Grandmas are often stereotyped as frail and out of touch, but those aren't the grandmas we know.
Contrary to ageist stereotypes, grandmothers can be into anything: tech(opens in a new tab), pop culture, even powerlifting. And when the holiday season rolls around every year, it's up to you to find a gift that makes her feel seen and heard — not just as a matriarch, but as a person.
Maybe that seems like a big ask. Maybe you're tempted to cop out and get her (yet another) pair of slippers. But here's the thing: You can do so much better than that, and all it takes is a little quality time spent with your grandma to get to know her interests.
Now, setting aside those few hours to chat with Nana, Nonna, Oma, Abuela, Yia-Yia, Mimi, Geema, Gramms — whatever you call her — might be all she wants from you this year, in all honesty. But just in case you feel like going in with your siblings or cousins and getting her something a bit... well, more, we've got you covered.
