Father’s Day Gifts & Ideas for Grandpa | Make It Special
Introduction: Celebrating Grandpas on Father’s Day
Grandpas!
The Kings.
They’ve been there, they’ve done it, they’ve more to do, and more to share.
Father's Day is a great opportunity to celebrate the grandfathers in our worlds and use it as an opportunity to show the love.
We find it amazing when we think of our own grandpas, some of us have years with our grandpas, others live close by, others live far away. Others have small amount of time with their grandpas, but in our little kids minds we have such clear etched memories of times with our grandpas. Some things you remember forever, many things you don’t remember at all.
Anyhow if your lucky to have a special Fathers-Day with your Grandpa coming up here are some thoughts for the day. Celebrate the Day we say.
Spend Quality Time Together
Grandpas know instantly time is such a valuable currency.
You could say it’s the real gold.
The best of the best present for Grandpas is time with loved ones. If you don’t live nearby, this will be all the more special to him if a day out is organized.
You will know best what he will like as a day out or activity out. It doesn’t have to be fancy.
If there are grandkids involved they will bring the fun and chaos.
What does he love ? Unless its something very boring like gardening ( sorry gardeners, we get the relaxed nature of it really, its just to slow for us) you could organize an activity around that. You could watch is favorite movies even.
If the distance is too far, create a heartwarming video message from the grandkids should do the trick.
Create a Memory Box full of Love
Grandpas are evidently men, so like many men they will say they don’t want or need anything. We think secretly they just don’t want to think about it, but they will value receiving a meaningful gift. The time is now, life is now we way. Creating a box of memories is a fabulous gift. He has lived a long life.
You could insert Photos, any hand written letters - not so common nowadays, the grandkids could do some artwork for Grandpa, and any little mementos really which symbolize special moments or just the love.
If you wanted you could add a customized canvas print of a Photo of him and his kids or grandkids etc. This could be black and white for some style, elegance or color.
Serve Grandpa His Favorite Dinner
The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach—and that holds true for Grandpas to.
If his favorite food is cooked, or you go out to dinner, he will feel the appreciation with this.
Give a Personalized Gift he will Cherish
You can give him a personalized gift that is personal to him, each gift is made to order, so especially on Father's Day when he might think – his time has passed, it hasn’t. Celebrating him on father's day, doing something with him, or getting him a personalized gift will put the spotlight on him and make him feel loved and seen, which you can’t say obviously as its too mushy buts its true.
Here are some ideas :
Great for Happy Memories.
You can customized a canvas print with a favorite Photo or Text with a special message if you wish.
Heres an example :
You can have a Mug customized with :
- Photos
- Names / Dates
- A Special Message
You can have a Mug customized with "Best Grandpa Ever" or his grandkids' names - 'Worlds Best Grandpa' if you wish.
Here is an example of a Photo Mug Gift.
With a fond family picture—perfect for his favorite chair, you can customize a pillow for his couch or bed with a special photo. Its a personal gift.
Personalized whiskey glass
If he enjoys a sip in the evening—engraved with his initials or a memorable date.
Photo keychain
So he can carry a tiny reminder of his loved ones with him wherever he goes.
At we love gifts that come with stories behind them. Every gift can be engraved with names, dates, or photos—so you're giving something truly one-of-a-kind.
Make Him Feel Like the Hero of the Day
A lot of Grandpas don’t get the spotlight enough for Fathers Day.
If you want him to have the spotlight, make him centre stage, you could listen to his stories or advice (even if its been said a few times already).
You could go all out and create a small ‘’Grandpa Appreciation Award’’ ceremony at him.
You could simple get him a card and write something personal for him. He should like this. 
Final Thoughts
We all need a little nudge sometimes in our busy lives.
Celebrating a Grandpa on Fathers Day is a great idea if you live near him at all. If not, you can rely on technology to do a special video with the grandkids maybe.
If he gets some time TLC or a gift, he will feel the appreciation.
Happy Father's Day to all of the great Grandpas! out there.
