These sentimental tokens will remind her of the ones who have her heart—her children and grandchildren. 01 of 16 Courtesy of Bryr It's a universal truth: There's simply no one like Grandma. She likely played a formidable role in raising you, serving as an extension of your own parents. She taught you about your lineage, how to make that perfected-through-the-ages family recipe (after swearing you to secrecy first!), and shaped you into the person that you are right now. And while you know you don't need an excuse or a particular reason to celebrate her, since every day you get to spend with her is a holiday of sorts, there is one built right into the calendar year: Mother's Day. Even though you might not be able to be together this year due to COVID-19, you can still show her you care with the perfect gift. This holiday, show your grandmother how much she means to you (she did, after all, give you your mom and dad!) with a thoughtful present that she's bound to love. Not sure exactly what to get your grandma for Mother's Day? That's where we come in. From a treat-filled basket curated by Martha herself to a sophisticated fragrance to supplement her signature go-to, there are plenty of gifts on this list that suit her particular tastes. We thought about her comfort, too, incorporating cozy, silky loungewear sets, cashmere bed socks, and warm wool blankets—and also considered her skill set (just wait until she gets her hands on the crochet blanket project ahead!). Ultimately, there is bound to be a gift or two—at all price points, if you and your siblings are looking to split something—here that will let Grandma know how much you care. 02 of 16 Floral Fragrance Courtesy of Jo Malone Sure, she has a fragrance that she wears every day—but when's the last time she selected a special, just-because perfume?
