Apron
-
Many people's favorite memories with their grandmothers are cooking meals or baking together. Buying her a new apron will keep this tradition alive while also adding some new flair. Aprons can come in all different colors; pick one that matches her kitchen or reminds you of her personality. Some stores, such as Zazzle's online, offer personalized aprons that can feature your grandmother's name or even a picture. If you know how to sew, try making the apron yourself.
Picture Frame
-
A frame is a gift that can be inexpensive and contain a lot of meaning. Pick out a favorite picture of you and your grandmother, and find a frame that matches. Maybe the frame brings out the colors of the photograph, or somehow touches on the theme of the picture. For example, if the picture was taken at a park, pick a frame featuring a tree design. If you're not finding the perfect frame, you can always go to a craft store and buy a blank one to decorate appropriately.

Blanket or Quilt
-
A new quilt or blanket is a gift your grandmother will be happy to cuddle up with. Pick out a blanket that feels especially warm and cozy, and matches your grandmother's home. Another option is to make a quilt or blanket for her. This can be as simple as sewing together a few pieces of cloth that remind you of her. More elaborate quilts can feature parts of your baby blanket or childhood clothing. Some stores and websites, such as the Campus Quilt Company, will do the work for you and turn memorable materials into blankets.
A Day Together
-
Often the best gift you can give your grandmother is more time with you. Plan a special day for the two of you to do something she'll enjoy. Spend a day of pampering by getting your nails done together, or go to a baseball game. This time together doesn't have to be expensive or elaborate. Even a day in the park means a lot to most grandmothers. Make sure the event you plan is something appropriate for your grandmother's energy level. For many seniors, hiking or sky diving might be a bit too much.
