39 best grandad gifts he’ll be delighted to unwrap this Christmas

While picking out a thoughtful gift for your grandma isn't too taxing a task, we'd argue that locating the best grandad gifts can be a little trickier. Despite the obvious struggle to come up with new ideas every year, it also doesn't help that they're often men of few words. But that doesn't give you an excuse to skip on a sentimental gift or personalised gift your gramps will treasure forever, whether celebrating his birthday, recent retirement, new home or looking for a brilliant (yet budget-friendly) Christmas gift.
From gardening essentials and cosy jumpers to tech accessories and memory-making gift experiences, we’ve got you covered with this edit of grandad gifts — which, FYI, has been pulled together following intense questioning of the GLAMOUR team's grandfathers. Essentially, there's no need to settle for a gift card, a (some may say boring) bottle of red wine or yet another gift set stuffed with socks. So, get ready to head into 2024 as his favourite grandchild.

They are sure to impress at your grandad’s next drinks evening with friends and save your grandma from having to make room for a high ball ice-maker in the freezer.

Let his friends never again be under the illusion that they might be winning this round.
