Kindle Paperwhite
An e-book reader is a nice, handy device for grandparents who love to read. We recommend the Kindle Paperwhite because of its glare-free display with laser-quality text. It reads like a real paper and has an adjustable brightness to keep the screen comfortable to gaze at even when reading for long hours or under direct sunlight. Additionally, it can be paired with speakers or headphones for listening to audible books. Lightweight and waterproof, the Kindle Paperwhite is easy to carry during travels and is perfect for reading by the pool or beach.

Grandmoms and granddads who are into gardening and cooking will certainly find love with the Click and Grow Smart Garden. This innovative device allows grandparents to enjoy homegrown plants and connect with nature in the comfort of their own home. It uses a NASA-inspired Smart Soil technology which gives it the ability to grow fresh produce, lively plants, and beautiful flowers. All there is to do is fill the unit with water and plug it in.

This pair of Dearfoams slippers will keep your grandparents’ feet cozy year-round. Each piece features a classic plaid design in red accented with different vivid colors, complete with the words “GRAND” and “BEAR” that add a sweet touch.

La Jolíe Muse White Tea Scented Candle
The La Jolíe Muse White Tea Scented Candle is a fragrant fairytale in a tin can. It diffuses an aromatic combination of different scents when lit, including white tea, vetiver, musk, rose, bergamot, and lemon. Made from 100% natural wax, lead-free cotton wicks, and refined perfume fragrance oils, the candle is guaranteed to produce a clean burn and a long-lasting aroma. Matching the wonderful fragrance is a delightful tin designed in pastel colors: The container features delicate geometric patterns while the lid flaunts intricate floral prints. When not in use, this scented candle makes for a lovely home decor piece.
Long Distance Friendship Lamp
If your grandparents live far away and you don’t see each other that often, the Long Distance Friendship Lamp by John Harrison & Vanessa Whalen will make for a very endearing gift. It can be purchased in pairs, so you can keep one for yourself and give the other one to them. The lamp is set up through Wi-Fi, and when you touch it, the other lamp will light up as well. It cycles through different lovely colors with every tap, but you can also assign a color for a personalized touch. Saying “I love you” or “I’m thinking of you” doesn’t get any simpler and more instant than this.

Coravin Model Two Wine System
If grandma or grandpa is a wine lover, the Coravin Model Two Wine System will make a nice addition to their wine night essentials. This tool is built to pour wine even without uncorking or opening the bottle. It has a thin wall needle that pierces the cork gently for smooth and quick pouring and a capsule-loading chamber that creates an airtight seal so no gas escapes. This means the wine stays preserved for longer since there’s no chance of oxidation ruining it.
