yolobookA gift for grandma and grandad they'll flick through every day
Grandparents don't spend their days scrolling on phones, but they'll proudly keep an album of their grandchildren on the coffee table to show every visitor. Turn the photos already on your phone into a keepsake they can wake up to every morning.
Grandparents love looking at photos of their grandchildren more than anyone, but they're the least likely to hunt for them on a smartphone. That's why printed memories mean more to them than almost any shop-bought gift. You don't even need a special occasion: birthdays, Christmas, New Year or just popping over for a cup of tea are all the perfect excuse to bring them their grandchildren in print.

Ready in just a few minutes

7 gift ideas for grandma and grandad
- 1
"A Year of the Grandchildren" Album
Pick a few photos for every month of the year and arrange them in order. Grandma gets a real story of how the grandchildren have grown, rather than just a pile of pictures. A hardback cover and up to 92 photos are more than enough for the entire year.

A Calendar of the Grandchildren for Every Month
Put a group photo on the cover, and feature one grandchild or a seasonal moment for each month: sledging in January, a seaside trip in July. The calendar hangs on the wall all year round, bringing a fresh photo on the first of every month.

"Sunday Lunches at Grandma's" Album
Photos from family get-togethers, celebrations and Sunday lunches. This is an album where grandma and grandad see themselves surrounded by family, and one they'll gladly show to every visitor.
- 4
YoloBox for the Fridge and Purse
60 retro Polaroid-style prints—plenty for grandma to update the fridge, slip one into her purse and share a few with the neighbours.
- 5
"Then and Now" Album
Scan or snap old family photos and place them side by side with new ones: grandad at your age, then you, then your child. An album like this often brings the most happy tears and stories around the table.
- 6
An Album Made by the Grandchildren
Let the kids pick the photos and the order themselves. It might not be perfect, but grandma will know her grandchild chose them, and that's what truly counts.

YoloTiles Hexa Wall Gallery
Stick-on hexagonal photo tiles that go up without nails or drilling. A set of 6 or 9 photos turns any hallway into a family gallery.
Sfat
Make two copies: one for grandma and grandad, another for home. The grandchildren will ask for it whenever they go round to visit.
How to choose photos for grandma and grandad
Choose photos where faces can be clearly seen. Grandparents often have weaker eyesight, so close-ups and well-lit photos are a much better choice than distant group shots. If there are several grandchildren, make sure everyone gets equal space: it definitely gets noticed.
Include photos of the grandparents themselves. Most grandparents have very few pictures with their grandchildren, because they're always the ones holding the phone or shy away from the camera. A photo with a grandchild on their lap often means more than ten photos of the child alone.
Go for a larger format if grandma and grandad live on their own and the album will be centre stage in the living room. Choose a smaller format if they want to carry it with them or show it when visiting friends. And if you can't decide, a calendar is a gift they'll enjoy every single day.
