View full detailsLooking for a unique gift for a grandparent that gives them something enjoyable to do? Boxful Events offers activity gifts, creative kits, puzzles, games and screen-free experiences for Grandma, Grandmum, Nan, Grandpa, Grandad, Pop and grandparents to enjoy at home.
Instead of giving another ordinary household item, ornament or gift they may not use, choose a present that helps them paint, create, build, solve, play, relax or spend meaningful time with their family.
Our grandparents’ gift collection includes relaxing solo activities, puzzles and games that can keep them pleasantly occupied, creative projects they can complete at their own pace and shared experiences they can enjoy with a partner, friend, child or grandchild.
Whether you are shopping for a birthday, Christmas, Grandparents’ Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, retirement, anniversary, get-well occasion or thoughtful surprise, you can send an enjoyable activity gift directly to their home with delivery available across Australia.
Many grandparents appreciate gifts that are useful, entertaining or connected to the way they enjoy spending their time. An activity gift provides more than something to unwrap—it gives them a project, challenge or experience to look forward to.
Depending on their interests, your grandparent might enjoy:
Some activities can be completed during one afternoon, while puzzles, detailed models and creative projects may provide entertainment over several days or weeks.
Every grandparent is different. Consider their interests, eyesight, hand strength, preferred level of challenge, available space and whether they would rather enjoy the activity independently or share it with someone else.
| What They Enjoy | Gift Ideas to Consider | Why It May Suit Them |
|---|---|---|
| Quiet time at home | Word searches, colouring, jigsaw puzzles or painting | Provides an enjoyable activity they can complete at their own pace |
| Puzzles and problem-solving | Wooden puzzles, brain teasers, jigsaws or mystery games | Offers a satisfying challenge and something to work towards |
| Painting and creativity | Printed painting kit, freestyle painting or creative gift box | Encourages self-expression and produces something they can keep |
| Building and making | Wooden model kits, three-dimensional puzzles or pottery | Provides a hands-on project with a clear finished result |
| Classic games | Playing cards, poker sets or traditional tabletop games | Can be enjoyed with a partner, family members or friends |
| Crime stories and mysteries | Murder mystery box, detective case or escape-room challenge | Turns an ordinary afternoon or evening into an investigation |
| Time with grandchildren | Activity cards, painting, puzzles, games or pottery | Creates a natural opportunity to talk, laugh and make memories together |
| Trying several activities | Activity gift box, creative gift box or puzzle gift box | Provides variety in one thoughtfully selected present |
| Choosing for themselves | Boxful Events digital gift card | Allows them to select an activity that matches their own interests |
Choose a gift for Grandma, Grandmum or Nan that reflects how she enjoys spending her time. She may prefer a quiet puzzle, a creative project, an immersive mystery or an activity she can share with her grandchildren.
Gift ideas for Grandma or Nan include:
These gifts can suit birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Grandparents’ Day, retirement, get-well occasions or a thoughtful surprise sent simply to let her know you are thinking of her.
For a grandmother who enjoys painting, colouring, making or trying new hobbies, choose an activity she can complete comfortably at home.
A printed painting kit can provide a more guided experience, while freestyle painting gives her the freedom to create something original. Adult colouring, pottery and mixed creative gift boxes are other options for enjoyable hands-on time.
Creative experience is not always required. The purpose of the gift is to provide an enjoyable project rather than to produce a perfect result.
If Nan loves crosswords, word searches, jigsaws or brain teasers, choose a gift that gives her a satisfying challenge.
Large-print word searches may be more comfortable for someone who prefers easier-to-read text, while large-piece puzzles can be easier to see and handle than puzzles containing very small pieces.
Difficulty varies between products, so consider whether she prefers a relaxing activity or a detailed challenge that may take several sessions to complete.
Finding a gift for Grandpa, Grandad or Pop can be difficult when he says he does not need anything. An activity gift gives him something practical and enjoyable to do without adding another unnecessary household item.
Gift ideas for Grandpa or Pop include:
These gifts can suit birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, retirement, anniversaries, thank-you occasions and long-distance surprises.
A wooden model or three-dimensional puzzle can provide Grandad with a hands-on project and a finished piece to display afterwards.
Choose the design according to his interests, such as vehicles, historical objects, architecture or mechanical models. Check the product description for the number of pieces, approximate difficulty and any tools or additional materials required.
Playing cards, poker, tabletop games, puzzles and mystery challenges can be enjoyed alone where suitable or shared with a partner, friend or family member.
A themed playing-card deck can be selected to match his interests, while a game or poker set can become part of regular family gatherings.
Grandparents often say they already have everything they need. When another ornament, appliance or household item feels unnecessary, an activity-based gift offers a more meaningful alternative.
A puzzle, painting kit, model, game or creative project gives them:
When you are uncertain about their interests, a digital gift card lets them choose the experience they would most enjoy.
