Shopping for grandparents can be daunting. They probably have most of the basics down pat, and if you ask for ideas you’ll likely get a genuine “nothing, sweetheart.”
But these are the people who sat through your band recitals even though they were unbearably boring. They weathered your tantrums and sticky fingers on their furniture, and they probably slipped you candy even when someone else said no. So, what can you do for them?
Below are 32 gifts that you can feel good about gifting. They’re thoughtful, useful, sweet, and bound to be extremely appreciated by grandmas and grandpas.
Most of these items are available with expedited shipping, and some should arrive within a few days’ time, so don’t stress too hard about any last-minute shopping — just remember that the sooner you order, the better your chances of a timely arrival.

A Jo Malone diffuser that smells amazing and looks good in a home
Nordstrom
Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Scent Diffuser, available at Nordstrom, $98
A diffuser is like the modern take on potpourri, and Jo Malone makes some incredibly good scents. They’ll recognize the brand, like the smell, and the clean, minimalist glass container means they won’t only bring this out when they know you’re coming over.
A DNA test that lets them delve into family history
Ancestry.com
Ancestry DNA Genetic Test, available at Ancestry, $99
Your grandparents are the origins and default architects of much of your life, and AncestryDNA gives them — and you — the chance to explore and appreciate that history.

If they’re interested in history, they’ll love this.
