He’s not just a dad. He’s a grand dad.
Grandpas are an extra-special kind of dad. Not only did they teach their own kids everything they know, but they taught their kids’ kids too. And even though they also passed down dozens of corny dad jokes you’ll never hear the end of, they deserve to be celebrated in a big way on Father’s Day, on their birthdays, and on any day of the year. So we’ve compiled a list of the top gifts for Grandpa to show him you’ve been listening to his stories and know what he likes. Whether he’s a homebody or an outdoorsman, a style icon or a sports fan, we’ve got the perfect gift just for him.
How we picked the best gifts for Grandpa
To come up with the best gift ideas for Grandpa, we researched gifts for men, gifts for dad, and even gifts for Grandma! We looked for unique gifts that had high ratings and rave reviews, and we asked the men in our lives what they’d like to get. We even found best-selling Father’s Day gifts that reflect the new hobbies many granddads picked up during the pandemic, like gardening, cooking, and doing puzzles. Whatever you decide on, it will make him even prouder to be your grandpa.
For the family chef
Our Place Perfect Pot

For the relaxed grandpa
Cozy Earth Stretch-Knit Bamboo Lounge Tee
He may already have a drawer full of T-shirts, but he’s likely to want to replace them all with these Cozy Earth softies made from viscose from bamboo and a little spandex for stretch. The relaxed fit ensures he feels good whether he’s staying home, running errands, or going out to dinner. In fact, he’ll be so comfortable, he may end up wearing it as pajamas.
For the whiskey connoisseur
Dingle Distillery Single Malt Batch No. 5
With rich notes of molten honeycomb and salted caramel, this small-batch single malt Irish whiskey from Dingle Distillery might just replace dessert.

No club soda needed.

For the writer
Fisher AG7 Original Astronaut Space Pen
If Grandpa always carries a pen in his pocket, he will be awed by the Fisher AG7 because it’s the same pen that has accompanied astronauts on every manned space flight since Apollo 7. The stainless-steel pen is precision assembled and will write at any angle, even in zero gravity. It won’t leak in his pocket, has a lifetime guarantee, and comes with the story behind the pen, which is likely to inspire his own retelling of watching the first space mission. While you’re shopping, you might as well pick up an extra pen—it’s a great gift for bosses too.
For the timekeeper

For the green grandfather
Vitamix FoodCycler FC-50
If your grandfather’s ideal weekend involves digging in the dirt—planting, pruning, and harvesting in the garden—then he knows the true value of “black gold,” or compost. Making compost can be a multistep process unless you have the FoodCycler FC-50 by Vitamix. He can just scrape table scraps (fruit cores, vegetable peels, dairy, and even chicken bones) into a bucket and press the button; the FoodCycler will break it down into a nutrient-rich fertilizer to add to soil. A carbon filter lid means no worries about odors, so Grandpa can keep this compact gadget right on the kitchen counter.

Bonus: Because these are Prime eligible on Amazon, they make a super-easy last-minute Father’s Day, birthday, or Christmas gift.
For the collector of dust bunnies
Shark IQ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum
You can’t blame him for not wanting to vacuum, but those dust bunnies multiply fast. Luckily, he can just lie back and watch TV while Shark’s smart robot vacuum deep cleans his home—and then cleans itself. Not only does it feature powerful suction for both carpets and floors, but it also can be programmed through his phone or voice command to schedule cleanings or target a specific room or area to clean right now. It empties itself into a bagless base that holds up to 30 days’ worth of dust, debris, and pet hair, which means he only has to deal with the vacuum cleaner once a month. Everything should be this easy.
For the music lover
Galison Mixtapes 1,000-Piece Puzzle
He’s old enough to know what cassette tapes are, so he’ll appreciate the nostalgic and colorful image that artist Julie Seabrook Ream created for Galison’s 1,000-piece puzzle. Your grandfather will enjoy putting together this jigsaw puzzle as much as he once enjoyed putting together his own mixtapes. In fact, don’t be surprised if he pulls out his old shoeboxes full of them and you have to teach him how to transform them into Spotify playlists.
For the whiskey lover
Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
Granddad’s never tasted whiskey like this before! Though whiskey snobs may initially turn up their noses at the idea of peanut butter–flavored whiskey, one sip of the smooth, nutty whiskey from California-based Skrewball will be enough to get him to open his mind to the possibilities. Who knows, you may even be able to convince him to join TikTok next. Need another reason to add to your cart? Skrewball is a women-owned and Asian American and Pacific Islander–owned business.
For the treasure hunter
MineLab Go-Find 66 Metal Detector

