How to Select a Gift for Your Grandfather

Grandpas often can't think of a thing they need and can be fussy about what they get. A practical gift is often the best bet.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bookstore Gift Certificates
• Picture Frames
• Scrapbooks
• Gourmet Foods
• Red Or White Wine
• Magazine Subscriptions
• Gift Certificates
• Movie Tickets
• Cameras
• Telephone Calling Cards
• Cameras

1. Ask him what he wants. If he says "a new trash can," get it.

2. Buy a gift basket filled with his favorite beer, wine or foods.

3. Give him a prepaid phone card so he can talk to the grandkids without running up his phone bill.

4. Hire someone to do his yard work.

5. Buy a gift certificate to a local restaurant, movie theater or bookstore.

6. Arrange for a round of golf or a fishing trip.

7. Buy a year's pass to national or state parks.

8. Put together a book about his life. Include photographs, news clippings and letters from friends.

9. Give him a magazine subscription or buy him a book about a subject he's interested in. Choose the large-print edition if necessary.

10. Buy prepaid tickets to the local car wash.

11. Give him a family photograph in a nice frame or give him a "point-and-shoot" camera and film so he can take his own pictures.

Tips & Warnings

• If grandpa doesn't already own a computer, an answering machine, an electronic organizer, a VCR or a CD player, he may not be interested in learning how to use them. Avoid buying such things unless you are sure they'll be appreciated and used.
• An inexpensive tape player makes a good gift for grandpa. The grandkids can make tapes and send them to him. Be sure the tape player has a record function if you'd like grandpa to send tapes back to the kids.
