5 Last-Minute Gifts to Buy for Your Grandkids
In theory, kids are easy to shop for. You can always grab an American Girl doll or Barbie for your granddaughter and a new video game for your grandson! But then, you find out that their other grandma already got your granddaughter that American Girl she’s been begging for all year. Your child informs you that they nabbed the video game your grandson mentioned every time he came to visit. Now, you have only a handful of presents with your grandchild’s name under the tree and absolutely no idea what else you can get them. Fortunately, we have some ideas that might just solve your predicament!
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, combine the best of both worlds. With an E-Reader, your grandchild has access to a vast library right at their fingertips. Fortunately, this is the version made for kids, so they shouldn’t have unfettered access to the internet or the Kindle store.
2. Kids Smart Watch
Many adults have smartwatches, so why shouldn’t kids have them, too? This nifty all-in-one device has an MP3 player, flashlight, alarm, stopwatch, camera, and more! Better yet, the rechargeable battery lasts up to 7 days. Don’t worry; it also comes with parental controls!
3. An Instant Print Camera
Kids today can take pictures on their phones, 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? This three-in-one deal also comes with over 60 sheets of film and a carrying case.
4. Books
Audrey Hepburn once said that Paris is always a good idea. We feel the same way about books! Maybe you don’t want to get your grandkids an E-reader (perfectly understandable). So instead, get them some physical books!

5. Art Supplies
Kids are naturally imaginative and drawn (pun intended) to creative activities like drawing and painting. This deluxe art kit comes with 2 large sketchbooks, 1 coloring book, and hundreds of tools ready to help your grandchild create their next masterpiece. This set is great for beginners, pros, and every artist in between.
