What is a good gift for an elderly grandmother?

Something she will use daily and would not buy herself: a good hand cream, a bath oil, a scented candle, a fragrance in the size she likes. A jigsaw with larger pieces if she enjoys them, and plenty of visits.

What do you buy a grandma who has everything?

Consumables from a better brand than she buys, and things that make an evening nicer — a candle, a puzzle, a tin of the good biscuits alongside. She has the objects; buy the treats.

How much should grandchildren spend?

Whatever they can; she measures the thought and the visit, not the receipt. £10–30 from a grandchild is a proper present; a card that was actually written matters more than the number.

Gifts for grandma

Grandmothers are the people most likely to say "you shouldn't have" and most likely to have the gift, still boxed, on a shelf a year later. The gifts that escape the shelf are the ones that get used the same week.

This list is those: hand and body care from brands a step nicer than the chemist, a candle, a fragrance she already wears, and the jigsaws that are a fortnight of evenings. Real UK prices, in stock.

She will not make a wishlist unless someone sits with her for five minutes. Do that once, and every birthday after is sorted.
