Grandmas give the greatest gifts, but sometimes it’s hard to know if they’re actually playing a prank on you. Is grandma “pulling the wool over your eyes” with those knitted gifts? Or, is she being totally sincere?
Many times grandma’s gifts so adorably odd that they go straight to your heart and you will never want to part with them. No matter what her intention, it’s the thought that counts. And as you’ll see with these grandma gifts, there’s a lot of love behind every single one of them.
The following families shared their grandma gift “fails” that really aren’t fails at all.
