I don't know what to get my grandma for christmas?
Hi everyone!
I have a problem. My grandma is really nice and I want to get her something nice for christmas but I don't know how to say this so I will just say it: She is an old lady! What do old ladies like for christmas?!? I don't want o be rude seriously and I want it to be something that she will really like because she has always been really wonderful to me.
Can anyone give me some starter ideas on what to get my grandma for christmas?
Thank YOU!

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Edible Arrangements, where they arrange fruit to look like flower bouquets and send them over.
But really, something sentimental like spending a day together with just the two of you will make her feel really special. Like, if you have a day full of activities planned, that's all that she probably would like. Or help her do chores around the house. I think a scrapbook filled with written memories and photos is sweet. When you get to live for a long time you really don't care about material things as much and want to spend more quality time with family.

I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you may have received and may continue to receive from others.
You have asked a really hard question in that we do not know the person you wish to purchase a gift for. You say she is an old lady; old to you may not be that old in chronological age or in the way she spends her days.
That being said here is what I suggest: Look at how your grandmother spends her day. Does she belong to any clubs? If so find out which of the clubs she gets the most enjoyment from. If she is a member of say a book club you could buy her some gift cards from her favorite book store. In this case a gift card would be the right gift as book selection is a very personal thing. If grandmother is on a fixed income a gift card would allow her to purchase extra books. She may be into arts and crafts, if she is talk to her find out what she likes to do then go to a craft store and ask someone there what would go along with what she likes to do. Does grandmother like to travel, if so travel accessories are always welcome.
I think you see the point I am getting at. You need to visit with your grandmother, which in and of itself will be a gift grandmother will enjoy. Find out through subtle questions what grandmother enjoys doing with her days and then find a gift you can afford.
Being of the grandparent age myself I can tell you that just spending some quality time alone with you would be a welcome gift. If you are old enough to be out on your own consider taking your grandmother out to dinner, just the two of you, to her favorite restaurant if it’s affordable. Frankly that’s a gift I would enjoy more than any tangible gift you could give me, again that is if you are of the age you can do so. If you are still in your teen years; coming to my house and having dinner with me just the two of us would be just as nice.
