5 thoughtful Father's Day gift ideas for grandfathers

There are many gift ideas that can help a grandfather remember that he's loved on Father's Day. Try one these thoughtful ideas.

Your children's grandfather most likely does not have as much access to your children's creativity as you do, so consider framing a piece of your children's art as a Father's Day present.

• Pick something that he or she has made in a school art class, or have your child design something unique for the holiday.
• Have it nicely framed and their grandfather will have a token of his grandchild to display in his home.

To celebrate with your grandfather this year, try purchasing fishing permits for everyone in your family, then plan a fishing excursion you can enjoy together.

• Pack fishing equipment, a picnic and fun games and activities you can enjoy outside together.
• If you fish somewhere where you're allowed to keep the fish, consider grilling a delicious fish dinner for your grandfather when the day is over.

Certain grandfathers tend to gravitate to golf, and if yours does, get him some personalized golf tees.

• You can order golf tees personalized with your grandfather's name, or even have them printed with a loving message.
• Each time your grandfather goes to tee off, he will think about how much he's appreciated by his grandchildren and his family.

For a personal gift this year, give your grandfather a printed scrapbook of pictures of him with the family.

• Gather photos including him and the grandchildren from when they were born until now, then create captions to accompany the photos.
• Many photo printing companies will print and bond professional-looking books at an affordable price.

Lots of grandfathers have favourite teams, so why not help him see his team play in person by getting him a set of tickets to the game?

• Pick a game that works with both of your schedules, so you can go and enjoy cheering on his team at the game together.
• To make the gift even more festive, include a T-shirt, jersey or hat from his favourite team along with the tickets so he has the perfect outfit to wear when he attends.

When Father's Day comes around, show grandpa how much you appreciate him with one of these thoughtful gifts.
