Grandparents – arguably the hardest family member to buy a gift for. Many attempts have frequently ended in last minute panic-buying: flowers, bath salts, potpourri, chocolates, a candle, chutney. But, given our current situation, with most of us separated from our loved-ones, it's high time we put some extra thought into our gifts.

If you're lacking inspiration for what to send your grandparents in this difficult time, we've put together our glorious Grazia gift guide (try saying that after a couple of glasses of wine), so you have no excuse.
