Christmas gifts for grandma

Looking for Christmas gifts for grandma that she will genuinely treasure? Whether you call her grandma, gran or nan, she probably tells everyone every year that she does not want anything. That usually means she would love something small and thoughtful that shows you were thinking of her, rather than something big or expensive. This guide brings together gentle, sentimental ideas, from garden bird and floral brooches to pendants with a meaning and pop-up cards she can keep on the mantelpiece.

Every gift shown below is a real product from our shop, and the prices are the current ones. Most of our pieces are affordable, which makes them a good choice for grandchildren of every age, including children spending their own pocket money.

The sections below are grouped by the kind of gift, so you can match the present to her style. Think about how she likes to dress, what she enjoys watching from the window and the things she talks about most, then choose something that fits.

Garden bird and wildlife brooches

Many grandmas love the birds and animals that visit the garden, and a brooch that celebrates them is a charming way to show you have noticed. A robin is a natural choice at Christmas, while a bullfinch, owl, hedgehog or pair of lovebirds suits a nan who keeps a bird feeder topped up all winter.

Brooches are also a very practical gift for a grandmother. They are easy to pin on, they brighten up a coat, a cardigan or a scarf, and they do not need to match anything in particular. If she already owns a few, a new one adds to her collection rather than duplicating something she has.

These are our garden bird and wildlife brooches that we think suit a grandma best.

Floral brooches for a gran who loves her garden

Flowers are a timeless choice for a grandmother, and a floral brooch looks lovely on a winter coat or a smart jacket for church or a family lunch. Roses, daisies, tulips and lilac all have a classic feel, and a vintage inspired thistle or art deco style piece suits a gran who has always dressed with a bit of elegance.

If she has a favourite flower, it is worth looking for that design in particular. A rose for someone who has grown roses for years, or a daisy for a nan with a cheerful outlook, turns a small brooch into something that feels chosen just for her.

Brooches are light and easy to post too, which is helpful if she lives some distance away and you are sending her present rather than visiting.

Gifts for gardeners

Sentimental pendants and keepsakes

A necklace with a meaning behind it can become one of a grandmother's most treasured things. A photo locket lets her carry pictures of the grandchildren with her, and a mum and baby koala pendant is a sweet nod to the bond between generations.

Heart pendants are a simple and lovely way to say how much she means to you, and they suit almost any grandma, whatever her usual style. A poppy pendant is a quieter, thoughtful choice for a gran who always wears a poppy in November. If she tends to wear the same chain every day, a pendant in a matching metal is likely to be worn just as often.

For a really personal touch, our personalised gifts range includes keepsakes and prints that make a lasting reminder of a family Christmas.

Pop-up cards and little comforts

Grandmas often keep cards for years, so a pop-up card that opens into a bouquet of flowers can be a gift in its own right. She can stand it on the mantelpiece or windowsill long after Christmas, and it makes a smaller present feel generous.

Scented soaps in gentle fragrances such as lavender, rose petals and oatmeal and honey are a little bit of everyday luxury. They are a good choice from younger grandchildren, and they pair nicely with a brooch or a card to make a small bundle.

A bouquet card also solves the problem of flowers for a grandma who lives far away. Fresh blooms fade within a week or two, but a paper bouquet that pops up every time she opens it will sit on the side right through the winter and remind her of you each time she sees it.

How to choose Christmas gifts for grandma

The best presents for a grandmother are usually the ones with a story attached. Think about the things she talks about, from the birds in her garden to the flowers she grows, and choose something that connects with them. A short handwritten note from the grandchildren, or a drawing from the little ones, often means as much to her as the gift itself.

Consider what is comfortable and easy for her, too. A brooch with a secure pin, a pendant on a chain she can manage and a card she can display are all simple to enjoy. If you are sending the present, choose something small and light that travels well.

If several grandchildren are buying for the same nan, it can be lovely to choose a set of small gifts that go together, such as a brooch, a card and a soap. Putting them in one order is sensible as well, as we offer free UK delivery on orders of £30 or more.
