I would not start a Grandma gift list by assuming she needs slippers or another ornament. I would start with what she enjoys: family photographs, a good book, a comfortable corner, or the recipes she wants everyone else to learn.
The nicest version of a gift often includes a little work from the giver. Choose the photographs. Check the book collection. Write down the recipe together. Taking care with those details is what keeps a useful present from feeling like something picked up on the way over.
Family photographs, with the setup already thought through
Aura Carver Digital Photo Frame
An Aura Carver is an option for a grandma who would enjoy new family photographs appearing without waiting for the next printed batch. I would make a small, thoughtful collection first: the people she wants to see, the places she remembers, and a few pictures that will make her laugh.
Confirm that she has Wi-Fi and would actually like a digital frame. Then help with setup and ask the family to keep contributing. If she prefers an album she can hold, a printed photo book is the better present. Technology is not the point here.

Bedsure GentleSoft Sherpa Fleece Blanket
A soft, non-electric throw is a simple idea for a grandma who likes a blanket within reach of her chair. I would choose the color by looking at her room and the size by thinking about how she will actually use it.
I would pair it with a book, a favorite snack, or a note inviting her to a movie afternoon. This is comfort as a small pleasure, not a promise to solve a sleep or health problem. If she already has a favorite blanket, look elsewhere on the list.

Kobo Clara BW
The Clara BW is worth considering if she likes the idea of carrying several books in one compact reader. Adjustable text can be a useful preference, but I would let her try an e-reader before deciding that digital books are what she wants.
Check her existing ebook account and whether she would rather keep borrowing or buying printed books. I would help her get started with her permission and leave clear, simple instructions for the things she actually wants to do. A new device should not become an obligation.

Coop Original Adjustable Pillow
The Coop Original is an option when Grandma has specifically mentioned wanting a different pillow. Its adjustable fill makes it a more flexible idea than guessing a fixed height and hoping it suits her.
I would discuss it first, check the return policy, and keep the gift receipt. Pillows are personal. I would never present one as a fix for pain or tell her she ought to replace something she already finds comfortable.

Clever Fox Recipe Book
A dedicated recipe journal like the Clever Fox Recipe Book makes a wonderful keepsake when a few pages are already started. Write the name of the dish everyone asks her to make, leave room for her method, and include space for the small tips a printed recipe never explains.
The meaningful part of the gift is an afternoon together, not handing over a blank notebook as homework. Cook something with her and write it down while you go. If cooking is not her interest, use the same idea for family stories, gardening notes, or photographs with captions.
