You put a lot of time and energy into finding that perfect gift for your loved ones, but shopping for grandparents isn’t always easy. That’s why I’ve put together this list of recommended products that will bring a smile to their face. Not to late to order for Christmas and get it shipped overnighted! Grandparents will love the thoughtfulness and practicality of these gifts.

As I was reading, I came across an article by Consumer Reports , that is clearly unrealistic in price and expectation’s from our loved ones. Our gifts should be thoughtful and come from the heart. Consumer reports recommends products that they say are sure to put a smile on a grandparents face this holiday season the price range is anywhere from

Kindle Paperwhite, $120

iClebo Arte YCR-M05, $450 (  robot vacuum cleaner)

Clear20 CWS100A Water Filter, $30

Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind Bagless UH70120, $130

Dyson AM09 Space Heater, $450

After reading this article , clearly the person wrote it has no clue or is insanely rich. The average person can’t afford this and the average grandparent wouldn’t expect their children to spend that kind of money on them.

Here is a list that Thehypothyroidismchick.com has thrown together.

With dozens of choices and options for customization, Blurb books fit into any budget or lifestyle. With options to make books from Instagram photos, Facebook photos, the photos on your hard drive or a combination of all three, it’s never been easier to get printed photos into the hands of loved ones.

Another gift that is for them now, yet benefits generations of your family for years to come. Grandparents can fill out their own stories and tales in response to prompts and questions such as “What do you know now that you wish you had known when you were younger?” or “Explain your deepest values.” While many young children won’t recognize the importance and value of such wisdom now, years down the road as they become parents they will no doubt appreciate the words of their own grandparents recorded for posterity.

20. Photo Blanket

I know when I picture old age, it involves me in a very comfy chair with a very cozy blanket. Why not wrap those whom you love the most with the people who love them the most?
