It’s quite normal to feel that buying presents for your grandparents is hard. They are elderly and therefore a lot of thought needs to go into finding a gift that they would appreciate. However, if you do a little searching, you’ll be surprised at the range of suitable products available for them. I am not talking about a pair of slippers or a jumper, but unique gifts that you would probably not find in the high street. In the article, I am going to highlight some of the unique and often useful gifts for grandma and grandpa.
The Lav Nav (toilet night light)- you probably would not associate gadgets with the 
elderly, but the Lav Nav is a great little gadget that only appeals to the young, but also to the old due to it’s useful and functional nature. For many years, men and women have been falling out over the position of the toilet seat. Women want it down, men want it up. Most woman have, at one time or another, taken a sleepy trip to the bathroom only to sit on a toilet when the seat has been left up which apparently is not very nice. Waking in the night to go to the toilet is a common scenario, especially with the elderly. The Lav Nav could be the answer. This small, contoured, unit attaches easily to the toilet seat with the enclosed adhesive strip. Its built-in sensor is triggered by movement. Its ingenious sensors assess the position of the seat. When you walk up to the toilet in a darkened room, it lights up green if the toilet seat is down, red if it is up.

Historic Map Gift Box- This gift entitles your grandparent to a historic map of the traditional English county they live in. The UK has 39 traditional counties that were established many hundreds of years ago but Thomas Moule and have been the foundation of English geography for centuries. As well as receiving a magnificent historic map, the recipient of this gift also has the fascinating opportunity to see how their county looked more than a century ago.
Trace your Family History Gift Box- This gift box enables your grandparent to discover the history behind their surname and delve further into their family tree. Once they have registered their gift they will be sent their surname history printed on an illustrative certificate. This information is provided by a team of heraldic and genealogical researchers who have researched more than 80,000 different names. There is also a book enclosed inside the gift box called ‘The Best Beginners Guide to Tracing Your Family History’ which may help them uncover the origin of their family. There is also a blank family tree enclosed so they can record the forgotten names that they discover. The Mind trainer Toilet Roll- the Mind Trainer Toilet Roll, that encourages you to train
your brain as your drain. The toilet roll has 10 different puzzles/games imprinted onto it (in colour): including puzzles, brain exercises, Sudoku and memory games. I would highly recommend The Mind Trainer Toilet Roll as a gift for grandparents. At first it may seem a little daft to give such a novelty gift for the elderly. However, there is an obvious benefit in using the Mind Trainer Toiler Roll as ‘brain’ exercise. The fact that it combines novelty and usefulness adds a touch of light humour to the gift.Diner Dirt Buster- It is a mini vacuum cleaner in the shape of either a Classic Cheeseburger or Muffin. Being handheld, it is extremely light and portable. Moreover, with strong enough suction to pick up the crumbs from your grandma's infamous Apple Pie to bits of everyday dirt around the home, it’s a yet another useful gadget for grandparents.
These are some of the unique yet useful gifts for the elderley. Of course there are many more in the marketplace which i have seen. You do not have to buy yet another pair of slippers!
