Christmas Ideas for Grandma?

Both of my grandmas have always appreciated custom calendars created using family pictures. In the past, I've always used Shutterfly.com, but this year I'll probably try the iPhoto calendars. At $19.99, it's a little above your price range, but you'll get big props from grandma for this one.
I'm in the same boat. She's one of the tougher people to buy for. Especially because she returns (or trys to) just about anything I get her, even Gift Cards. Sometimes I get luckly with a nice sweater or slippers. And this might sound stupid but what about a basket of toiletries or similar items. It'll save her a trip to the drug store. My grandmother likes when I do silly things like that.
I'm intrigued to know.
No you don't. His answer is simply too dirty for the average mind.
Grandmas need Lube too. Probably more than most.
You'd probably need to do a bit of dusting too. Otherwise, the dust will just stick to the sides.
She actually has a large bottle of KY under her sink- it's not for sexual purposes, but as some sort of arthritic rub- HOW- I do not want to know
Would grandma like a year of my spotting pictures and the girls I went to Flor-e-duh with? I think not (sadly)
a) No starbucks near her
b) She can't have coffee
She doesn't have/believe in CD players or tapes
Get your own catch-phrase, alright? I don't know who you are trying to impress, but you REALLY p*** me off sometimes.
God.
Buy her a dvd. Find a year that was special to her, her 21st birthday or when she got married. Then choose a film that was one of the oscar winners that year, try to see if one of them has her favourite actor or actress in it.
Does she sew or knit? You get her some kind of sewing/knitting pattern along with threads/wool etc.
I second the idea of a photo album.
It would also be nice (and free) to make a commitment to spend more time with her. I bet she'd love to just see you more and talk with you about whatever crosses your mind. Grandparents don't live forever, and before you know it, they've passed on. I wish I'd spent more time with mine before they were gone.

One word: candles.
Most people love 'em and it makes their house smell good (or at least better).

Thanks for this idea. I read this thread last week and I made a calendar for my grandma, complete with everyone's birthday and large numbers. I ordered it on Saturday and I had it in my hands on Wednesday. They really are high quality and they come in a neat little box. She's going to love it
