1. Customizable Door Mat

I am a sucker for a good door mat. They make for a simple, but thoughtful gift for anyone. No one really thinks about the front porch, but a creative door mat can make your home feel more welcoming before anyone steps foot inside. @WoodByStu makes cute customizable doormats for grandparents, so if you are looking for a simple, but out-of-the box gift idea, I highly recommend you give this one a try.

2. Personalized Family Print

Speaking of a customizable gift, how lovely is this print by @CloverDesignsStore? If your family has not been able to get a photo taken recently, having a print like this made would be a good place holder. I also love the quote at the top. Grandparent’s truly are some of the best teachers and sweetest friends.

3. Family Legacy Journal

One of the best thing I ever purchased was a monthly journal by Duncan and Stone for Ronia that I wrote in while I was pregnant. Now she has a book absolutely filled with memories and prayers that someday she will own. Duncan and Stone also make a legacy journal, which I think would be a very meaningful gift for any grandparent. The book is filled with simple guided prompts, which allows one to write their story by answering one question at a time.

4. Wood Handwriting Keepsake

If you are looking for a more sentimental gift for your grandparent, be sure to check out these wood handwriting keepsake ideas from @BLOCKsetc. A paper drawing might tear or fade over time, but a wood gift like the ones above will last forever.

5. Photo or Memory Book

Another gift that will last forever is a photo or memory book. Photo books are so nostalgic, much better than scanning through pictures on a cell phone or computer screen. This grandparent’s day, surprise your grandma or grandpa with a personalized photo book filled with some of your favorite memories.

6. Custom Kid Pillow

Want to give a gift that even more personal than a photo book? Then might I recommend a custom pillow by @aurespaces on Etsy. A gift like this one would be especially perfect for grandparents who live far away. You can give them a pillow with your face on it! Or the face of your children. For some a gift like this might seem over the top, but to me is just ridiculous enough to be sweet.

7. Sound Wave Art

Sound wave art is another meaningful and unique gift for any grandparent. Record yourself or your kids saying something like, “I love you, grandma.” Then you can have that sound wave made into artwork. Something about this gift idea just tugs at my heart strings. Maybe that’s because it reminds me of seeing Ronia’s heart beat on the monitor while I was pregnant. There’s just something so beautiful about sound wave art.

8. Wood Family Tree Chart

The final of my 8 Meaningful Gift Ideas for Your Grandparent is a wooden family tree chart. I saved this one for last, because it’s my absolute favorite idea. How gorgeous is this family tree by @Foxbairn? Now this is a gift that will not only be saved, but passed down through generations. If you are looking for a meaningful gift this grandparent’s day or even for Christmas, look no further than this stunning family tree.
