With its easy setup and intuitive interface, grandparents can effortlessly display and cycle through photos right on their tabletop. Thanks to its innovative sharing feature, you and other family members can send photos directly to the frame from anywhere in the world via email or through the Skylight app. Whether it's snapshots of baby's milestones or family gatherings, this digital frame will help keep them connected to their loved ones wherever in the world they are located.

Tested by Reviews Editor Emily Gilbert: "This is such a fantastic gift option for grandparents. Yes, it's pricey but the fact it can be constantly updated with new photos to really keep everyone connected makes it 100% worth it. It's super easy to set up and use, even for those who aren't the best with tech and I like that you don't have to use the app if you don't want to. It's a really well-made piece of kit with high resolution and I know my in-laws are going to love it for enjoying photos of their first grandchild."

Review: "I adore this book. My daughter is 18 weeks pregnant and I’ve written so much already. It’s a lovely memory for our Grandchild and an important way to share things that could be forgotten."

Who doesn't love a fun, novelty T-shirt?! We can't help but laugh at the 'I'm not retired, I'm a full-time grandma' print, which we're certain grandma will appreciate too. It comes in a rainbow of colours to suit her taste, as well as eight different sizes.

Review: "Great quality shirt, got it for a gift for my mother and she loved it. The material is super soft and it fit her perfectly. Would recommend this seller and product to anybody looking for a similar item."

Hampers are appropriate for pretty much every occasion, and the milestone of grandparenthood is no exception! This M&S one includes wine, chutney, biscuits and crackers to make gran and grandpa's day.

Another fun present for the brand new grandparents, this cute pair of mugs can be used for a pregnancy announcement, or just as a fun, 'welcome to grandparenthood' gift.

Another reviewer said: "The people I gifted it with were thrilled. They said it was funny but had good advice!!"

A personalised, heart-shaped locket that you can fill with beautiful family portraits of grandma and grandpa with a brand new addition to the family. You'll get brownie points for thoughtfulness and it is a wonderful keepsake.

Review: "It melted my heart. I will treasure it always. Thank you for making this, it's something I would reccomend to anyone, well made and not expensive, also was kept up to date with tracking and arrived on time and safely."

Write now, read later, treasure forever. This precious gift idea for new grandparents includes a collection of twelve letters for grandparents to write, ideal for passing on words of wisdom only a grandparent can. The letters can then be postdated and sealed with the included stickers and given to the grandchildren to open in the future. The letters include prompts such as, 'Here is a special story about our family,' 'What I want you to know about me,' and 'My wishes for you are...' along with others. This is both a gift for grandparents and grandchildren to cherish forever.

Review: "Each month for the first year of my grandson’s life, I wrote a letter in this book. While I won’t give it to him until his 10th birthday, he will have many letters of stories that I may not have shared with him, my views on the world and my hopes for his future. Hopefully, he will treasure it the way I am treasuring every minute I am with him."

When the grandchildren start school they will be bringing home pictures they have created for their grandparents, and it's hard to know how to display them all. This practical and sentimental display frame provides a space for grandparents to both store and display the precious artwork. Available in a selection of colours, this wall mounted frame is a must for proud grandparents.

Review: "Really nice quality over all. We love ours and our daughter likes to change the pictures out. Both grandparents have noticed it and commented on how they’d love to have one at their house. We’ll be getting one for each set of grandparents for Christmas."

This might not be the most exciting gift, but it will probably be the most practical and the most appreciated once baby starts leaving crumbs all over grandma and grandad's house. This handy robot vacuum takes the stress out of tidying up after a little one meaning their grandparents can enjoy even more special moments with them.

Review: "This is a great vacuum for the price. It easily hoovered up cat hair, my long hair, and crumbs. It navigated around well, including under my sofas and the footstools, and even climbed over my thickest rug and cable tidy - it has a proper good go at getting over and around obstacles so it didn't need any human help! It comes with a spare filter, spare sweep brushes and a cleaning brush for the dust container. The dust container pops out easily for emptying, and the roller brush and sweeper brushes pop out with a gentle tug so you can cut off any wrapped hair - much easier than my stand-up vacuum. I don't know how it does it, but it knows where it's not cleaned yet and which spots need another go."

With muddy little feet soon to be running around their house, this cute welcome doormat will be the perfect addition to the new grandparents home. Not only will it be incredibly useful, but it will be a lovely reminder every time anyone visits of how special a grandparents' house is.

Review: "I ordered the large size and I am so glad I did! Great quality and it came just as listed! My parents love this addition to their front door!"

A lovely keepsake gift for grandad, especially as he might be needing to use his keys more often with a new baby to drive around, or take for walks. There are also lots of options for the leather and text colour. And you could even get a matching one for Granny too.

Review: "Really perfect presents. This is the third time of buying and as always the item is beautiful and just as expected."

With so many cute baby photos, it can be hard to choose which one to display and that is why this digital photo frame makes the perfect gift. Grandparents can enjoy a constant slideshow of photos which can be updated by emailing photos to a custom email address you set up with the frame. If grandparents are not on social media they will no longer miss out on the latest photo instalment.

Review: "We live on the other side of the world from our friends and family; this is an amazing way to feel connected. It was easy to set up and even easier to share the link with family and friends!! I highly recommend this - and have done our family and friends."
