Gifts for Grandkids: 2013 Holiday Season Guide

Posted by Alexandra Sheehan on November 25, 2013 in Grandparents

If you’re not sure what to get the grandchildren for the holidays this season—or even if you’re searching for gift ideas year-round—these gifts for grandkids are sure to bring smiles to their faces.

Please all of the grandchildren on your list.  Spend less time stressing about what to buy and more time actually bonding with the gifts for grandkids.

Toys

If you have a whole brood of grandchildren to shop for, Amazon makes holiday shopping painless. Simply peruse the listings of toys for your favorite little grandchildren. There’s something for all ages. Whether he’s a little tyke with a love of trains, or a princess who loves playing dress-up, you can get all of your holiday shopping done with a few clicks. Another convenience? Delivery straight to your doorstep, so you don’t even have to leave the house!

A great way to get something personal for your grandchild is with an old-school toy that you may have had as a child. Visit the Melissa and Doug website, where you can browse by age, category and toy type. There is a whole list of classic toys that are sure to take you down memory lane and help you share a special memory with your grandkids.

Nothing says ‘I Love You’ more than a bear you’ve created just for your grandchild. Create and customize a stuffed animal from Build-a-Bear. Stuffed animals are always a hit with the little ones, and if you live far away, this is also a way for you to be with your grandchild all the time, in the form of a furry little friend. You can even record an audio message to put in the bear. Another option is to get a gift certificate so that you can have a special bonding day when you build the bear together.

Learn something new

Childhood years are imperative to cognitive growth and intellectual development. If you want to find something that can help your grandchild advance and develop new skills, perhaps it’s worth looking into something other than a toy.

Books are essential to learning processes when children are young, and storytime offers a perfect way for you to spend some quality grandparenting time. Some great new titles to check out include The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, Cinders by Jan Brett and Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker and Tom Lichtenheld.

Do you think these little learners have what it takes to master a new language? Check out Little Pim, a comprehensive language learning program designed especially for young children. Who knows? Maybe you can learn a few new words alongside the grandkids!

Something trendy

If you’re a grandparent who wants to be up on the latest trends, great gifts for grandkids include the latest video games, fashion items and kid-friendly technology. Disney has a whole list of family-friendly video games to choose from. Check out this list of brands for trendy fashion items for school-aged children. Technology and electronics are always a hit among the grandkids. Crayola has a line of DigiTools products, technological items that allow children to express themselves and explore their creativity in a high-tech way.

Another hot item among the grandkids are Crocs. Purchase a pair in your grandchild’s favorite color. Go the extra mile and get accessories to put on the Crocs so that your gift is personal, full of love and sure to bring big smiles to the children’s faces. Grab a pair for yourself while you’re at it—they are super comfortable!

No matter the budget or the length of your shopping list, these gifts for grandkids will help you check off all of the boxes on your list.

What gifts will you be giving the grandchildren this holiday season?
