I work at WaterPik, happy to see we made the list!!
So happy to see this, I specifically requested stuff for grandparents! However, I was a little disappointed at the price tags. My family loves to give gifts but we typically don’t spend more than $50 per person (or $100 for a joint gift). Maybe we’re the minority. Love the ideas though. I’d certainly love to receive any of these!
I really try to focus on a variety of price points for that reason! There are 6 gifts $50 and under and a couple under $20! Of course you could also use these to spark ideas. Maybe the UGG slippers are out of your price range, but warm slippers are always a great idea.
This list is magic! Especially love the New York Times book and personalized stamp-perfect for shaky hands! Thank you!!
LOVE that you included a waterpik, it makes my hygienist heart so happy!! (And I'm glad your mom uses it and loves it!)
