If you’re a mom-to-be, then the time has come to think about what gifts your grandparents might want for their grandchild.
People have so many more options than they ever have in the past. It can be hard to keep up with it all.
I’ve put together a list of 27+ gifts that will surely please any new grandma or grandpa!
Whether this is the first or second grandbaby…or the 8th or 9th, you’ll want to celebrate the new addition to the family with gifts that will bring joy to the whole family.
You can use these gifts to share the news of a little one on the way, or save them for Christmas, birthdays, mother’s day gift, father’s day, or just any day you feel like celebrating.
A grandbaby is all about new beginnings.
They are definitely something to celebrate!
27+ Gifts for Expectant Grandparents
If you’re looking for gifts for grandparents expecting another baby, here are 27 heartwarming gifts that will make them love you even more than they already do.
(At the moment it only has 27 but I like to add things occasionally so who knows how long this list will eventually get.)
1) Grandparents Wooden Sign
Looking for an adorable way to do a 1st pregnancy announcement baby reveal with your parents in 2022? I absolutely love this stylish wooden sign.
Just think of the excitement the expectant grandmother will have when she unwraps this gift and sees she’s going to be a grandmother!

2) Custom Wine Label
Pregnant with your second baby? This is the perfect gift for grandparents-to-be.
Invite them over for dinner, and hand off a bottle of wine with this custom wine bottle label on it. See how long it takes them to figure it out!
While this is meant to be a wine label, you can always put it on a bottle of sparkling cider so you can partake in some bubbly too. 😉
3) Coffee Mug Set
Have coffee-loving grandparents? This is the perfect set for them—they will drink out of these mugs for years to come!
This simple two-tone coffee mug set can be customized to have their preferred grandparent name on it which I love. It’s really nice for those with more obscure grandparent names.

Think of this like a baby book, only written specifically as a gift for expectant grandparents! They can write details about the baby shower, first memories, and even add pearls of wisdom for your little one to read later in life.
