8 Great Gadget Gifts for Your Grandparents

If you're looking to upgrade your grandparents' digital photography, the PowerShot A1400 is a great place to start. With a large grip that's easy to grasp and comfortable to hold, Canon says this compact "retains the familiar feel of a classic point-and-shoot." Boasting an optical viewfinder and running on two AA batteries, this camera is easy to use with automatic settings and a dedicated video button.
Price: $99.99
If your grandparents enjoy listening to the radio, why not upgrade their current setup with a shiny, new tabletop radio? The classic-looking Tivoli Audio Model One boasts superior sound and state-of-the-art FM tuner tech that improves reception and increases clarity.
It stays easy to use, however, with a single rotary dial handle for tuning for both AM and FM stations, while the tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control and described as "well designed" for hands of all sizes.
Price: $149
A speakerphone is a good gift for both safety in the car and a nifty way for both grandparents to talk on calls at the same time. The Jabra Drive is specially designed to be "brilliantly simple." There's no complicated setup -- just the ability to pair with two cellphones. Then, it's only a matter of hitting what Jabra calls "the big friendly button" to answer calls.
Price: $59.99
This gift is full of win for doting grandparents. As a touchscreen digital photo frame with a 10.4-inch screen and slideshow capabilities, it's already a great gift, but the real selling point is that you can set up a dedicated email address for the frame. This means that you, and whoever you share the address with, can send photos directly to the frame for remote updates your grandparents will be delighted to receive.
Price: $149
Laptops and PCs often have speakers with poor sound quality. Give your grandparents an audio upgrade with a set of dedicated speakers for their home computer setup.
This pair of Altec Lansing speakers has a small footprint and draws power from the computer via USB, so there's no need for a separate power cable. Whether this means they'll hear Skype calls better, or be able to enjoy home movies with improved audio, we're sure they'll thank you.
Price: $18.50
A remote control might not seem like a very exciting present, but for anyone (of any age) who struggles with multiple confusing remotes for home entertainment equipment, it can make a real difference. This affordable option from Philips has an ergonomic design with a natural fit that's comfortable to hold. It also has extra large fluorescent glow buttons that make it easy to use, even in the dark. The "SimpleSetup" process should make it a cinch to use.
Price: $14.99
If your grandparents place value on a good, old-fashioned printed photo, consider a dedicated photo printer such as this Canon Selphy model, which can produce borderless photos in color or black and white in postcard or card size.
Wireless-enabled, it can also print from compatible memory cards, phones, tablets and cameras, with the ability to preview and correct the images on the 2.7-inch tilt-up LCD screen.
Price: $99.99
Whether your grandparents are into gardening, golf or just want to stay informed about the weather, a dedicated weather station is a gift that will remain useful for years to come. This option will give them info on barometric pressure, temperature and humidity levels indoors and out.
Price: $39.99
