Grandparents are arguably the easiest members of our family to buy presents before. Always grateful and delighted purely by being around the family they’ve created; material gifts aren’t usually their priority – but this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t spoil our wonderful nanas and papas every now and then.
Fiercely protective yet somehow full of sugar, spice and everything nice, our grandmothers have watched countless trends come and go – and therefore tend to know what they like. Whether it be coral pink 80s décor or Martha Sterwart-esque contemporary design, our grannies don’t tend to stray too far from their preferences.
Yet the art of present buying isn’t just about curating gifts which you think fit into your grandmother’s chosen style. Think about whether your granny is a hard-core practical type, who can’t stand clutter and excess. If that’s the case, you’ll want to buy refills of their favourite products which are running low, or practical upgrades to their hobby materials.
On the other hand, if your grandmother is the type of woman who adores luxurious items but would never indulge on herself – then we highly recommend pulling out all the stops. From extra-large, aromatic candles and fuzzy bathrobes for relaxing on the sofa, to sumptuous skincare – there’s a whole universe of grandmother-approved gifts to choose from.
We’ve created the ultimate grandmother’s gift guide to help you along the way. Keep scrolling for more.

Extra Large Gluggle Jug
Beloved for that characteristic, fishy ‘gluggle’ that you hear when pouring water from this kooky vessel, these versatile ceramic jugs are inspired by late 19th-century Staffordshire pottery.
