This story is part of Gift Guide, our year-round collection of the best gift ideas.
There’s no one quite like Grandma and Grandpa. They love us unconditionally. They connect us with our heritage and traditions. They always have our favorite snacks on hand. And they love to break the rules. I mean, who else is going to sneak you out for ice cream when Dad says no?
Many grandparents put in hours of work helping raise grandkids, shuttling them to practice and telling bedtime stories. Plus, Bubbe and Pepaw are always there for you with a hug and words of encouragement, and the holidays are a perfect time to throw some of that love and appreciation right back at ’em.
A handmade present or personalized gift always goes a long way. But if you’re looking to really spoil Gram and Gramps this year, we’ve rounded up 13 solid gifts for grandparents that they’re sure to love (especially since it’s coming from you).

Grandma and grandpa love talking about their heritage. Why not help them learn more about it with a DNA kit? 23andMe is one of CNET’s favorite DNA testing services, thanks to its ease of use. The basic ancestry and traits test includes an analysis of your genetic makeup including your regions of origin, maternal and paternal lineage and Neanderthal ancestry. Once you opt in, the company’s match database — which has more than 10 million profiles — will identify and offer to connect you with people who share a DNA match with you.
