Non-electronic Gift Ideas for Grandchildren

There’s no denying that times have gone digital. Or have they? Well, yes. Yes, they have. And we all know that for grandparents who grew up in an era of playing outdoors on bikes and rope swings, the modern era of tablets and streamed gaming is something that isn’t necessarily impenetrable, but certainly presents a learning curve you could do without when all you wish to do is handover a heartfelt birthday gift.

As much as your #grandsprogs would appreciate you turning up with the latest in VR technology under your arm, ready to plug in and strap on the headset destined for an African safari or a bird’s eye flight over Paris, there may be little chance of that happening unless you have a technological interest in such things.

So, what are the other options? What are some non-electronic gift ideas for grandchildren? We found some great ideas at Wicked Uncle toys – but for now, let’s explore a couple of ideas.       

Be the Fun Grandparent with a Prank Kit

Prank kits are superb wastes of time that will encourage your grandchild to become creative and use their mind to comedic effect. Each kit contains an array of essential prank and joke equipment that turns this one gift into 20 gifts.

From classic whoopie cushions and nail-through-finger gags to minor card tricks, plastic bugs, fake money, finger traps, and itching powder, these kits are sure to turn any disinterested frown upside down. And the best part? Not only will you be delivering a joy and mirth style gift that can be used time and time again, but you get to go home and leave the parents to live with all the pranks and jokes!

Inspire Future Minds with an Adopt an Animal Pack

Adopt-an-animal packs are much more fun than you think (and don’t actually involve bringing home a real rescue animal). Far from receiving a generalized letter in the post to thank you for your donation, with perhaps a badge or a handful of stickers for your money, you will receive an educational fun pack containing many items.

For example, depending on which company you choose, your adoption pack many contain anything from a poster, infographic, or fact sheet for the bedroom wall, a map of where to find the adopted animal in the world, a certificate proving that the animal is adopted in your grandchild’s name, and regular updates in the form of letters in the post. Children love to receive mail.
