Need something sentimental to give Grandma? A dainty necklace with a heart charm and her grandchild’s initial are perfect for a woman who likes minimal jewelry. The Glimmerst Initial Heart Necklace is stainless steel plated in 18-karat gold, so it won’t turn her neck green, and should stand the test of time (just like her love for her grandbabies).

If Grandma is a baker, then they are going to fall in love with this great last-minute gift for grandmas. Grandma’s Magic Baking Spoon is a kitchen utensil designed just for her.

At 1.13 ounces, the spoon is light enough to manipulate but big enough to really mix up, say, a batch of brownies. And who wouldn't love that?

Ask anyone and they will tell you some of their most treasured memories involve the kitchen. That's why the My Family Cookbook is the perfect keepsake for family recipes to which only your grandparent knows the secret ingredients. Pages include room for recording recipes and even attaching a photo for reference. Now instead of asking Grandma every year to remind you of how she makes her signature gravy, you can have her record it in this book as a keepsake you both can refer to again and again. With 80 pages, there’s plenty of room to store all the family recipes and with generous margins, you can add on notes without having to sacrifice important steps.

You can be the worst procrastinator of all time but still snag an HBO Max Streaming Subscription as a last-minute gift for Grandpa to watch his crime shows. Bonus points if you get it set up on all the TVs in the house for them, and their tablet too, if they have one. Grandma and Grandpa will both love this gift, especially because it’s ad-free, and they can find plenty of family-friendly movies to watch when the grandkids come over.

Everyone could use a better night of sleep, and the 47,000 reviews on this YnM Weighted Blanket suggest it provides exactly that. It comes in 15 sizes and 31 colors to fit well in any bedroom.

And it happens to arrive within two days, so it’s a great last-minute gift for grandparents.

OK, so yes, this last minute gift for grandparents is technically pictures of your child, but you know they’ll love that. The Skylight Frame is a digital picture frame that showcases rotating images of whatever you wish to fill it with. A great way to stay in touch when you’re far away from grandparents, all it needs to operate is a Wi-Fi connection and an outlet. The 10-inch color touch-screen displays photos in high resolution. Give the email info to friends and family and they can send the frame new photos whenever they want.

If Grandma or Grandpa enjoy a hot cup of coffee every morning, they’ll love it even more if they can drink it from a mug their grandchild decorated. This Paint Your Own Mug DIY Kit from Uncommon Goods comes with the mug, paints, brush, and stickers. Once they’re done designing, stick your child’s work of art in the oven to set the paint and make it permanent. If you’re going truly last-minute with this gift, give it to Grandma blank and pitch it as a fun activity to do together.

Print a few holiday dessert recipes out and include them in the gift to help get the fun started.

Going on neighborhood strolls or enjoying a porch sit is better with something good to drink.

The best last-minute gifts for grandmas say something without saying something. In this case the message is “come visit anytime!” And isn’t that just what Grandma wants to hear? This gorgeous Canvas Weekend Bag says that loud and clear and looks gorgeous as well. Made of sturdy cotton canvas and leather accents and trim, even just a visit to the grands will feel like a grand adventure when she’s toting this bag.

If your grandparent likes reading but can’t get to the library often, or enjoys playing a little solitaire, a tablet can help on both fronts.
