There’s no greater joy than giving gifts to others, especially when it’s your grandkids. The holiday season is particularly magical for kids and teenagers, but grandparents always want to sprinkle an extra dusting of magic to make it even more special! If you want to give your grandkids a holiday to remember, you probably think a lot about what presents you’ll give. Here are 5 last-minute gift ideas to add to your list.

1. An E-Reader

Are you worried that your grandchild may be more drawn to electronics than books? Well, fret not! E-Readers, like Kindles, offer the perfect solution by combining the best of both worlds. With an E-Reader, your grandchild can have access to a vast library of books right at their fingertips. They can explore a wide range of literary treasures, including timeless classics and beloved stories that your own children may have cherished during their younger years. It’s a fantastic opportunity for your grandchild to discover the joy of reading in a modern and convenient way. So, embrace the digital age and gift your grandchild an E-Reader to unlock a world of endless reading adventures!

2. A Gift Card to Their Favorite Store or Restaurant

If your grandchild is a teen or preteen, they might enjoy picking out their own presents. A gift card will allow them to do just that! Or, if there’s a restaurant your grandchild loves, get them a gift card so they can enjoy their favorite dish. Maybe they’ll even treat you to a nice meal after the holidays are over!

3. An Instant Print Camera

Kids today have the ability to take pictures on their phone, but those photos usually stay trapped there. If you’ve got a budding photographer on your hands, why not get them a camera with the ability to print photos instantly? Not only will they develop their creativity, but they’ll also have some physical keepsakes they can hang on their wall!

4. A Personalized Puzzle

Your grandkids might already have puzzles, but why not getting a puzzle with a personalized twist? Websites like Shutterfly actually allow you to create puzzles using photos. Try using a photo of you with the grandkids for an extra special gift. Maybe you could even help them assemble it!
