5 Gift ideas to give Grandad.
It can be hard to pick out the perfect presents for your family, especially when it comes to picking out gifts for your grandparents. If you are looking for the perfect gift to give your grandad this year, something that will make him smile and remember old family memories, then take a look at these 5 gift ideas you can get for your grandfather.
Restored Old Family photographs
Old family photographs can make for a great present, especially when you take the time to restore them. Restoring old family photographs that have wrinkles, tears, discoloration and other issues will help your grandfather see them as they were meant to be seen: cherished mementos of family history that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Customized Photo Mug
One way to gift your grandad family memories this year is to order a customized photo mug. A customized photo mug will let him get a long look at his cherished family history every time he drinks coffee in the morning or hot cocoa on a cold winter night. If you don’t think he’d cherish a mug, consider other customized photo gift options, such as blankets, clocks, books, shirts, tote bags and more. To make this type of gift truly special, make sure you choose photos that are special to your grandad. This can include photos of his children, grandchildren; his siblings, parents; as well as photos of his partner.
Drawings from the Grandkids
There are few things more precious to grandparents than special drawings or crafts from their grandkids or even great-grandkids. These drawings can be a special part of family history, as they get passed down from generation to generation. If you want to make them more special than simple doodles, have the grandkids or great-grandkids draw them on nicer paper or put the drawings in a frame afterward.
Family Video DVD
Family history is special, which is why everyone loves to watch family videos from time to time. You can help grandad watch the videos whenever he wants by transferring important home movies to a DVD that he can watch on his DVD player. You can even customize home movie DVDs with features like menus, special effects and subtitles with the right program. This is definitely a gift that grandpas will appreciate, especially if you have videos of family members who have since passed on.
Family Reunion Day Trip
Family reunions make for a perfect gift for your grandpa, especially if it’s been a while since everyone has been together. A day trip combined with a family reunion will let your grandpa enjoy a nice day out to a favorite place, along with great food and of course, the family. Make sure you encourage people to bring family photos and family videos so that they can be shared with everyone else during the event. If possible, have the photos and videos scanned/copied so everyone can have them.
