The Best Mother’s Day Gifts For Grandma

by

We know Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and you’re probably looking for the perfect gift for your mom or grandmother. It can be tricky to find just the right thing, but don’t worry! We’ve got some awesome ideas to help you out.

First up, how about an essential oil diffuser? It’s a great way for your grandma to relax and unwind after a long day. Or maybe some cozy fleece slippers or a soft sherpa throw blanket to keep her warm and snug.

If she’s a coffee lover, a programmable coffee maker is always a hit. And if she likes jewelry, an essential oil diffuser bracelet or a personalized initial necklace are great options.

For a sentimental touch, there’s the birthstone memory tree locket or the custom engraved family recipe cutting board. And if your grandma loves to entertain, she might enjoy a beautiful Dutch cast iron teapot or some stylish lemon kitchen towels.

Of course, you can never go wrong with a classic gift like a trinket dish or a throw pillow. And if you really want to go all out, the Roborock S4 robot vacuum is a game-changer when it comes to cleaning!

Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to gift-giving, so choose something that you know your grandma will love and appreciate. And don’t forget to show her some extra love and appreciation on Mother’s Day – grandmas deserve to be celebrated too!

Krampus Sweater Knitting Pattern

Santa and Saint Nicholas generally get all the good press, but Central European kids know you don’t want to just be good so you get presents from St. Nicholas; you also want to avoid the ire of Krampus. (He’s depicted as a human-like figure with horns and usually hairy or furry who gives birch rods instead of gifts to kids who are bad.)

If you’re the type to embrace the naughty side (or you just want to scare the children into good behavior over the holidays), maybe you’ll want to knit a Krampus sweater.  

This one, from Sofie Amalie Laulund, is a top down circular yoke sweater with Krampus faces at the top and cavorting Krampuses further down the body, with some traditional Scandinavian snowflakes thrown in for fun. 

Because of the large motifs there’s not a lot of room for adjusting the fit, but it is available in five sizes (the Ravelry page doesn’t say what the sizing is, and it says its worked with no ease but the photo looks like the sweater has a bit of positive ease, so if you decide to make this one just check the measurements and your own comfort level for ease when picking a size). 

It also uses five colors, but there’s very little red and brown so you can probably use scrap yarn for those parts. It calls for DK weight yarn. You’ll want a background color that helps the creatures stand out. You could also work the snowflake bands in different colors if you want to mix it up. 

The pattern is available in both English and Danish, and you can find it on Ravelry. This is the designer’s first pattern, which kudos to them because it’s such an ambitious (and fun!) project I’m happy to add to my collection of whimsy-filled knits.
