Personalized Presents From the Heart: A Grandparents Gift Guide

When shopping for the grandparents every holiday season, it can be difficult to nail down what they want. For some, they ask for the same simple gifts every year while others just want to get some extra time with family and the grandkids. If you are like us and feel like that after years of being spoiled by our grandparents they ought to get spoiled in return, this gift guide has a list of the perfect presents to get out this year. Adding that touch of personalization with their names, wedding vows, photos of the grandkids or clever one-liners. Check out the list below for our top holiday gifts that will make your grandparents feel extra special this year.

For the grandparents that like the more classic ceramic mugs, our 11oz Round Mug is easy to hold and lift. We recommend letting the grandkids pick out the color and decide what to design to put on it. Upload any of their doodles, a special written message or the fun little nickname they have given them. 

When your grandpa is ready to hit the golf course or grandma is heading out to her book club, this RTIC Travel Mug will keep their coffee or tea hot from the first pour to the last sip. Cupholder friendly slim design means this can come with them anywhere, golf cart included. For the slower sippers, drinks stay hot up to 6 hours and cold for 24. Laser engrave their name or a design that shows off their favorite hobbies.

When they cook up dinner, serve out some snacks or just want to hang it up in the kitchen for decoration, our Cutting Board Paddle is perfect for all three. Available in maple and walnut wood, the cutting space and drip ring will allow them to focus on cooking and not worry about the mess. With a large engraving space available, you can add their wedding vows, the family names, or a cute cooking design. We’ll give out this design idea as a freebie: “Grandkids Welcome, Everyone else tolerated…”. 

When they want to have a wine and cheese date night at home or break out the set for their next dinner party, this Bamboo Cheese Board has everything they need in one set. The curved edges and raised middle helps for easy organization of their charcuterie eats and cheesy bites. The built-in storage drawer has four cheese serving tools so they can keep everything together and not clutter up their kitchen drawers. Pair this with their favorite wine or some tasty cheeses they will love.

Festive and fun, these stemless wine glasses are a great addition to any bar set. From holiday lights and tipsy trees to wintry snowflakes and reindeer, the grandparents will be happy to bring these out every year. Pair two of them together or buy them all five for a full collection!

When grandpa wants to enjoy a nice chilled taster of his favorite whiskey, bourbon or scotch, this unique glass creates a flavorful drinking experience. Each glass comes with a silicone ice form that freezes into one half of the glass. Pour his favorite spirit on top and the ice will slowly melt while releasing all of the aromas and flavors while he sips. Laser engrave his initials or a design that totally fits him.

Whether they are tired of all the unnecessary grocery bags, upgrade their old picnic basket or want a better way to bring you fresh Grandma’s cookies, this insulated tote can do it all. The fully-collapsible, fully-insulated tote will keep their casseroles, groceries, and drinks ice cold for hours. The waterproof welded bottom helps keep the bag upright and the waterproof fabric can be easily cleaned, even if the grandkids get a hold of it. Customize it with their names or fun color print designs.

Perfect for catching the grandkid’s soccer games, sunday picnics and road trips to come see the family, the classic Igloo Playmate cooler is an upgrade from their beat up 1980’s version. The iconic tent-top design opens with a push of a button and can store 9 cans of their favorite soda and sparkling water and keep their snacks cool throughout the day. Take advantage of the full wrap design capabilities on the lid to truly make their cooler the most unique on the retirement block.
