Finding the perfect gift is especially challenging when it is for your grandparents. They may say they loved the present as it came from you, but they certainly deserve better things.
Some of them may like the old school stuff like a coffee mug, bird feeder, or a memory album. But others may have been a little up-to-date with modern technologies, so digital gifts seem best for them.
So here we bring a quick list of the most thoughtful digital gifts you can give your grandparents without giving them a hard time figuring out the specs or digging a hole in your pocket.
1. Smartphone
What could be more sensible than helping your grandparents upgrade from their old school feature phone to a new but easy to use a smartphone? Go with something you are familiar with but might interest your grandparents and their comfort levels.
Recommending a particular model may be somewhat beyond the scope of this article, but we can certainly guide you on a few apps to install on their phone, starting with games such as a block puzzle.
The one by Easybrain, available on the Play Store and App Store, is the easiest and most enjoyable. Your grandparents will have a great time playing games on their new phones. A few other helpful apps you can install are free communication, entertainment, and medical/ therapeutic apps.
2. Google Home
Having a digital assistant is easy and fun to use, not just for us but also for our grandparents. A device like Google Home will fill your grandma or grandpa with whatever they want to know. It can answer questions, play music, keep track of their tasks, and simply work on voice commands plus their smartphone.
3. Digital Photo Frame
A photo frame may be a clichéd gift item, but you can never go wrong with it, especially if it is a digital one. So get your grandparents a digital frame and load it with all the best portraits of their dog, vacation, family, and everything that may be important for them.
4. Tile Tracker
For grandparents who always keep misplacing stuff, this tile finder is a game-changer. Just loop the tile onto the keyring or slide it into their wallet, and track the missing belonging with its Bluetooth connected mobile app.
5. Kindle
So many of our grandparents still have a thing for reading. Kindle is something none of us need an explanation to, but it is certainly a gift that can be something new to them. E-reading has its own pleasure, plus it is one of a kind device, especially for those people who hate lugging heavy novels back and forth.
There you have it – the best gifts for your grandparents.
Gifting them a budgeted smartphone is one of the best choices as it helps them play their favorite block puzzle, read, watch movies, make calls, and do so much more.
So wait no more and get their first-ever innovative gift!
