Hyper-Specific Gift Guide 2024
Let's go girls
If you are new to The Grudge, you will be thrilled and possibly confused to learn that the most important thing I do on this earth is select gifts for specific, impossible-to-shop-for people in your lives.
So if you have someone completely baffling in your life who is expecting a gift, in the comments section below this post, please provide as DETAILED a description as possible (relationship to you, age, hobbies, quirks, interests) and your BUDGET.
Then I will go to work. Consider me your GiftGPT. Because if there’s one thing the world needs now, it’s delightful trinkets.

omg I can't wait, previous years' were truly the pinnacle of the genre
My grandparents, who are functionally my parents (Grandpa is 90, Grandma is 75). They just moved from their big old house to a one floor place in a senior community, and it's a big, hard change for them. Gramps is 100% Sicilian and loves classic Italian American food. Grandma is old-school glamorous. They used to love going out to eat most nights and had really active social lives, but health challenges make that very difficult now. Grandpa loves plants, gets three different newspapers every day, and watches a tremendous amount of news. Grandma does a lot of caretaking and is exhausted but would never admit it. They're both somehow still super liberal. We usually get them plants, booze, or a newsy magazine subscription for Grandpa and a mani pedi for Grandma, but would love to do something different. Could do about $250, split up however it makes sense between the two of them.
