He taught us how to ride a bike and change a tire, and now it’s our turn to gift grandpa with something he really wants this holiday season. From gifts inspired by the outdoors to the tools he needs to grill up a barbecue dinner, these gifts for grandpa will have him grinning on Christmas morning. He never asks for anything, and he certainly won’t tell us what he really wants to find under the tree, but these great gifts for grandpas are what he’s secretly asking Santa for this year. Our grandfathers are so many things to us—advisors, friends, mentors, teachers, and comedians. They cook up the best hamburgers and tell the best stories. Whether you call him Pop-Pop, Grandpa, PaPaw, or Papa, he’ll appreciate a gift that shows how much he means to you—something thoughtful, something creative, something like these great gifts for the grandfathers we love so dearly.
