Sometimes it’s difficult to think of gifts to buy for your grandkids, and it can be even more difficult to think of gift ideas for yourself when friends or family ask what you want for Christmas.
Legacy Coalition is pleased to compile an updated list of gift ideas from our store and resource partners to help you as you Christmas shop this year.
We’ve included links and details when possible. Please note that many of the gift ideas are great for all ages!

Thank you SO VERY much for giving gift ideas. You know about love languages. Well, gift giving is on the BOTTOM of my list. A young lady that I had worked with also had this situation. She said, “Bad gifts, eh?” I nodded. So in a way, I live in fear of Christmas and birthdays. Anniversaries not so much because I take my beloved out on a date or on a trip. I can do THAT! Thank you from all of us gift challenged people.
Thank you so much for ideas and reminders to be intentional grandparents at all times!
