Your grandpa might seem to have everything he needs—or at least he says he does—but there are still plenty of great gifts for Grandpa out there. Finding a present for a grandparent can be as simple as picking up something sentimental like a digital picture frame (this is precisely what you buy a first-time grandpa, by the way!), something useful like a set of personalized golf balls, or something indulgent like a shiatsu foot massager. He might not even know these unique items exist—which means he’ll be so much happier to receive them. Whether you’re shopping for birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, or just a little something to remind him how much you care, below are our favorite picks. If he lives far away, make sure you give him a call too; it’ll make any present even better. (And yes, all of these unique ideas double as great gifts for Dad and thoughtful presents for husbands.)
