Grandmother’s Day Gift Guide

Rather than give grandma yet another picture frame, how about a framed print of her grandbabies' adorable toes (no grandparent can resist those, right?). The hardest part will likely involve just getting your little one's footprints on a piece of paper. Once that's done, just snap a photo and email it to the Perfect Little Prints shop for framing. Or watch our how-to here.

To buy: Framed Footprint Art, $24

If grandma is a tea lover, this may be just the thing to spark her tastebuds. With tea drops, no bag is required. Simply, drop the tea drop into the cup, fill with water and watch as it dissolves into a fragrant Citrus Ginger or Earl Grey blend. Buy Grandma a subscription if you think she would embrace this new-fangled concept. Or if you're unsure, then maybe just a box to start.

To buy: Tea Drops, starting at $10

From its antimicrobial properties to its natural sun-block abilities, the benefits of coconut oil—especially for skincare—make it a no-brainer.

A lovely way to keep those grandkids close to her heart, this necklace is sentimental without going over the top.
