What gift should you give a young grandfather?

Some grandads are still young (under 60). You may be wondering what would please your young grandfather; Amikado has a selection of products just for you. Any occasion is a good opportunity to offer him a simple or personalised gift, but Grandfather’s Day is a perfect moment. Here are three personalised gift ideas to make your young grandad smile.

The engraved beer glass

Is your grandad a beer lover who often relaxes on a Sunday evening with a glass and bottle in hand? To delight him, Amikado suggests offering him our fantastic beer glass engraved with his name. Receiving a personalised beer glass from his grandchild is sure to make him happy. If your grandad isn’t a beer fan, we’ve got plenty more gift ideas for you.

The personalised kitchen apron

Do you enjoy cooking with your grandparents or just with your grandad and can’t decide between several gift options? Does your grandad still use that old apron every time he cooks, or would you simply like to cook together? The 100% cotton personalised kitchen apron is an original gift for a grandfather. Personalising his apron will turn him into a star chef — or at least make him look like one. It’s also a multi-purpose apron he can use for gardening or DIY. You can personalise it with a name, dedication or design of your choice.

The personalised retro car document holder

Even if he’s young, your grandad may sometimes misplace his car documents. Amikado offers an original and useful gift that will bring him joy and help him stay organised. The personalised Retro car document holder will allow your grandfather to store all his car papers in a customised leather case with his name, favourite colour, preferred retro car design and even a registration number if you wish. Everything to make him happy and help him enjoy a wonderful Grandfather’s Day.

What gift should you give an elderly gentleman?

Your grandfather holds a special place in your life and Grandfather’s Day is approaching, but you don’t know what to offer him? Don’t worry — Amikado has everything planned. Here is a small list of personalised gift ideas for your dear elderly grandad.

A personalised slate door sign

Decorate the kitchen door, the front door or any room at your grandparents’ house with a beautiful personalised slate sign. You can personalise it with a name, a basket or an image from the Amikado selection. A personalised gift that your grandad will see every time he enters a room, making him think of you — and the family.

A “Great Book of Your Life” to complete

Your grandad often shares stories from his life, and you’re out of gift ideas for Grandfather’s Day? We suggest offering him a wonderful gift: the “Great Book of Your Life” to complete. A fantastic book to fill in alone or with the family. It includes various life themes and blank pages waiting for the stories of your grandad’s life. An ideal gift to share with the whole family.

A personalised STAR storm lighter

Still no personalised gift ideas to make your grandad happy for his special day? We recommend a STAR storm lighter personalised with a photo of him or of his grandchildren. You can also engrave a name of your choice and select the model you think will suit him best.

A retro gift for a grandfather?

Offering nostalgia to your grandfather for his special day? Some might say it’s too predictable… but they’d be wrong! By offering emotion, you’re sure to hit the mark and delight your grandad. For our seniors, what a pleasure it is to revisit the great moments of their adolescence, childhood and even… the day or year of their birth. Amikado suggests offering your grandfather the authentic newspaper from the day of his birth — a real edition of a daily newspaper. And if you’re lucky, you’ll even have several choices.

More recently printed but just as rich in information, the “Year in Memory” book from Larousse is a great alternative retro gift. It recounts all the events of the year of his birth, marriage, graduation… whichever year you choose. The collection even goes back to 1919, making it suitable for centenarians.
