Birthstone Nana Necklace
Simple and sweet, with tons of different styles that combine birthstones and whatever she’s going by these days. Would work as a first grandchild gift, or for any stage in the grandma game. You can find them here on Etsy.

Letters to My Grandchild
One of our all-time favorite grandma gifts. These prompts are like mini-journal entries, making them a sweet gift that will be treasured by everyone. You can find it on Amazon.

Grandma T-shirt
A fun way to announce their new status! This would also be a memorable way to do a pregnancy announcement. Find this one on Amazon.

Carved Name Stones
Simple, lasting, and meaningful. These stones can be used inside or in a garden, and are a unique way to honor the matriarch of the family. You can find them on Etsy

Personalized Grandma Book
I Love You This Much – Grandma Edition is a personalized hardcover keepsake book that can be customized with both the child and grandmother’s name (Gran, Nana, Mimi, Abuela, etc.). These 34 page books are really gorgeous and do a great job of incorporating the names into the story. The picture here doesn’t do them justice. Wonderbly.

The Cool Grandma Sweatshirt
We all know who the cool grandma is. I found this one on Etsy.

Guided Journal
This simple guided journal helps grandmothers record their life story with over 200 questions. Once completed, the book will become a timeless and precious keepsake to share with your children, loved ones, and future generations. I found it on Amazon.

Custom Mug
Nothing says “thanks for the free childcare” like a custom mug full of hot coffee! You can find this one on Amazon.

Gigi T-Shirt
Oh, you know it, Gigi! They have a bunch of nice tees at this Etsy store. Etsy.

Heart Photo Collage
Minted makes these incredible photo collage prints when you can’t pick just one great shot of a grandchild (can you ever really?). Oh, and it comes with an option for a frame, taking one more thing off your to-do list. You can find them here on Minted.

Birthstone Bracelet
These are subtle, tasteful and surprisingly inexpensive. There’s also an option for a birthstone necklace if that’s more her thing. Etsy

Nana Tumbler
Enough said. Etsy

Grandmother Board and Picture Books
You can build a mini library around the awesome relationship between a child and their grandmother, making this the perfect gift no matter if your babies are newborns or toddlers. You can find some great titles on Amazon.

Custom Wine Labels
These peel and stick wine bottle labels can go over her favorite bottle of wine. You can get any name, too. Etsy.

Handmade Christmas Ornament
This is technically a Christmas ornament, but it’s subtle enough to be a part of her everyday decor. It also would be a pretty fun way to make a pregnancy announcement. You can find a variety of styles on Etsy.

Birth Flower Garden Stones
These are so sweet if you have someone who loves gardening. They can be personalized with the name, date, and matching birth month flower. I like that you can add to them as more grandkids come along. Find them on Etsy.

Grandkids Make Life Grand Photo Display
This customizable sign is the perfect way for a new Grandma to easily display the whole spread of adorable photos being sent her way, and since they attach with clips, she can swap them out as quickly as you can print them. Find it on Etsy.

Welcome Mat
Even tolerated can sometimes be an overstatement. These natural mats come in a variety of sizes and I found them on Etsy.
