What do you get the woman who's spoiled you from day one? One of these unique yet useful gift ideas.

Your grandma is the best — and you’ve given her countless candles, coffee mugs and trinkets to prove it. If you’re running out of ways to show her just how much you care, then you’ve come to the right place. Here, you'll find a range of standout gifts for grandmas at any stage, whether she was recently promoted to this coveted position or she's been proudly wearing this title for years. Clichés exist for a reason, so you'll notice that a lot of these gifts for her are geared toward women who appreciate the finer things in life — a towel warmer, for example. Some of these gift ideas will solve some of her problems (like a heated hand massager that eases arthritis or carpal tunnel pain), while others will simply brighten her day-to-day.

Practical picks may be the way to her heart, but you also can't go wrong with something more sentimental. Help her set up a digital picture frame, then send your favorite family photos to it in the weeks to follow. Or if you have a way with words, then tell her exactly what she means to you in the pages of this $10 fill-in-the-blank book.

Whatever you choose, all these gift ideas are sure to make your grandma smile (and maybe even shed a few happy tears). You can take my word for it because as Yahoo's gifting editor, it's literally my job to help readers find the perfect presents to celebrate the ones they love most. Yep, like your grandma.
