six colors, and the best part is that you can personalize it with her name.

If your grandma loves craft projects, this little machine will be her new best friend. With the Cricut Joy, it's easy to make greeting cards, iron-on T-shirts, party decorations and so much more. Make something totally unique or choose from 50 ready-to-make projects online. It's a DIY crafter's dream.

What's even better than a Ravensburger puzzle? A 1,000-piece Ravensburger puzzle with a photo of Grandma's favorite grandkids or pets. You can even customize the box with a personalized message. It can take up to 10 business days to arrive, so be sure to get your order in soon for delivery by Mother's Day.

Even if Grandma's cookies are the best, she still appreciates someone else baking for her on occasion. We love these massive cookies from New York's Levain Bakery. One cookie goes a long way, and if you pop them in the oven for a few minutes, they come out with a marvelous ooey, gooey center. Get a 4-pack for $29, an 8-pack for $49 or a 12-pack for $79.

If there's one thing Grandma deserves for Mother's Day, it's a good night's sleep. This 100% mulberry silk pillowcase from Zimasilk is a game-changer when it comes to your sleep routine. 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 our favorite thing about this pillowcase is that you won't wake up with a "pillow face." (Yes, that's a thing.)

Nothing beats Grandma's home cooking. With this book, your nana can pass those recipes on to future generations. There's plenty of room to store favorite recipes and write down new ones, so you'll never lose Gram's treasured chicken parmesan or apple pie recipe.

It's impossible to go wrong with a gift that will help Grandma unwind and indulge in a little self-care. Treat your nana to an at-home spa day with these luxurious shower steamers. All she needs to do is place a fizzy in her shower, and soon she'll be enjoying the relaxing scents of lavender, eucalyptus, vanilla, watermelon, grapefruit or peppermint. 

If Grandma prefers to unwind in the tub rather than the shower, she'll love this bathtub caddy tray. It's adjustable to fit almost any tub, and it will hold everything she needs for a relaxing soak: bath bombs, books, wine glass, phone, etc.

This Click & Grow indoor herb garden is CNET's top pick for the best indoor smart garden of 2024. It's a thoughtful gift for any grandmother who enjoys having fresh herbs on hand. Grandma can enjoy growing basil, parsley, cilantro and even tomatoes all year long. She doesn't even need to have a green thumb, it's that easy. Just fill the base with water, put the pods in and watch your sprouts grow.

This best-selling lamp is a sweet gift for a 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. 

This is the handiest contraption Grandma never knew she needed. Not only does it keep your salt perfectly sealed and airtight, but it's got a nifty swiveling magnetic lid that makes it easy to pop on and off while you're cooking.

We all know who really comes first in Grandma's house: her furbaby. Why not surprise her with a dog DNA test kit? Embark's DNA test kits are on sale now with code DNASALE starting at $99 for the breed identification kit with ancestry and geographic origin. If you want to find out even more, you can get a kit that includes genetic testing for $139.

We're big fans of The Bouqs Co., our top pick for the best online flower delivery service. Bouqs offers an impressive variety of arrangements, from traditional bouquets to more creative, tropical florals. And the best part is you can even get same-day and next-day delivery if needed.
