Top Gifts for Grandparents: Subscription Boxes & Care Packages
Updated by Timothy Paradis
Connections between the older and younger generations of a family are so important, and there’s never been a better moment than now to maintain those connections and develop deeper, tighter bonds with our grandparents. Celebrate Grandparent's Day in September or send a little something to bring on a smile with some of the best subscription boxes that are either curated for or well-suited to our more mature loved ones. No matter the day on the calendar, our grandparents deserve a grand-box of goodies!
Gifts are personal, and we have a little something for folks with all kinds of different interests on the Cratejoy market. So, whether you’re looking to send a little joy, keep them entertained with a new hobby, or find the perfect gift to celebrate retirement or another trip around the sun, we’ve got plenty of happy mail to choose from! Read on for some of our favorite monthly subscription boxes for Grandma and Grandpa.
Best Subscription Boxes to Gift Older Generations
Functional Gift Boxes
The days of maximalism have passed, and no one wants a useless gift that’s going to take up valuable closet space. This is especially true as you get older and have accumulated a lifetime’s worth of possessions and gifts. A subscription box like the Spiffy Socks Subscription is full of thoughtful, practical gifts that all are sure to use and enjoy—filled with items such as crossword puzzles, snacks, and even oh-so-cozy socks!
Unique Gift Boxes
Although not all grandparents are natural crafters, we know that they will do anything to keep their children and grandchildren a little closer in their lives. That’s why we recommend purchasing subscription boxes that incorporate creative activities with revisiting joyous memories. Gift boxes such as Adult DIY Home Decor & Craft Projects | Creative Hive Makers by The Curated Hive will provide all the materials for your grandparents to create their own book of remembrances, while others, like Puzzling Newspaper Subscription - The Hincks Gazette , will encourage them to reach out even more.
Gift Boxes for the Grandparent Who Already Has Everything
Some grandparents in your life are especially hard to buy for—They already have everything they need! In that case, we recommend a gift box that will curate an experience, rather than bringing new, unneeded objects into their home. Therapeutic Garden Box is a great option for our aging family members that have a yard, while Airplant Box can bring a gardening experience into any home.
