Amazing gift ideas for grandad
We can all agree that there are few things we enjoy more than getting presents. Buying gifts, however, isn’t always easy – especially when it comes to the men in your life.
This is especially hard when it comes to your Grandad. We can probably guess you got this response when you asked them what they wanted – “I don’t want anything”. To him, this is a polite and convenient answer. It means they don’t have to make a decision and don’t have to stress. For you, it’s just frustrating and not even slightly helpful.
What makes things worse is that over the years, he’s probably accumulated most of the stuff he wants or needs – so when it comes time to get him a gift, you may be short on ideas.
Not to worry though, we are here to help!
Here are some great gift ideas for Grandad.
1. A Celtic Pocket Watch
If your Grandad already has a watch – it’s highly likely that he does – then a Celtic pocketwatch is an excellent gift idea! Not only do they come with unique designs, but they are also truly special items that will remind your Grandad of days gone by. Furthermore, it will match perfectly with his Sunday best!
2. Irish Flat Cap
A handmade Irish flat cap is an excellent gift. Made popular by the tv show Peaky Blinders, these caps have long been a staple of stylish men. Celebrities like David Beckham, Sylvester Stalone and Tom Hardy(to name a few) have worn a version of this stylish hat frequently.
Not only do they come in a range of colours and designs, but they are also pieces that are as timeless as they are practical.
3. A Good Book
A great idea is a good book. Think about something that’s a big interest of theirs and use that as a reference point. If they’re a football fan, a famous player or coach’s biography is a great start. If they like history, find a topical book on the period you know they’re fond of. Your Grandad has spent his life working so he can enjoy his time, what better way to do so than with a good book from you?
4. A Good Drink
Most men have a drink of choice that they go to when they want to relax, celebrate, or simply enjoy themselves. Find out what that is, if you don’t know already, and get them a nice bottle of that beverage. This could be wine, whiskey, brandy – anything. If you’re looking for something non-alcoholic, why not try some nice coffee or tea?
5. Time
One of the best gifts you can get your Grandad is time. Take him out for lunch, visit him at home and cook him a meal or even just spend a few extra hours with him in his home. This will mean the world to him! Make sure you get some get life stories out of him whilst you’re at it!