Offering a great excuse to get outdoors and explore, MineLab’s Go-Find series is filled with features to help him discern trash from treasure. It comes with earbuds, a holder for his phone, a digging trowel, two camouflage skins for the body, and a bag to carry the compact, lightweight detector. Round out the gift with a Curse of Oak Island book to stoke his interest and a sweet card filled with quotes from treasure hunters of yore. And just like that, he has a new hobby.
For the memory keeper

It’s a way for him to pass on his grandfatherly wisdom and a treat for younger generations who can read it to see the world through his eyes.

For the wine drinker
Josh Cellars Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Zinfandel
Give Gramps something to celebrate with a bourbon-barrel-aged Zinfandel from Wine Enthusiast‘s 2021 Winery of the Year. A classic California wine, this medium-bodied award winner is vibrant and spicy, and he’ll love the flavors of licorice and cracked black pepper complemented by notes of vanilla and blackberry.

For an egg-cellent granddad

If you’re in the market for a gag gift or funny Father’s Day gift, look no further.
For the guy in need of a good night’s sleep

If finding the right pillow has been a Goldilocks experience for Grandpa—too soft, too hard, too thin, too thick—you can finally get him one that’s just right. The patented design of Cushion Lab’s Deep Sleep Pillow provides full cushioning support and will cradle his head and neck so comfortably that, even though he’s a grandfather, he’ll sleep like a baby.
For the breakfast lover
Wolferman’s Bakery Favorites Tray
Wolferman’s Bakery has been making super-thick English muffins for more than a century, and they’re as popular as ever because they’re also super-delicious. Grandpa will love this basket of treats, which comes with one package of the original 1910 recipe, one package of San Francisco–style sourdough, and one package of cinnamon raisin. It also includes a classic cinnamon roll with a packet of icing, a blueberry scone, a pecan kringle, strawberry preserves, and Tiffin blend ground coffee. This is truly a breakfast to make him feel like a king. The gift basket is packaged on a beautiful wooden tray with handles, so don’t be surprised if he expects breakfast in bed.
For the bird watcher
Derek Martin Wool Nest Starter
This gift is totally for the birds—and the grandpas who love them. Metalwork artist Derek Martin created this beautiful piece of functional art after he noticed birds flying off with the yarn his wife had tied to garden stakes to mark the rows. Grandpa can stuff one of these steel spiral spheres with bits of wool, cotton, pet fur, and other scraps to help his winged friends furnish their nests in spring. During the winter, he can fill it with birdseed balls to keep his feathered friends fed. His imagination won’t be the only thing taking flight as he gets a kick out of encouraging theft.
For the grandfather who needs help staying hydrated
HidrateSpark Pro
Rather than nag Grandpa about how much H2O he’s drinking (or not drinking), let the HidrateSpark Pro do it in its own inimitable way. The free app will figure out how much water he should be drinking every day and send glowing reminders and text notifications to prompt him to take a few more sips. The smart water bottle holds 20 ounces of water and is soft and easy to grip, making staying hydrated and healthy a snap.
For the snacker
Somos Que Rico Chips and Salsa Variety Kit
Spice up his snack time with a flavorful kit that includes two bags of Unusually Thick and Crunchy White Tortilla Chips (that’s their actual name, but it’s also an accurate description) and four jars of made-in-Mexico salsa.
