Granddads are notoriously hard to buy gifts for. But Christmas season is coming up, and we have to get them something!
Everyone’s granddad will be different, but here are some ideas to start you off…
- Puzzles
Puzzles are an all-around safe bet for granddads. What is it about the repetitive tasks that bring them so much joy? Is it reminiscent of their childhoods or something?
Either way, it’s a good place to start.
This makes for an extra smart gift this year, as many of us are trapped inside with pandemic restrictions. A puzzle is a great bit of entertainment for inside, something we’ve all been craving. There is such a thing as too much Netflix.
- Jumpers
Winter season really gets going post-Christmas. January and February are always colder than you expect, and this is likely much worse for the older members of our community. A cosy jumper is a great gift, not only to show you care but also to keep your grandad safe in the winter months.
Depending on the grandad, you can judge how crazy you want to go with the pattern!
- Gardening tools
If your grandad is a gardener (like all other granddads), then gardening tools are a good bet for a present that will go down well.
Winter makes gardening tougher, so it might be a good idea to get some tools built specifically for the winter. There’s nothing more depressing than getting a gift you can’t use for six months…
Good Housekeeping recommends the Bulldog Wizard Rake for scraping up all those leaves that have fallen over the autumn. You know they’ve been bothering your grandad. Or, Marshalls Garden Tool Sharpener. In the winter he’ll need his tools at peak performance to break through the tough ground.
- Cigars
Cigars are a good gift because they are a treat. As they are slightly on the pricier side, they aren’t something your granddad will frequently have. He’ll know you’ve put some real care into the choice.
If you want something a little less expensive, but still offering high quality, Cheap Little Cigars ticks all the boxes.
This gift feels particularly Christmassy too. Something about lounging in an old armchair with a cigar just feels like winter nights and fireplaces.
- Food subscriptions
With the pandemic, a lot of us probably won’t be able to see our relatives in person this Christmas. A great way to have your granddad feel your presence all year round, no matter if you are kept apart by restrictions is a subscription box.
There is a range to choose from: from cheese to wine – even potatoes!
You don’t even have to pick food if that doesn’t suit your granddad. There are subscription boxes for everything these days. Woodworking, tools… Anything you can think of, there’ll be a box for it.
Whatever you get your granddad, he’s sure to love it. Hopefully, these ideas should get you started.
