Best gifts for grandads that are perfect for Father’s Day 2024

A grandfather is a very special person indeed.

Not just because he’s always good for cadging Werther’s Originals off, or coming up trumps with useful life advice. It’s because he’s a dependable soul who has always been there for you. He knows how to break the ice with a well-timed joke and is always there to smooth the way at any signs of trouble.

Needless to say, when it comes to finding a great gift to show him just how much he means to you, it can be the trickiest of tasks - even if you’re shopping for the easiest of customers. After all, how many wash bags does a man really need?

No, for such a special recipient like your legendary, irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind pops, only the best gifts are to be wrapped carefully and tied up with a bow.

Personalised things are often a winner, because no one ever tires of seeing something with their name on it. Tech, if that’s his bag, also make a superb offering, while food and drink are easily the foolproof crowd-pleaser.

Whether you’re shopping for his birthday, Father’s Day, Christmas, or just because he deserves a treat, we’ve rounded up the best ideas to spell out his MVP status, loud and clear.
