Ideas and gift guides for your grandparents
The gift they'll keep by their chair
Grandparents have everything, and what they really want is the family around them. A book of reasons is the next best thing: fifty reasons the family adores them, from the card games they let you win to the stories that always end with how they met, with the two of them illustrated on the cover.
Make it from one grandchild or from the whole family. You answer a few questions about them, we help you write the reasons in your own words, and you choose how they're illustrated. To gather reasons from cousins, aunts and uncles, make it a group book: send one link, and everyone adds their reasons, each signed with their name.
It suits a birthday, Grandparents Day, an anniversary or Christmas, when there's You're Our Favourite Tradition by the fire. For more ideas, see our 40 gifts for grandparents and Christmas gifts for grandparents.
What is a good personalized gift for grandparents?+
One with the family in it. A book of fifty reasons, written from the grandkids' memories and with the two of them illustrated on the cover, says what grandparents rarely hear out loud, and it's the kind of gift they keep by their chair.
Can the whole family add reasons?+
Yes. Make it a group book: send one link, and everyone adds up to five reasons, each signed with their name. A group book is $25 as a digital book and $79 in hardcover.
When is Grandparents Day?+
In the US, Grandparents Day is the first Sunday after Labor Day, in September. The digital book opens as soon as you pay, so it works even if you remember on the Saturday.
How much does it cost?+
The digital book is $12 (£9) and the hardcover is $49 (£39), with the digital book included. Ordering is open: make your book, read every page, then order the digital book or a printed copy.
Illustrated in the style you choose
Sketch your characters, pick a style, and we illustrate three versions for you to choose from.
