Can we talk about how tricky it can be to shop for grandparents? They always say they “don’t need anything,” but we know they secretly love being spoiled a little bit. I’ve been thinking about this so much lately, especially since Mike and I are spending more time thinking about what makes our own parents and grandparents truly happy.
The key is finding gifts that enhance the things they already love doing or create opportunities for more precious family moments. Here are 25 of the best-selling gifts for grandparents, according to my own experience and my followersâ.
