Ah we all know that we often forget about our grandparents when it comes to finding Christmas presents. So here’s a list of last-minute cheap Christmas present ideas for grandparents:

Granparents Love Gardening

This may be an over generalisation but every old person I know loves gardens or gardening so here’s a few gifts your grandmother or grandfather may like:

Grow It Gift Box – Wild Flowers from Getting Personal
Getting Personal also do a Cactus one, a herb garden one, a sunflowerone, a fruit one, and a bonsai one amongst others. I’m sure, however, older people would prefer the wild flowers Grow It Gift Box. At around £13, I’m sure it’ll be in the budgets of most!

You can get the Grow It Gift Box from Getting Personal, EShopmegastore, Play.com, Feeling Chilled, Buyagift and Green Fingers.

Gardeners Friend Muscle Rub from Greenfingers Trading
Your grandparent isn’t a spring chicken anymore, they’ll get aches and pains so why not help them recover quicker with this Gardener’s Friend Muscle rub. It’s only £4 so you can’t really argue with that and you can it from Greenfingers Trading.

Gardening Magazines from Magazine Group
There are actually tonnes of gardening magazines that would be suitable for your grandparents. Magazine Group has magazines such as Amateur Gardening magazine, Garden Design magazine, Gardeners’ World, Garden Illustrated, Gardens, Grow Your Own Magazine, Homes & Gardens magazine, House & Garden magazine and The English Garden.

Grandparents Love A Tipple

10 Year Old Glenmorangie Whiskey / Scotch from Flowers Direct
Glenmorangie is the biggest selling Whiskey in Scoltand for a reason. It is fantastically, but delicately spicy. I’m sure your granfather would love it! You can get it from Flowers Direct (of all places).

Find out more about Glenmorangie here.

103 Spanish Brandy from Oddbins
103 is one of the leading brands of Spanish brandy that most grandparents will enjoy! You can get it from Oddbins

Tyrconnell 10 Year Old Sherry Cask 70cl Bottle from TheDrinkShop
Tyconnell is one of the premier brands of Sherry you’ll find!! If you found yourself parting with the £43-off that this bottle will cost, I’m sure your grandparent will love you for ever! It’s a cracking sherry who’s flavour has been 240 years in the making – it was in 1762 that the Watt family starting distilling sherry in Northwest Ireland. Well worth a few quid and you can get it from The Drink Shop from £24-odd to £43 odd.

Grand Parents Love Old or Historic Gifts

My House History – Personalised Portfolio from Getting Personal
Now this is a fantastic personalised Christmas gift which could be perfect for almost all grandparents. The only ones that it wouldn’t be perfect for are the grandparents that already have one! The My House History “provides a personalised and unique dossier tracing the geographical history surrounding someone’s home, property and the local community from as far back as the mid 19th century through the various editions of OS maps and concludes with a spectacular aerial photograph – all centred on the home of your choice.” Now isn’t that amazing? For £39-odd it may be a bit much for some, but as a joint present it may be perfect? You can get it from Getting Personal or Buyagift.

Family History Gift Box from Needapresent
Now this is another amazing gift for a grandparent! It will enable (hopefully) your grandparent to retrace your family history – well your surname anyhow. It will also give instructions of how to trace your family history, a family tree template and a greate metalic box to keep it all in. Give your grandparent something to do with a Family History Gift Box from: Need a Presen
t, Woolworths, Feeling Chilled, The Bespoke Gift Company, Getting Personal, Activity Superstore, Everything Play, Gadget Shop, Buyagift and A1Gifts.

Grandparents Love Cut Crystal Glasses etc

A Pair Of Personalised Cut Crystal Wine Glasses from
Getting Personal
Strangely one of the things I dislike about old people’s houses is the amount of cut crystal they have on the mantelpiece and hanging around their homes. The thing is old people love it and who am I to deny their crystal wishes? Getting Personal offer personalised cut crystal wine glasses and I’m sure your grand parent will love them!

Grandparents Love Jigsaws As Christmas Presents

Ordnance Survey Landranger 400 Piece Jigsawfrom Buyagift
Now this is a stonking gift for a grandparent! You can get a map of your grandfather or grandmother’s home and have it turned into a jigsaw! How amazing is that? It may be £29-odd but I think it would be a great gift for any grandparent!

There are other shops that sell jigsaws including MailOrderExpress, Gadget Pages, A1 Gifts.

Grandparents Love Photos of the GrandChildren

Favourite Photo immortalised in Canvas from The Bespoke Gift Company
What a great gift this will be! I got a similar one for my mum for Christmas a couple of years ago and she loved it. What you do is send a photo to the guys and they’ll print it on a convas and post it out to you! They are amazing!! You can get it from The Bespoke Gift Company for about £55 – but they do cheaper ones as well.

Grandparents Love Sweets

A Large Wooden Box of Nostalgia from A Quarter Of…
What is it with grandparents and sweets? My nan always had a jar of sweets for when I cam round. A A Quarter Of… have a selection of nostaligic sweets for £33-odd, but I’m sure you can find cheaper alternatives!
