The Ultimate Grandmacore Gift Guide to Embrace Cozy Comfort

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

With people leaning into cozy aesthetics and relaxing activities, Grandmacore is having a serious moment. Finding the right Grandmacore gift for your cozy-loving giftee doesn’t have to be a challenge because you have a secret weapon — us. Do you know how many of us editors and writers (proudly) have total “Grandma” energy? After all, many of us majored in English — we essentially majored in books!

I have long said that I am simply an old lady in waiting. Sure, I may be a mom with young kids right now, but you’d never know that by my hobbies and how I like to spend my time. I also know many people like me embracing their inner grannies, so I’ve made the Grandmacore gift guide of their dreams for them. (And mine, too.) No matter whether your grandma-loving giftee likes to craft, has a relaxing cuppa, or just happens to love a cozy atmosphere to live in, there is going to be something on this list for them.

Dried Lavender (2 Bunches)

They look good, they smell good, they’re even a little — dare I say it? — witchy. (Grandmacore and witchy have a ton of overlap!) You get two bunches of dried lavender, each 16 inches tall, wrapped in parchment and raffia.

Scottish Gift Set

A set ready for the perfect tea. Two different types of tea, shortbread and chocolate chip cookies, and honey, all wrapped in a classic red box with a tartan ribbon fit for wannabe grams everywhere.

Embroidery Starter Kit for Beginners (3-Pack)

I really want to learn how to embroider, but it feels kind of like a lot. With this kit, I wouldn’t need to worry about getting supplies, a pattern, or artistic talent that I don’t have, because it is all included in this kit.

Women’s Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas

There’s nothing more Grandma than plaid pajamas or a nightgown. More people wear pajamas these days, so why not get the very best set? These get better and better with each launder. I have had my pair for an embarrassingly long time, and I love them.

Blue Flowers Porcelain Tea Set

A tea set is a non-negotiable in Grandmaland. This set is especially charming with tiny ceramic spoons to stir the tea with, dainty glasses, a sugar bowl, and a cream pitcher. Get some cookies and you’re all done.

Handmade Crochet Throw Blanket

Picture it: You’re sitting at the window, cup of tea beside you, working on your embroidery, with this afghan across your lap. It’s pretty darned perfect, am I right?

Floral Shopping Tote Bag with Garden Flower Pattern

Sure, the Trader Joe’s bag may be trendy, but nothing will beat a sturdy, stand-up grocery tote in a floral pattern. Although it’s not just for shopping: It’s a lovely tote for all your grandma’s needs.

Watercolor Paint Set

Watercolor is definitely a grandma activity, but this set makes it a little more youthful by incorporating iridescent and neon paints into the palette.

The set comes with paint, brushes, a marker, an eraser, and even a 10-sheet pad of watercolor paper.

Rebel Rose Perfume

Rose perfumes are 100% Grandmacore, and this is one of my favorites. The florals hit you first, but then you get a hint of a fireplace and roasting marshmallows once it dries down on your skin. And this perfume has staying power.

Bella Glasses

Our editors are into this trend, and one of our senior editors, Eunice Lucero-Lee, is all about this model, loving the 1950s style combined with the fresh colorway. Plus, for under $200? Amazing.

Copper Compression Socks for Women

A chief tenet of Grandmacore is comfort. One of the most comfortable things you can own is a good pair of compression socks, says beauty editor Nicole Saunders, who loves this brand for its comfort, value, and fun patterns.

3-Piece Quilt Set Quilted Bedspread

If you’re a grandma and don’t have a quilt, are you even a grandma? This quilt is quite sweet with a floral pattern I adore — and did you happen to see that price? That’s for a Queen-size quilt plus two shams. Come on, frugal grandma.

The Organic Cotton Relaxed Cardigan

I think that cardigans are actually a required part of the grandma wardrobe, and we’re here for it. This sweater from Everlane is as soft as it is cozy, and yes, Grammy would wear it.

Embossed Wooden Rolling Pin

This isn’t only useful, it’s beautiful, too. Imagine your Grandmacore-loving friend using this to make cookies, lovingly cleaning it, and then displaying it on her counter with pride.

DIY Miniature Book Nook Kit

This is seriously so cool; if my husband doesn’t get me one, I'm going to be severely disappointed. This is the perfect Grandmacore gift for the reader! It’s a DIY book nook kit, AKA a whole little world that sits on your bookshelf between your books, with an LED light to always keep the world visible.

Blue Italian Spice Jars (Set of 6)

Are you as instantly obsessed with these spice jars as I am? I cannot with their beauty. They are a set of three from the popular brand Spode, and at just about 10 ounces a piece, they’re quite generous in size!

Glass Hummingbird Feeder

I don’t know a single grandmother who isn't obsessed with the birds outside their window. I admit, I’ve fallen into that trap myself. Granted, mine are mostly pigeons and hawks, but I love them still. If your grandma friend is somewhat there with hummingbirds, this gorgeous feeder will delight.

Smock Apron

Whoever invented this specific style of apron (Google is conflicted about whether it’s Korean or Japanese in origin), is my BFFFFFL. It is so much easier than the aprons with the ties in the back, and in this print? I am deceased. Also, Hedley and Bennett make my favorite aprons in the history of aprons, so it’s a double-whammy of awesome.

If you’re wondering if they’re worth the extra cost: I once splashed myself with burning hot liquid sugar, and because it only hit the apron, I was A-OK.

Butter Crock for Counter with Water Line

I have a different version of this butter crock and it is amazing. I always have soft butter for my bagels and muffins, and thanks to the water line, it’s kept fresher longer.

Green Chinoiserie Column Vase

Do you remember ’90s ivy-themed kitchens? This is the evolution of those, and they’ve never been more chic. They’re giving Taurus, vibes, right? Am I just saying that because I’m a Taurean, and I love it?

Clear Glass Pot Set

This is a simmer pot made of borosilicate glass pot to, yes, simmer spices that make the whole house smell gorgeous. Also, they’re great for making hot toddies, spiced wine, and various teas.

Famille Rose Herb Planter with Tray (Set of 3)

Herb gardens are wonderful and useful; why not let them be beautiful as well? This set of three ceramic planters in a delicate, decidedly grandma-like style, allows your giftee to lean into the idea of slower living and the aesthetic of grandmothers.

Joy Machine and Digital Content Library Bundle

Cricut machines are the perfect Grandmacore gift for the younger generation. They’re a new crafting tool that lets the crafter do all sorts of amazing things with transfers, stickers, embellishments, and papercraft with ease.

This isn’t just the machine, though. This Cricut Joy comes with an entire digital library ready to go!

The Brontë Sisters Boxed Set (Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Villette)

Sadly, none of the Bronte sisters had children or grandchildren, despite Charlotte and Emily’s fascinating depictions of them in their novels. However, their works are wonderful and given gorgeous treatment by Penguin with this clothbound set.

Convallaria Floral Embroidered Puff Top

I just ordered this blouse this week and I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t wait for it to arrive. It’s got that late ’40s, early ’50s style, but in easier-to-care-for fabrics.
