Don't Forget Grandma: She Deserves a Great Mother's Day Gift, Too (2025)

Mother's Day is a day dedicated to celebrating Mom -- but don't forget that your grandmother is a mom too. Grandma's always there when you need her, whether she's giving out endless hugs or sweet treats, so it's your turn to return the favor. Show her just how much you love her with a personal gift that supports her hobbies or will remind her of you. Our editors have done the research so you don't have to: Here are the best Mother's Day gifts for grandma.

Here you'll find gifts for every type of grandmother. Does Grandma live far away? Give her a lamp that lights up every time you're thinking of her. If your grandma is into cooking, give her a book to pass on all her favorite recipes. Or maybe she could use some chill time with a bathtub caddy tray or a silk pillowcase. Whatever you choose from on this list, you're sure to make Grandma feel extra special on Mother's Day, which is exactly what she deserves.

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.