An activity gift can provide enjoyable entertainment for a grandparent who spends a significant amount of time at home, lives alone, has recently retired or simply enjoys having a project available.
Good activities to help keep grandparents occupied include:
Choose a difficulty and format appropriate for the individual. Some grandparents enjoy detailed projects that last for days, while others may prefer a shorter and more accessible activity that can be completed in one sitting.
Screen-free activities provide an alternative to watching television, browsing on a tablet or spending more time on a phone. They give grandparents something practical to hold, build, solve, colour or create.
Completely screen-free gift options can include:
Some guided painting or pottery kits may use a smartphone or tablet briefly to access optional instructions or video tutorials. The main activity remains hands-on, but check the individual product description when you require a gift that does not use a device at any stage.
Some grandparents may prefer activities with larger text or pieces that are easier to see and handle.
Suitable options may include:
Review the individual product page carefully. Large-print, large-piece and lower-piece-count products vary in size, design and difficulty, and the best choice will depend on the recipient’s individual preferences and abilities.
Selected puzzles in this collection are specifically designed and labelled as dementia-friendly. These may use lower piece counts, clear imagery or formats intended to provide a calmer and more approachable activity.
When choosing a gift for a person living with dementia, consider their current interests, abilities and familiarity with the subject shown in the image. A design connected to everyday life, past experiences or familiar objects may feel more engaging than a highly abstract image.
Suitability differs from person to person. Speak with a close family member, carer or support person when you are uncertain which activity is appropriate. An activity gift should feel enjoyable and encouraging rather than difficult or frustrating.
Some grandparents prefer a quiet activity they can enjoy with a cup of tea, music or an audiobook.
Relaxing gift ideas include:
These gifts can provide an enjoyable reason to slow down and focus on one activity without a strict deadline or competitive element.
Creative hobbies are not limited to younger people or experienced artists. Painting, colouring, clay and other hands-on projects can be enjoyed by grandparents who already love making things or who would like to try something new.
Creative gifts may allow them to:
Check each listing for the supplied materials, instructions and any additional items that may be required, such as water, table protection or cleaning materials.
Puzzles make useful gifts because they can be selected according to the recipient’s interests and preferred level of difficulty.
Options may include:
For an experienced puzzler, choose a more detailed image or higher piece count. For someone who prefers a gentler activity, consider a large-piece or lower-piece-count design.
A murder mystery or detective case can make an unusual gift for a grandparent who enjoys crime novels, detective programmes, logic puzzles or discussing theories.
Depending on the game, they may examine evidence, review suspects, solve puzzles and determine what happened. Some mysteries permit solo or two-player participation, while others require a larger group.
Before ordering, check:
A shared activity can give Grandma and Grandpa something different to enjoy as a couple.
Gift ideas for grandparents to enjoy together include:
Choose an activity that suits both recipients and can be completed at a pace they will enjoy.
Some of the most meaningful gifts for grandparents are activities that create time with their grandchildren.
Instead of giving them something they must enjoy alone, select a game, puzzle or creative project that gives both generations a natural reason to sit together, talk and participate.
Shared grandparent and grandchild activities can include:
These activities can suit weekend visits, school holidays, rainy afternoons, birthdays, family gatherings and regular grandparent-and-grandchild days.
Grandparents and Grandkids Activity Cards provide ready-made ideas for meaningful time together. They can be useful when family members want to connect but are unsure what to do during a visit.
The cards may help inspire:
They can be used one at a time, selected randomly or saved for regular visits throughout the year.
When grandparents live in another city, state or regional area, sending an activity directly to their home can help a long-distance gift feel more personal.
You could send:
Consider arranging a telephone or video call while they open the gift, or plan to complete compatible activities in your separate homes at the same time.
Retirement can provide more time for hobbies, projects and interests that may have been difficult to fit around work.
Activity-based retirement gift ideas include:
Choose a project connected to the hobbies they already enjoy or an approachable activity that allows them to try something different.
A birthday activity gift gives your grandparent something to enjoy after the celebration is over.
Birthday gift ideas include:
For a milestone birthday, consider combining the activity with a visit, family lunch or promise to complete the project together.
Activity gifts can provide grandparents with something enjoyable to do during the quieter days following Christmas.
Christmas gift ideas for grandparents include:
A shared game or puzzle can also become part of your family’s Christmas Day or holiday traditions.
Grandmothers and grandfathers can sometimes be overlooked during Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. An activity gift provides a thoughtful way to acknowledge their role in the family.
For Grandma or Nan, consider a creative box, painting kit, relaxing puzzle, word search or pottery activity.
For Grandpa or Pop, consider a wooden puzzle, model kit, playing cards, mystery game, jigsaw or brain teaser box.
These are suggestions only. Choose according to the individual’s interests rather than assuming that a particular activity will suit them based on gender.
When a grandparent is recovering at home or going through a quieter period, a gentle activity may provide something positive to focus on.
