Grandparents give more than most people realise, so this Christmas, give something back that doesn't end up in a drawer. An experience is one of the best Christmas gift ideas for grandparents you'll find this year. Instead of another candle or pair of slippers, they get a day out, a taste of something new, or a moment shared with the people they love most. Whether you're after Christmas presents for grandparents who love getting out and about, or Christmas present ideas for grandparents who'd rather stay closer to home, there's something here to suit. The best Christmas gifts for grandparents are the ones that turn into stories, the kind that get told again at next year's table. Gift a story you can’t wait to hear.
This Christmas, return the love your grandparents give you all year with a gift they won't expect. Spoil them with something thoughtful and fun, whether that's an experience they'll enjoy as a couple or an activity the whole family can join in on. These gift ideas also work well for a retirement gift or a milestone birthday like a 60th.
If she loves being fussed over, book her in for the Barossa Valley High Tea Experience with Bubbles, an afternoon of tea, scones and a glass of something sparkling with her favourite people. For grandmas who'd rather unwind completely, the Alba Thermal Springs and Spa Bathing with 2 Course Dining, for two pairs a soak in the springs with a proper sit-down meal afterwards.
For grandpas who love getting behind the wheel of something special, a 1966 Mustang Coupe Full Day Car Hire in Perth gives him a full day with a genuine classic. If he's more at home on the fairway, the 18 Hole Golf Experience at Cypress Lakes Golf Club makes a great excuse for a weekend round with the family.
Not every Christmas gift needs to be just for two. The Sydney Express Whale Watching Tour gets everyone out on the water together, a good option if the grandkids are along for the day too.
Something they can look forward to and share with family is usually a better bet than another parcel under the tree. An experience with a date on the calendar gives them something to plan for, and a memory to talk about once Christmas is over.
Look for something bucket-list rather than practical. The Scenic Helicopter Flight, Wine Tasting and Vineyard Tour covers a grandma who'd love the view from above and a grandpa who appreciates a good drop, all in one outing.
If they're animal lovers, Brunch With Alpacas in Murrumbateman is a bit different to the usual Christmas present, a relaxed morning with good food and some unexpected company.
It can be one of the best. A short stay like the 2 Night Cabin Stay in Dungog gives everyone a change of scenery without anyone having to host, which is often exactly what grandparents want over the holidays.
A dinner cruise ticks that box nicely. The Darwin Harbour Sunset Dinner Cruise pairs a proper meal with a view over the water, so it feels like more of an occasion than a regular dinner out.
Earlier is easier, but it's not essential. RedBalloon experiences can usually be booked in for a date that suits, so you're not locked into using the voucher over the Christmas period itself if your grandparents would rather go another time.
