Gift Ideas for Grandparents and Parents

I love giving my parents a gift from the kids or more of a sentimental grandparent gift instead of just random stuff. My parents always appreciate the thought and it’s fun to see them wearing their Gigi & Papa hats and shirts when they are with the kids! Here are a few ideas of gifts you can give to parents or grandparents with actual gifts we have given in the past!

1. Digital Frame- We got this for my parents last year and my mom is always telling me how much she loves it! You can easily send pictures to it and it’ll show them on a slideshow! My kids always love seeing the pictures on it when they come over!

2. MiMi sweatshirt- This is such a pretty sweatshirt and I can totally see my mom wearing this!

3. GiGi hat- We got this for my mom last year for Christmas and she loves it!

4. PaPa hat- We got this hat for my dad last year and he loved it too!

5. Fill in the blank PaPa book- this book is so cute and it’s one of my favorite gifts for my kids to give as gifts! It’s a premade book with fill in the blank pages so kids can write their favorite things about that person! We made this for my dad for father’s day this year and not only did he love it but the kids loved making it and it was such a special memory! There is another option like this below!

6. Custom Grandparent Art- This is such a cool sentimental gift for grandparents! I love that you can add the names of everyone and the picture will look like your family!

1. Doormat- I think this doormat is so funny for those that fit the bill! I know I’d love something like this if I were a grandma.

2. Digital Frame- I linked this earlier but honestly this would be my top gift idea for a grandparent or parent. So if you haven’t given this yet I would make it your top priority! If this one is out of your budget then try THIS ONE because it’s more affordable but get’s the job done.

3. Grandma and Grandpa hats- I think these hats are so cute and so affordable! They come in a two pack and are perfect for anyone who is expecting or just had a baby this year!

4. Grandpa shirt- We got this shirt for my dad 2 years ago ( except the PAPA version) and we got the GiGi one for my mom. They wear these shirts all the time!

5. Fill in the blank book- I mentioned these above but this option could be for anyone instead of specifically for a PaPa. I actually got this one for my kid to fill out for my husband for Father’s day this year! I really loved the quality of this one and the pages inside of it were more durable. It would also be great for a grandparent or anyone else who is important in your kid’s lives.

6. Custom Frame with names- We were always getting gifts like this for my grandma before she passed. She always said that her favorite gifts were the ones that had the faces of the people she loved most!

I made this gift guide with myself in mind as a mom of 3 with things I either already have and love or would love if my family gifted me!

1. Mom Book- I’m always buying these fill in the blank books for my kids to make as gifts for other people but I would honestly be so happy if I received one!

2. Mama Necklace- I included 2 options of these because I think both styles are cute! Honestly Mama is my favorite name I’ve ever had so I love anything that says mom, mama or mommy on it! Second option is HERE.

3. Custom Artwork- I included this in my grandparent one above too but I think it’s such a cute idea! I will say that unless you know someone is a fan of gifts like this, I’d maybe check with them before ordering it for them. Personally I wouldn’t want this if my family wasn’t complete yet. We are expecting another baby this year and if someone gifted this to me now it would be incomplete next year!

4. Custom Keychain- I saw this and thought it was so cute!!

5. Photo Printer- I have this little pocket printer and absolutely love it! It’s such an easy way to print out photos small from my phone! I personally prefer using my phone and this over an instamix or polaroid camera. I have used this a lot to add pictures to the fill-in-the blank books I have shown in these gift guides!

6. Tripod- I have 2 of these and love them! I think every family needs a good tripod so you can capture family memories no matter what! I bring this with me everywhere (partially because I’m a social media content creator haha!). It fold up really compact so it’s easy to travel and it’s very durable and stable.

7. Mama Sweatshirt- Ok I’m in love with this!!! It’s the cutest Mama sweatshirt I have ever seen and I love that you can add your kids names to the sleeve!

8. Digital Calendar- This thing is a LIFESAVER for busy moms! We can easily sync up our iPhone calendars to this and it’s not only a visual reminder of our schedule but it also will ding with reminders. I can’t tell you how many times I have been sitting at home with my youngest totally forgetting about important like volunteering at my oldest’s school or a passport application appointment and this digital calendar saved me!

1. Book- I mentioned this book earlier but I gave this to my husband from my kids and it was such a great gift!

2. Measuring Tape- If you have a handy husband/dad then you know they probably will never have enough measuring tapes! My husband always has a hard time finding one when he needs it! I love that this one has a little extra touch and it’s so affordable!

3. Dad Shirt- My husband loves these corny dad shirts! If you have a dad or husband who makes lot’s of dad jokes then they would probably love this too! I got him this shirt last year and he wears it all the time.

4. Dad Sweatshirt- I love how classy and clean this one is and it’s personalized with the kids names on the sleeve!

5. Dad mug- this is so cute and funny for any dads who are typically the fixers in the house! I would totally buy this for my husband if he drank out of mugs but he doesn’t drink anything hot.

6. Mulit-tool Pen- My husband loves multi-tools. They are like functional toys for men!

7. Dad Keychain- I thought this keychain was such a cute gift for a little girl to give their dad!

I have more gift ideas coming here soon but I wanted to share this for you all in the meantime! I also have tons of other gift ideas on my other gift guides! Be sure to check back for more ideas later!