Depending on their circumstances, consider:
Choose an activity that matches their current energy, abilities and interests. The gift should feel supportive rather than create pressure to finish a difficult project.
| Occasion | Activity Gift Ideas | Personal Touch to Add |
|---|---|---|
| Birthday | Puzzle, creative kit, model, game or activity box | Choose a theme connected to their interests |
| Christmas | Family game, puzzle box, painting or model kit | Plan to begin the activity together during the holidays |
| Grandparents’ Day | Grandparents and Grandkids Activity Cards or shared creative project | Include a drawing or letter from the grandchildren |
| Mother’s Day | Painting, pottery, colouring, word puzzle or creative box | Offer to complete the activity with Grandma or Nan |
| Father’s Day | Wooden model, playing cards, mystery game or jigsaw | Plan a games afternoon with Grandpa or Pop |
| Retirement | Detailed puzzle, model, creative box or new hobby kit | Choose something connected to how they want to spend their time |
| Get well | Gentle puzzle, word search, colouring or simple creative activity | Select something appropriate for their current energy |
| Just because | Activity box, puzzle, game or gift card | Include a note explaining why you were thinking of them |
A thoughtful gift does not need to exceed your budget. Smaller activities can still provide hours of enjoyment and show that you have considered the recipient’s interests.
Affordable activity gift ideas may include:
For a more substantial gift, consider a curated activity box, puzzle gift box, detailed model, paint and sip gift or mystery experience.
Prices, availability, promotions and delivery charges can change. Review the individual product page for current information.
A curated gift box is a convenient choice when you want to provide several complementary activities in one present.
Depending on the box selected, it may contain:
Check the individual listing for exact contents, as inclusions vary between gift boxes.
When you are unsure whether your grandparent would prefer a puzzle, painting kit, game, mystery or creative box, a digital gift card lets them make their own choice.
A gift card may be especially useful for:
Review the gift card terms and delivery method before purchase.

A good activity gift gives the recipient something enjoyable to create, build, solve or play. Examples include a jigsaw puzzle, painting kit, wooden model, word search, mystery game, playing cards or curated activity box.
Choose an experience rather than another household object. A painting kit, puzzle, model, mystery, creative box or shared activity gives them something to do and a new memory to create.
Gift ideas for Grandma or Nan include creative gift boxes, painting kits, pottery activities, adult colouring, large-print word searches, jigsaw puzzles, mystery games and activities she can share with her grandchildren.
Gift ideas for Grandpa, Grandad or Pop include wooden puzzles, model-building kits, playing cards, poker sets, jigsaw puzzles, murder mysteries, brain teasers and shared family games.
An activity gift is a practical alternative because it offers entertainment rather than more possessions. Consider a puzzle, creative project, game, model or gift card that lets them choose their own experience.
Depending on their interests and abilities, suitable activities may include word searches, jigsaw puzzles, adult colouring, painting, playing cards, wooden models, brain teasers and simple creative projects. Choose a format and difficulty that the individual will find enjoyable.
Screen-free gift ideas include jigsaw puzzles, word search books, colouring activities, wooden puzzles, model kits, playing cards, tabletop games, pottery and freestyle painting.

Consider a large-piece jigsaw, traditional 1,000-piece puzzle, wooden take-apart puzzle, three-dimensional model, word search, brain teaser box or fictional mystery game. Match the difficulty to the recipient’s preferences.
Selected products have larger pieces that may be easier to see and handle than conventional small puzzle pieces. Check the stated piece size, completed dimensions and total number of pieces on the product page.
Selected large-print word search books provide easier-to-read text for people who prefer larger lettering. Review the format and page size before ordering.
Selected puzzles are labelled as dementia-friendly and may use lower piece counts or familiar imagery. Suitability varies between individuals, so ask a family member, carer or support person when you are uncertain which product is appropriate.
Grandparents and grandchildren can enjoy activity cards, painting, pottery, puzzles, playing cards, tabletop games and model-building projects together. Choose an activity appropriate for the age of the youngest participant.
A shared activity can make a meaningful Grandparents’ Day gift. Consider Grandparents and Grandkids Activity Cards, a painting project, family game, puzzle or creative activity you can complete together.
Retirement gift ideas include a detailed puzzle, model-building kit, creative activity box, painting kit, word puzzle collection or game they can enjoy during their new routine.
Choose according to the individual rather than age alone. A large-print activity, large-piece puzzle, simple creative project, playing cards or lower-piece-count jigsaw may suit someone who prefers an accessible activity.
Many products can be completed independently, although suitability depends on the individual and the particular activity. Review the difficulty, piece size, instructions, materials and any assistance that may be required.
Many painting, puzzle and creative activities are suitable for beginners. More detailed models, high-piece-count puzzles and complex mysteries may require greater patience or experience, so check the individual product description.
Inclusions vary between products. Many kits provide the principal materials for the advertised activity, while the recipient may still need items such as water, table protection, food, drinks or cleaning materials. Check the complete inclusions list before ordering.
