Grandfathers are often the source of endless wisdom and experience. Mine personally and very patiently taught me, among other life skills, how to ride a bike and grow fruit trees in our backyard.
This Father's Day, remember to celebrate the granddad who has been with you from the beginning to offer his unconditional love and support. He will of course insist that he doesn't need or want a gift, but hopefully a Father's Day gift for your grandpa isn't something you feel obligated to give — it's something you want to give.
These 24 gifts, from delicious treats to fun games and memorabilia, will help him relax, make life's tasks more convenient, and encourage you to spend more time with each other.
The 24 best Father's Day gifts for your grandpa:
A simple machine that makes both espresso and brewed coffee
Best for: Grandpas who need a cup of coffee first thing in the morning
While many machines have too many programs and levers to wrap your head around, this Illy one operates on an easy one-touch system. He just needs to use the brand's capsules to enjoy delicious espresso and coffee at home.
If your grandpa isn't extremely techy, the Echo Dot is an especially good starter gift. It maximizes convenience, requires little interaction after setup, and takes up minimal space. He can easily ask Alexa for recipes, the weather, the news, and to control things like the lights.
You could also grab a few accompanying smart bulbs if he either hates getting up to turn them off or if his knees tend to bother them. Stick around to set it up and show him a few of the coolest features.
Forget all the fancy functions of a Fitbit or smartwatch — this zero-setup pedometer is the easiest accessory to track his steps and motivate him if he wants to get more active. Join him on a brisk walk during Father's Day weekend when he takes it for a spin for the first time.
His favorite place in the world might be his hometown, college town, vacation spot, wherever his family is, or wherever his family is from. With its unique color themes, customizable labels, and variety of sizes and finishes, Grafomap can capture any location in a thoughtful, personal way.
A vintage-style turntable with modern music playing capabilities
He can toss a favorite record on this turntable or stream music through Bluetooth. It packs up like a suitcase if he wants to bring it with him anywhere, but also looks great sitting in his living room.
Custom socks decorated with pictures of grandkids or favorite pet
Best for: Grandpas who are superfans of their grandkids
Make him custom socks decorated with pictures of his grandkids or his beloved pet — he'll get a kick out of it, and Grandpa will have them with him everywhere he goes.
Get a personalized family cartoon print of the grandkids, the grandkids with grandpa, or the whole family. He can hang it in his home and cherish it. Or, if you think he'd prefer it, you can order personalized family mugs in the same style — perfect for hot chocolate with the grandkids or his morning cup of coffee.
A candle that fills the room with the smell of rich leather
Each of these luxurious candles is handmade in Brooklyn from a mix of beeswax, vegetable wax, and soy wax. If the distinctive scent of leather isn't his thing, there are also similarly interesting options like Mojito and Dark Rum.
The playful book switches the roles of grandparent and child, resulting in an adorable guide to how to make the most of a weekend with Grandpa. It involves "ice cream topped by cookies" followed by "cookies topped by ice cream," plus lots of fun outdoor adventures.
Get Grandpa wrapping paper covered in pictures of himself or his grandkid(s). He'll adore it, and it'll bring a smile to his face all year as he uses it. Or, if you've got money left in the budget, wrap one of the other gifts in this custom paper.
A gift card to take his grandkids out to a game or movie
Best for: Grandpas who just want to spend time with the kids
If Grandpa's favorite thing in the world is time spent with his grandkids, then give him that. Give the group a free afternoon and a gift card to choose tickets for their choice of activity, whether it's a movie or a baseball game.
Best for: Grandpas who know the difference between good and bad olive oil
It takes an experienced palate such as his to appreciate the olive oil from this popular startup. The Alive variety is smooth and nutty, with notes of green tomato and green almond, while the Awake variety is herbaceous and grassy, with notes of artichokes and herbs.
Best for: Grandpas who never stop taking photos of their grandkids
It seems like grandparents can never take enough pictures of their kids and grandkids. You can help him keep his DSLR and accessories safe, secure, and organized with this good-looking bag.
It's hard to buy products like mattresses or pillows for another person because only he knows his body best. Gift a pillow personalization service like Pluto so he can get the exact pillow he needs.
Allbirds are the definition of casual comfort. Its Wool Loungers are arguably the best style to wear from inside to outside the house without a second thought.
A selection of butcher shop-quality meat that he can enjoy without ever leaving the house
Quality butcher shops aren't always easy to come by, so bring one right to his kitchen. Nashville-based butcher shop Porter Road also operates online and lets you browse a selection of high-quality meats, like the dry-aged steaks and pork chops in this curated kit.
A spotlight on famous guitars and their owners, from Eric Clapton to Prince
Count 'em: 64 famous guitars and 75 years of rock history, all condensed into a striking graphic. Make sure to take notes as he points out and explains the significance of each guitar, just in case he quizzes you later.
Playing chess on this set might inspire some serious thoughts of taking a trip to the Big Apple. One World Trade, the Flatiron Building, and the Guggenheim are among the New York City icons immortalized in this chess set made for city lovers.
Grandpa deserves to be stylish too. The Tie Bar's new collection of short sleeve shirts is so trendy (and reasonably priced), you might want to pick some up for yourself, too.
There are few people as giving as your grandpa. He'll love the selfless gift of LottoLove, a "lottery game" where he plays to find out what charitable cause he's supporting today.
While a Disney Plus subscription might not seem like the best gift for an older person, the streaming service offers loads of content that he'll enjoy. From the original "Star Wars" movies to National Geographic and 20th Century Fox, he'll get to enjoy plenty of content outside of Disney and Pixar — and maybe turn something fun on the next time the grandkids come over.
