50 Best Gifts for Grandpa That Show Him How Much You Care

If Grandpa is always falling asleep in front of the TV but swearing he’s just “resting his eyes” every time, he’ll definitely get a kick out of these funny socks. Plus, they’re also non-slip and made of a durable, breathable cotton blend that will keep Grandpa’s feet warm.

If there’s nothing more Gramps loves than a good game of chess, why not give him a brand new chess set to keep in his study? This beautiful set from Amerous is crafted from durable, premium wood and has built-in drawers for easy storage. The chess pieces are magnetic, too, so he won’t have to worry about losing any of them.

For the avid fisherman, there’s little more calming and enjoyable than sitting on the banks of a river or lake nursing a cold one and hoping for a bite on the line. And if your grandpa already has all the standard fishing gear (line, rod, lures, tacklebox), you may want to get him a gift that’s both humorous and useful: the Chill-N-Reel Fishing Can Cooler. This drink koozie keeps a can of soda or beer at the perfect temperature, but it also features an integrated hand line reel, so grandpa can sip and fish using the same tool at the same time.

If your grandpa isn’t the type to update his wardrobe regularly, do him and favor and pick out a comfy sweater for him. This one from Everlane comes in four neutral colors and offers a relaxed fit. Plus, it’s made of soft merino wool, cotton, and alpaca. Did we mention it’s on sale?!

Grandpa could always use a nice, relaxing foot massage, especially if he struggles with foot pain or poor circulation. Luckily, he can now have one whenever he needs with this top-rated foot massager machine, which provides different intensity and kneading modes as well as a heat mode that he can adjust to his preferences.

If Gramps is an avid golfer (or just loves playing the occasional round here and there), he’ll appreciate this handy kit of golf accessories to bring with him out on the course. It includes golf balls and tees as well as a rangefinder, divot knife, ball clamp, and more—all stored together in a nice, high-quality leather case.

He may have an impressive collection of books in his study, but he’s bound to have read through them all already. That’s why your book-loving Grandpa will appreciate getting a new Kindle, which offers him thousands of books to read at the touch of his fingertips.

Is Gramps a major baseball fanatic? He’ll be so excited when he unwraps this beautiful custom book, which retraces the history of his favorite Major League Baseball team through reprinted articles and stories from the archives of The New York Times. You can even have it embossed with his name for an extra personalized touch—and for $50 more, you can add a magnifying glass for him to use to read through the pages.

He’s the world’s best grandpa year after year—and now he can wear this hat to flaunt his well-deserved title wherever he goes. This stylish pick features an adjustable brass buckle strap for a comfy fit and comes in several different colors.

Grandpas have a lot of years under their belts, and they’ve often lived in a lot of places. Help your granddad remember the city where he met his partner, the city where he went to college, or maybe even the city where he was born and raised with these etched glasses. Each one features a beautifully illustrated map of a different U.S. city—perfect for when he’s reminiscing while sipping on his favorite bourbon.

Grandpa deserves the best, most comfy pair of everyday walking shoes—especially if he’s experiencing limited mobility or gets tired easily from walking around. That’s why this best-selling, podiatrist-approved sneaker from Allbirds—a Prevention-favorite brand for comfy shoes—is the perfect gift for him. Featuring cushioned insoles and made of a breathable, thermoregulating eucalyptus fiber, these comfy (and stylish!) shoes will help keep his feet happy wherever he goes.

Grandpas aren’t always the best at pampering themselves. So why not pamper him a little bit? The Vionic Adler Slippers have a cozy, faux-fur lining, a contoured EVA footbed for added comfort and support, and a rubber outsole that enables grandpa to walk to use them outside the house, as well.

If grandpa loves nothing more than whipping up a big, homemade meal for the whole family, why not give him a gift he’ll put to use every day? The Viking Acacia Reversible Prep & Cutting Board is perfect for slicing and dicing vegetables, or serving up a charcuterie board for guests, thanks to its beautiful wood appearance and three, built-in compartments for condiments or toppings. And to slice and dice meat (or anything else, really), simply flip the board over and take advantage of the sturdy butcher block surface bordered by its juice-catching groove.

Help him keep his facial hair in tip-top shape with this shaving kit from Bevel. It includes everything he needs for a nice, clean shave every time, including a shaving cream, a pre shave oil, a post shave balm, a razor, 20 replacement blades, and a shave brush.

After years of working hard and raising a family, if grandpa’s favorite retirement pastime is kicking back in a recliner to watch some TV—hey, who can blame him?

Does he love whiskey? Give him a flavor sensation he might never have experienced before with a bottle of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey. It may be marketed as the whiskey for “misfits, black sheep, and skrewballs,” but Gramps doesn’t have to be any of those to enjoy the flavors of roasted peanut, honey, and vanilla in this funky spirit. Even if he doesn’t make it a regular in his after-dinner drinks arsenal, it’s guaranteed to bring a smile to his whiskey-loving face.

Forget the apron! If grandpa is the perfect grillmaster, give him The Mercado Hoodie to wear every time he sidles up to the grill to serve his family a hefty dose of meat. This hoodie emblazoned with “Pork for the People” makes a funny gift for the man whose favorite love language involves serving up hot dogs, brats, ribs, and bacon.

Maybe you don’t like listening to FM radio or CDs, but if your Pops has a music collection filled with everything from records to cassettes to an original iPod, he will love the Viktrola Turntable and Music Center. This 6-in-1 system is designed to play vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, FM radio, or music on an external player (plugged-in or with Bluetooth) like a smartphone or iPod. You can also connect it to external speakers, or use it with headphones for personal listening. So instead of encouraging grandpa to transfer his music collection to a digital format, let him listen the way he likes to listen, in whatever original format he loves.
