- You likely have many pictures of you and your grandfather that he would love to show off. Instead of giving them to him in a plain picture frame, why not create a custom frame or picture album with a special message? Use sites such as personalcreations.com to choose a frame and then write your own message, or choose one of their pre-made frames specifically for grandfathers. Not only will he love looking at the pictures of the two of you, but he'll also love to see your personalized message written just for him.

When choosing a personalized gift for your grandfather, think about some of his hobbies or interests. If he is a cigar smoker, engrave a silver cigar case or cutter. Sites such as personalizationmall.com allow you to engrave any message, monogram or name on both the case and the cutter.
Perhaps your grandfather is a fan of watches or pocket watches. If so, purchase and engrave a pocket watch for him. Decorate the outside with his initials in a classy font, and write a personal message on the inside. This classic gift is something he can use everyday.
Another engraved gift that is useful and original is a money clip. Allow your grandfather to get rid of his bulky wallet, and replace it with a classic money clip. Thingsremembered.com allows you to engrave up to 3 lines of text, and preview your product before making a purchase. -
