This year, we have decided to bring our 182 years of collective knowledge together and present you with the ultimate answers for the following questions: For each occasion of your grandchild's life, what would be the best gift? What is the best gift for your grandchild at different ages as they continue to grow? Once your grandchild is grown, what are some great gift ideas that they would appreciate? Baby Events As a grandparent, being able to buy gifts for your brand new grandbaby can be one of the most rewarding things you can do. Not only does it mean something very special for you, but it is also a rewarding experience for the child and the parent. For the parent, you gifting their child, your grandchild, reinforces the concept that they are in your thoughts and each event is just as special to you as it is to them. As for the child, from the very first gift, you start to build a bond that will continue to build throughout their lives. Continue as we will walk through some of the most important events that a child goes through starting from the earliest stages of their lives, and we will discuss some gift ideas we think parents and your grandchildren will enjoy and appreciate. Personalized Baby Shower Gifts from Grandparents Congratulations, your grandchild is on the way! This can be such an exciting time for you as a grandparent whether it is your very first or have several already. Getting a baby shower gift for your grandchild can be quite daunting at first, especially if you want to give something personalized that will be unique. Something to consider is a gift package where you can have the grandchild's name incorporated on the items. Many gifts come in pink, blue, or a gender neutral color, but why not take it a step further? Gift packages that include items that grow with the child are a good idea. Like the picture shown above, it includes candies for the parents, booties, a personalized blanket, a romper for your grandchild to wear, a bear for when they are a bit older, and a wagon for when they grow a bit more. A baby shower gift that grows with the child helps to show that you are looking forward to watching them grow for the years to come. Another excellent baby shower gift idea is a cute personalized bath robe. This gift is excellent for keeping your grandchildren cozy after their bath time while also showing how they can always be surrounded by your love. Getting a cute personalized robe also gives your young grandchild a gift they can grow into and after they have finally outgrown the robe they can keep it as a memorable keepsake.

The frame that is pictured above is one of our favorite ideas as a way to remember such a special event. It shows thoughtfulness and can be personalized with the child's name and the date of the dedication. The parents will be the first to treasure such a gift, but as the child grows, they will also be aware of the love that you felt for them from even the earliest stage of their lives. If you are short on time, but still want to give something that still shows your special touch, we recommend assembling a baby gift basket full of items such as baby shampoos, lotions, and bath time toys. Parents will be appreciative of such a gift. Grandparent Gifts for Granddaughter's First Birthday You may be searching high and low for the perfect gift for your granddaughter's first birthday.
