It might not seem like much of a gift to you but, believe me, these things are appreciated by older folks.
Hey you're assuming grandma is old, lol. I have a step grandson who is 18 and I am 49. I would not like him to read to me





OP-Is there any way you can make the trip there for the holidays? I agree with spending some time with them individually.

And then

Food gifts and experiences. You might want to try Groupon for some deals on things like cooking classes, spas, cooking magazines etc.



I would continue to send birthday cards maybe with a special note inside.

One time my dad (who lives 2 streets over) just asked me to write him a letter.
That's all he wanted.

Parents and Grandparents love pictures. Depending on your budget have you thought about getting some professional pictures taken of you with siblings or cousins? Even if you can't afford professional pictures, almost everyone has a friend who is pretty good with a camera. You can then find the perfect frame and I'm sure they will love it! #TheWaterBrooke
