What's a good digital gift for grandchildren who live far away?
The best digital gifts for grandchildren far away are personal and shared: something with both of you in it that they'll come back to. A personalised storybook starring grandparent and grandchild, sent as a link or a QR gift card, arrives instantly and costs nothing to post.
Digital gift ideas
- A personalised storybook with you and your grandchild as the heroes.
- A recorded bedtime story they can play any night.
- A video of you reading their favourite book.
- A photo album of the two of you, with captions about each memory.
- A “story swap”: you start a story, they finish it, and you send it back and forth.

Share a link to read on any phone, or print a gift card with a QR code that opens the story.
