Not moms this time, but those we affectionately call Granny, Nanny, Nana, or Grandma. It’s the perfect opportunity to remind them just how much they mean to us. To inspire you, we’ve put together a selection of gift ideas tailored to each zodiac sign, because an Aries grandmother doesn’t have the same tastes as a Pisces one! Finding the perfect present for your “happy granny” isn’t always easy: at their age, they know what they like and have nothing left to prove. So here are a few ideas to help you give her a gift that truly suits her, a thoughtful gesture that will make her eyes shine and never go out of style.
Go to:
Grandma Aries
Spirited and full of energy: Grandma Aries is frank, lively, and full of life. Unless you know her tastes very well, avoid giving her something outdated or ordinary that every woman of her generation already owns. You’ll hit the mark by giving her something that matches her dynamic personality. A stationary bike would be perfect to help her stay fit, or perhaps a membership to a local club if there’s one nearby.
Grandma Taurus
The sweet and homely grandma: Grandma Taurus loves above all to enjoy peaceful days, either alone or surrounded by her loved ones. She’s generous with her grandchildren and loves to spoil them with her culinary talents. A shiny new cookware set or a box of exceptional chocolates would be perfect to satisfy her sweet tooth.
Grandma Gemini
Loves to chat and connect: A Gemini grandma loves to play, move, talk, share, and read. You’ll have no trouble pleasing her, since she already enjoys playing games with her grandchildren. A puzzle book that stimulates her intellect would be a great start. You could also gift her a smartphone so she can stay in touch with her loved ones.
Grandma Cancer
Family is sacred: Grandma Cancer has a heart as big as the world. She’s affectionate, dreamy, gentle, and deeply caring. Anything that reminds her of family will delight her. Don’t hesitate to give her a printed photo album filled with cherished family memories. She would also be thrilled by a surprise family weekend getaway — whether in the countryside or an unfamiliar city, depending on her taste.
Grandma Leo
Shining at any age: The Leo grandma is elegant and vibrant, always eager to maintain her sense of style in social settings. If you find her a chic outfit or a refined perfume, she’ll be delighted. A delicate and distinguished piece of jewelry will remind her how much you admire her. To her, the gift itself is meaningful, no cheap trinkets, please.
Grandma Virgo
Neat and organized: Naturally meticulous, the Virgo grandma focuses on cleanliness, order, and daily routines that bring her peace of mind. She would appreciate an electronic planner to keep track of her appointments. A weekend at a spa would also be wonderful for her, especially if she’s surrounded by her family or best friends.
Grandma Libra
The stylish grandma: The Libra grandma is very sociable and loves to go out and have fun. A quirky surprise outing or a cultural stroll would bring her great joy. She has a refined sense of taste and elegance, making her a smart and sophisticated senior. Give her something beautiful, striking, and elegant, perhaps an art book, a design object, or some scented candles. She’ll love it!
Grandma Scorpio
A strong personality: The Scorpio grandma has undeniable charm; she embraces life with intensity and a touch of mystery. Fascinated by enigmas or anything with an indefinable allure, she’d love a spiritual gift, such as a Native American bracelet infused with healing energy. A visit to an exhibit about ancient, vanished civilizations would also appeal to her refined tastes.
Grandma Sagittarius
Adventurous and passionate: The Sagittarius grandma loves life in all its richness and variety. A ticket to a new destination, a chance to change scenery, would be the perfect gift to nourish her inner world. As a food lover, she would also be thrilled by an invitation to a fine restaurant where she can enjoy a great meal with her loved ones.
Grandma Capricorn
Always on schedule: The Capricorn grandma feels perfectly comfortable with her solitude and her well-organized days. She loves things with history, memory and antiques fascinate her. You can’t go wrong giving her a vintage item (something with character, not kitsch). A watch or a clock would also suit her well, since time is her greatest ally.
Grandma Aquarius
Trendy and tech-savvy: The Aquarius grandma is open-minded and endlessly curious about innovation and new inventions. She’s also very tech-forward, which gives her a lively and original edge. A touchscreen tablet would awaken her curiosity about the world, or an e-reader filled with bold novels and books on scientific progress would make her just as happy.
Grandma Pisces
Deeply sensitive: The Pisces grandma is loving and imaginative. She understands her grandchildren because she’s still a bit childlike herself, dreamy and drawn to gentle, ethereal beauty. A musical show that matches her tastes would be deeply appreciated. A rejuvenating spa weekend would also do wonders for her body and spirit.
