Never having had the pleasure of being a parent (or a grandparent, obviously) I would not know this for sure, but have been told never to give children money as a gift. Was told it was too impersonal, and would "put a value" on your relationship with them. Not sure I agree with this, but if you get them a gift instead I think it has a "thought value" attached.
Depends on what you can afford, and your granddaughter will know this. Money will always go down well, but if it is something to remember, then something personal like jewellery would be better.You could always ask her parents, but If you have loads of money, you could consider using your inheritance tax allowances.................
