These Memory Books for Grandparents Make Such a Sweet Gift
Odds are, you feel as much fondness for your children's grandparents (or your own grandparents!) as Ree Drummond does. Of her own mother, the grandmother of her children, she gushes, "People come away from having talked to her feeling a little more hopeful about life."
This year, why not celebrate that special bond by presenting your favorite duo with one of the memory books for grandparents we've compiled here? Whether their birthday is coming up, a Mother's Day gift is in order, or the holiday season is nearing, there's always a great reason to grab a few gifts for grandparents—and these books are some of the most special we've seen. Each one offers thought-provoking prompts to help them chronicle their life stories in fresh, new ways that are exciting both for them and their grandkids. It's a two-in-one gift...and don't forget that having access to those memories is a gift for you, too!
Maybe you're looking specifically for gifts for grandmas, in which case you might fall in love with Tell Me Your Life Story, Grandma, a memory book just for grandmothers. But if you don't want to leave your kids' grandfather out of the fun, we've got plenty of joint grandparents memory books, including several cloth-bound, keepsake-ready options. Prepare to delight the whole family with these picks!
